I usually don’t report celebrity deaths on this site, but a few weeks ago we lost John Hughes, now the news that Patrick Swayze is gone. Who can forget him in his three iconic movies – Red Dawn, Dirty Dancing and Ghost? He was such a fixture in the late 80s. I always found it […]

Movies: Twilight: New Moon Brand New Trailer
Here it is a brand spanking new trailer for Twilight: New Moon.
Michael Jackson This is It Trailer Debuts
Ok, I’ll admit I almost teared up watching the trailer for the upcoming Michael Jackson movie – This is It. Sony and AIG did a great job on this, makes you wonder what a full blown live tour would have been like. From the brief moments you see, MJ still had it. You can check […]
Studio Plant Scott Essman on the set of Monster Mutt
Our resident (or is it former now?) studio plant Scott Essman recently visited the set of the indie horror film Monster Mutt. This movie is notable because it’s being independently financed and will include make up and creature effects by Drac Studios – the folks who did the make up on Watchmen, The Curious Case […]

MOVIE NEWS: Transformers Now the 9th Highest Grossing Movie of all time!
For a movie no one liked and got universally panned an awful lot of you went to see it this summer. Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen proves the adage that I guess we critics really don’t matter (even though I believe I was one of the few who thought it was ok – not […]
MOVIE NEWS: Brad Pitt proves Celebrity Still matters, Inglourious Basterds a Hit!
Has Brad Pitt ever been in Box Office Hit? I’m hard pressed to think of one – besides the Oceans series. Inglourious Basterds is on track to be the number one movie this weekend, pulling in an estimated $65.1 million worldwide and $37.6 million in the US. Not bad numbers at all for a film […]
MOVIE REVIEW: Michelle looks at Inglourious Basterds!
Whenever I review a Quentin Tarantino I feel like I have to establish where I am on the Tarantino curve. So before we begin, I love Pulp Fiction (who doesn’t?), love Kill Bill, hate Kill Bill 2, don’t like Jackie Brown, loathe the dialogue in Grindhouse and think Reservoir Dogs is just ok – I’ll […]
MOVIE REVIEW: The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard – Used Car Mercenaries!
Paramount’s The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard is, next to The Hangover, the funniest film of the summer. It’s unapologetically crass, irreverent, obnoxious, politically incorrect – pick the adjectives you prefer. It’s also, thanks to fine performances from a varied and idiosyncratic cast of characters – played with gusto by an equally idiosyncratic cast of […]

MOVIE REVIEW: G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra – Yo! Joe No Go!!
Some movies you see because the trailers and the buzz are so good. With G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, I went because I wanted to see if the movie could possibly maintain the same laughable level as the trailers – and the buzz certainly suggested it would. It did. The Rise of Cobra is […]
