“Farce of the Penguins” — Bot Saget’s new comedy

Monday, October 30th, 2006

I really haven’t seen or heard much publicity yet about “Farce of the Penguins”, so it enticed me to post a little something of my own.
“Farce of the Penguins” is written and directed by none other than Bob Saget. Yes I said Bob Saget, but trust me, “Farce of the Penguins” is no family […]

Borat isn’t the end

Friday, October 27th, 2006

Apparently, Sacha Baron Cohen, the actor that plays Borat, wants to keep making movies. He has already made two with his two most famous characters, Ali G and Borat, and will now move onto his third alter ego, Bruno. However, the announcement to play Bruno triggered an intense bidding war in Hollywood on […]

Ben Affleck, Jeremy Piven and Alicia Keys in “Smokin’ Aces”

Friday, October 27th, 2006

Remember that movie “Narc” from a few years back starring Jason Patric and Ray Liotta? If not, it’d be a wise idea to add it to your Netflix queue and catch up on Joe Carnahan’s crime drama. He wrote and directed this masterpiece involving narcotics detectives trying to solve the murder of a […]

The Prestige

Wednesday, October 25th, 2006

Christopher Nolan’s first movie since Batman is a distinct step back towards the narrative and feature style he exhibited in his first few major films. The already accomplished director of such gems as Memento and Insomnia left the thriller/drama genres for the comic book action of Batman and accomplished a rare feat, a comic […]

Warner Brothers, what are you thinking?

Tuesday, October 24th, 2006

Probably one of my most visited web sites, IMDB, posted a story today involving Warner Brothers and a bunch of South African teenage and child amputees.
Executives at movie giant Warner Brothers have been accused of exploiting African amputees to garner publicity for new movie Blood Diamond. The studio handpicked 27 teenage and child amputees from […]

IESB interviews Christopher Nolan

Remember that insanely funny movie “Shaun of the Dead”? Well, director Edgar Wright is at it again. His new movie “Hot Fuzz” stars the same duo from “Shaun of the Dead”, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, and this time, they’re mismatched police detectives who must uncover the truth about the quiet little town […]

Kirsten Dunst turned down “American Beauty” role because she didn’t want to kiss Kevin Spacey

Monday, October 16th, 2006

I can’t say that I’d want to kiss Kevin Spacey either, but I’m a he and she’s a she, so in her situation it’s a little different.
Kirsten Dunst, 15 at the time, was offered the role of Angela Hayes. Her character was the lusted after teenager sought by Kevin Spacey. Obviously she turned […]

Sunday, October 15th, 2006

The incredibly talented and incredibly hot Kate Beckinsale is going to try her hand at writing a book. However, she won’t be publishing it under her family name. According to eecho.ie:
She says: “I’ll probably write a novel but not under my own name.”
“I wouldn’t want to be a celebrity author. That sounds highly […]

For those of you who haven’t yet head about “I Am Legend“, it centers around the last man alive. His name is Neville. The rest of the world has been turned into blood-thirsty vampires and they’re out to drink his blood. Obviously Neville’s not going to let this happen, so he must […]

Robert Rodríguez and Quentin Tarantino’s “Grindhouse” Trailer

Wednesday, October 11th, 2006

I’ve been waiting to see anything from Robert Rodríguez and Quentin Tarantino’s “Grindhouse” for some time now. Well, now’s the time. Last night on Spike TV, we were given a sneak peak.

How sweet is that? If this trailer doesn’t raise the hype around “Grindhouse”, I don’t know what will.
“Grindhouse” is due out […]

Tuesday, October 10th, 2006

The new “Déjà Vu” trailer is now up at apple.com. If you’ve seen “The Departed” yet, you’ve most likely seen this trailer, but if you arrived late, there’s a good chance you missed it.

Borat at the Toronto Film Festival

Friday, October 6th, 2006

I was perusing the millions and millions of videos posted on YouTube today and just so happened to stumble across Sacha Baron Cohen as Borat answering questions at the Toronto Film Festival.
I don’t know how he does it. He’s able to keep a straight face the entire time and every word that comes out […]

Tuesday, October 3rd, 2006

“Little Children”, due out in theaters October 6th, proves the ability Kate Winslet’s has to pick the most ideal roles that cater to her acting style. Her previous movies such as “Finding Neverland”, “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” and “Titanic” were all excellent movies and despite “Titanic”, they were all relatively small grossing […]

Snakes on a Plane in Japanese?

Tuesday, October 3rd, 2006

That’s right. Snakes on a Plane is now in Japanese and here’s the trailer. This couldn’t be any more hilarious.

… and to think I thought the original U.S. trailer couldn’t have been more funny. Oh how wrong I was. Utilizing the skills of a Japanese narrator was a completely brilliant idea […]
