Aniston & Bateman

Posted 18 years ago

Though Jennifer Aniston shared a pad with Vince Vaughn in THE BREAK-UP, was she secretly eyeballing his chum Jason Bateman? Regardless, the two will wind up together (sort of) in the upcoming comedy THE BASTER (not to be confused with...

Infestation trailer

Mutant bug movies. There really just aren’t enough of them. So let’s be grateful for INFESTATION! The upcoming flick stars Chris Marquette as an average office worker battling a sudden outbreak of gargantuan killer insects. It’s clearly being played for...

A Beastly teen

Tokyo! trailer

Posted 18 years ago

I’m not sure what to make of TOKYO!, but it certainly seems intriguing. Described as a “fantasy in three movements”, the surreal triptych features segments from visionary directors Michel Gondry (THE ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND), Leos Carax (POLA...

Hawk the Slayer sequel

Posted 18 years ago

Here’s something I honestly thought I would never see: a sequel to the deliciously cheesy 1980 fantasy flick HAWK THE SLAYER. The original sword-and-sorcery tale starred now-familiar character actor John Terry (yes, Jack Shephard’s dad on “LOST”) as the warrior...

Rourke rides Horses

Posted 18 years ago
