Maguire de-webbed?

Posted 19 years ago

Has Tobey Maguire decided to hang up the Spidey suit (again) and put Peter Parker in the past, before SPIDER-MAN 3 can even hit theaters to what will likely bust box office records? That’s apparently what he’s telling press while...

G.I. Marky Mark?

Posted 19 years ago

“Yo, Joe!” “COBRAAAA!!!” “A real American hero!” “And knowing is half the battle!” That’s about the extent of what I recall from that old G.I. JOE cartoon, along with constantly wondering how trained soldiers could shoot millions of color-coded laser...

Snyder’s Punch

Posted 19 years ago

Wow, director Zack Snyder isn’t dawdling around to see how 300 does, or even waiting until WATCHMEN gets rolling (or doesn’t, he said fearfully), before announcing another new project — an original “action-fantasy” called SUCKER PUNCH. He’s even got a...

Aliens vs. Road Crew

Posted 19 years ago

Is safety orange the new black? Yep, as far as Dreamworks is concerned. They’re literally taking the high concept of MEN IN BLACK to the streets – or, more accurately, under it. The studio has grabbed a script called THE...

Vacancy poster

Posted 19 years ago

Wow, this one was an ambush to me, but I’d say it looks worthwhile — Kate Beckinsale and Luke Wilson in VACANCY, a dark thriller about a stranded couple who get trapped and tormented at a remote roadside motel. The...

QT Grindhouse fest

Posted 19 years ago

Can’t wait a month or so for Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez’s exploitation team-up GRINDHOUSE to get a taste of lurid sex, drugs, perversion, kung fu and random violence? Do you live in Los Angeles? Then you’re in luck —...
