Rudd does funny

Posted 20 years ago

When you see Paul Rudd steal scenes in movies like ANCHORMAN and THE 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN, you gotta wonder why he doesn’t do more comedies — especially since the studios are all still scrambling for their own raunchy blockbusters...

N’awlins Lee Jones

Posted 20 years ago

There’s a new sheriff in town, and his name is Tommy Lee Jones. Tasting the leftovers of Alec Baldwin, the ever-gruff Jones will play Louisiana lawman Dave Robicheaux (a role previously played to the opposite of success by Baldwin in...

Fresh Barbarella

Posted 20 years ago

An upgrade to the cheeky 1968 sci-fi/erotica BARBARELLA has been in the works for years, but veteran producer Dino De Laurentiis still has it on his “to do” list. While pimping the rather needless Lecter prequel HANNIBAL RISING, De Laurentiis...

The recent After Dark Horrorfest collected a bunch of low-profile terror tales of varying quality, and at least one was well-received enough to merit release on its own: the haunted house flick THE ABANDONED. The movie stars perennial Euro-villain Karel...

More lost in The Mist

Posted 20 years ago

Frank Darabont’s long-in-the-making movie version of Stephen King’s story THE MIST is finally gathering steam (pun acknowledged) with more potential victims being added with alarming alacrity. Actor, genre fan and generally cool cat Thomas Jane is already on board as...

More Wonder wannabes

Posted 20 years ago

Long before Joss Whedon was even attached to write, direct and generally “re-invent” the character for a live-action feature based on DC Comics’ lasso-swirling Amazon WONDER WOMAN, countless actresses have been “in the running” to wear the bulletproof bracelets and...
