Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Now, I've been a bit pessimistic about this movie... actually, that's not true. Being pessimistic would mean I feel strongly about it and I don't. The whole TWILIGHT craze has passed me by. I'm open for the movie working, but nothing I've seen so far has really struck me as being impressive. At this point if it's just not THE COVENANT with vampires and Kristen Stewart, the movie will be a big surprise for me.

Hey, everyone. “Moriarty” here.
So... have you heard that Spike Jonze is making a film out of Maurice Sendak’s classic children’s book WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE?
If you forgot, you’re not to blame. The film was originally announced a few years ago, and then set for an October ’08 release, and then... well... that didn’t happen. And it didn’t happen for a variety of reasons, which all basically boil down to “it wasn’t ready.”

Thirty minutes of WATCHMEN recently screened in UK, after which Zack Snyder and Dave Gibbons presented themselves for interrogation.
Among the topics addressed was the rumor that multiple versions of the movie's ending exist, and Zack (once and for all) settled a question that has troubled so many for so long: To squid, or not to squid?
Jack Carter was there, and sent in this report...

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here.
I’ve been a big fan of Mr. Danny Boyle’s work since TRAINSPOTTING and was even one of the only people, seemingly, to dig the hell out of A LIFE LESS ORDINARY. So when the opportunity to sit down with him as he came through Austin promoting his newest, SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, I jumped at the chance.

Ms. H got a look at Frank Miller's SPIRIT adaptation, which hits theaters on Christmas Day. Hearing some lackluster word on this one - Ms. H's message pretty much supports those assessments.
ANd, yes, I know the blue highlight box around the review is ginormous...can't seem to shrink it down for some reason.
Saw The Spirit and thought I'd give you some feedback.

Hey folks, Harry here... Up front a warning - MacGuyver states at the end of his review that you should probably skip the review and just see the film when it comes out. But he does say it is better than ALI & MIAMI VICE in its current form, though not at the classic status of Mann's LAST OF THE MOHICANS or HEAT. Of course - he is also saying that when the film he saw didn't have a real score in place, wasn't color timed, didn't have much of its finished digital trickery in place - and was an initial loose edit at two hours and 40 minutes.

I am – Hercules!!
The names on the teleplay for tonight’s installment of “Fringe” are those of co-creator J.J. Abrams and “Alias” vet/showrunner Jeff Pinkner.
It was about giant heart-gripping parasites, a Mr. Smith, a Mr. Jones, a German prison and a Little Hill.
Mr. Jones is played by Jared Harris (“Ocean’s Twelve,” “Lady in the Water”).
Abrams’ name has now landed on four of the first seven episodes of the series.
Bandwidth. Predictions. Reactions.

Hey, everyone. “Moriarty” here. Halloween started early in my house this year, and I guess it’s ending a little late. Fine by me.
I’m a big ol’ horror nerd, so it’s always a big holiday for me anyway. And Toshi’s three now, and this is his third big Halloween out and about, in costume, with his best trick’r’treatin’ buddy, Frannie. It’s honestly one of my favorite nights of the year, and it gets better each year as Toshi and Frannie get more and more into it.

This interview with TERMINATOR SALVATION Production Designer Martin Laing shows us quite a bit of new stuff...both concept art & real footage.
I'm not blown away yet, but my Suckometer isn't sounding off either...

Hey, everyone. “Moriarty” here.
Darren Aronofsky’s best movie. Easily.
That’s the short answer.
Mickey Rourke’s awesome. And for the first time in a long time, I mean that in a specific and not a general way.

No offense to the fine folks at IFC Films, but why in the hell is Ji-woon Kim's THE GOOD THE BAD THE WEIRD not getting a 2,000-screen, major studio release in the U.S.? Since the "Americans can't read subtitles!" caveat was retired eight years ago with Ang Lee CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON, I can't think of a single excuse for this rollicking hybrid of Spaghetti westerns and vintage Hollywood spectacles getting relegated to big city art houses.
Except for this possibility: the studios are ashamed.
