Jennifer says, with regard to the ENTIRE movie “It’s like one long death scene.” BINGO! The rest of the post is MY review… What happened!? I t was based on a novel by Cormac McCarthy, same dude that wrote ‘No Country for Old Men’! The poster sums up the movie: SPOILERS! After a cataclysmic unexplained [...]
This is an insane business. IN-SANE. Robin Hood opened to mediocre numbers. Especially mediocre given the enormo budget (230M, some report). Apparently, it’s supposed to make up for its lackluster domestic BO with some gonzo world-wide numbers. As of this writing, six days into its run, the tally is 45M domestic, 75M international.

Jason’s kills. Up through Friday the 13th part 8, Jason Takes Manhattan. I don’t know if it’s a record. First, the criteria. It has to be a bi-pedal human-esque character to inflict the carnage. Second, it can’t be a war movie (including Rambo). Third, no kung-fu movies. With my self-imposed rules, I would put Freddy [...]
I’ve been asked to do a take on the remake of THE BIRDS. Basically, 3 – 5 pages — the plot, characters, setting, why it would be cool. Yep, they’re gonna remake it. I’ve seen THE BIRDS about… oh, five times. My mom always used to rave about it. Crazy scary, she’d say. And it [...]
