It begins when Jamal Malik’s [Dev Patel] hot streak on the Indian version of Who Wants To Be a Millionaire culminates in a ten million rupee total before he is taken away by police on charges of […]

MOVIE NEWS: Neil Gaiman’s Coraline Start’s It’s Marketing Push Today. New Trailer, Website, and Ecards!
Back in the day I was a huge fan of Neil Gaiman’s and own the almost all of the original run of the Sandman Books, including the Death Mini-Series (when are we going to get THAT movie? It can’t be that hard to make.). However, I haven’t read any of his novels. So I’m real […]

MOVIE REVIEW: The Day The Earth Stood Still: Well Mounted But Empty
The Robert Wise film, The Day The Earth Stood Still, was a metaphor for a cold war that was threatening to go hot. The remake is an ecological horror tale – if we can’t take care of the earth, we – and everything we’ve created – will be removed. It seems that we are at […]
