Posted 18 years ago

Director Len Wiseman managed to squeeze a trilogy out of his UNDERWORLD series (though he didn’t direct RISE OF THE LYCANS), and now it sounds like he believes three is the magic number. Bloody Disgusting recently drilled the filmmaker about...

Rourke really Wrestles

Posted 18 years ago

By now you probably know that resuscitated actor Mickey Rourke can seem a bit eccentric, but apparently he really got into the mindset of his spandex-clad on-screen character Randy “The Ram” Robinson. At the SAG awards, the pumped and peculiarly...

Chrome Angels trailer

Posted 18 years ago

To preface the following clip, I should confess a few things: I love low-budget (but well-made) schlock, WESTWORLD is one of my all-time favorite flicks, and I have an ongoing infatuation with Stacey Dash. Having said that, here’s a trailer...

Watchmen deal details

Posted 18 years ago

Comic fans are thrilled that the imbroglio between Warner Bros. and Fox has been resolved, and we’ll see the epic WATCHMEN on its intended release date. While specifics of the agreement were to be confidential, nothing remains a secret for...

Evans vs. Pilgrim

Posted 18 years ago

There aren’t many movies I’m looking forward to more than SCOTT PILGRIM vs. THE WORLD. Not only is it based on a rather awesome series of graphic novels by Bryan O’Malley, but it’s the next movie from director Edgar Wright...
