Animated Anakin!

George Lucas just can’t seem to let the STAR WARS universe be. Didn’t he see the performance by the cast of ACROSS THE UNIVERSE at Sunday’s Grammy Awards? Let it be, man. I’m kidding. There is way too much demand...

Diary of Dead trailer

Posted 18 years ago

It’s impossible to watch the new trailer for DIARY OF THE DEAD without thinking about CLOVERFIELD. Even more so now that I’ve made the direct (and incredibly apt) comparison. DEAD follows a filmmaker and his friends as he shoots ‘the...

McAvoy’s Bounty

Posted 18 years ago

Oh, to be the hottest shit in Hollywood. Leonardo DiCaprio did it, Colin Farrell did it, and the massive dump Brittany Murphy just took at the Chateau Marmont did it. Now it’s James McAvoy’s turn. Was his performance in ATONEMENT...
