Pride: Pimp in the Water 2008-08-19 22:14:45 In honor of US swimmer Michael Phelps’ historic run of eight gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics, I thought I’d seek out one of the few movies to feature the sport of swimming as its primary focus. In Pride

Watchmen: Russell Hammond Becomes a Superhero 2008-08-16 01:16:54 Hollywood has been turning comic books into movies for years, but more recently, with the success of Sin City, V for Vendetta and 300, there has been an overwhelming rush to seek out the darker material offered by graphic novels. The latest addition to this burgeoning subgenre is Watchmen. Apparently, it’s the most celebrated graphic [...] Read more:Russell

Tropic Thunder: Zoolander Goes to Nam 2008-08-14 00:27:24 After trying his hand at kid-friendly comedy in Night at the Museum and working with the Farrelly brothers for the first time since There’s Something About Mary in The Heartbreak Kid, Ben Stiller decided to return to the role of writer/director/actor in his new movie TropicThunder

Donnie Darko: Seth Rogen’s Big Screen Debut 2008-08-07 18:20:06 Before appearing in The 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up or Superbad, or even showing up as Eager Cameraman in Anchorman, Pineapple Express star Seth Rogen played bully Ricky Danforth in director Richard Kelly’s 2001 cult classic DonnieDarko

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor: Oh No, Not Again 2008-08-05 00:41:24 With all of the hullabaloo surrounding Christian Bale and The Dark Knight, some people might be surprised to learn that Brendan Fraser beat both Bale and The Dark Knight at the box office this past weekend.

Adaptation: Before Meryl Streep Moved to Greece and Started Singing All the Time 2008-07-30 22:32:23 Usually, I find reading a book or watching a movie in which writing by one or more of the characters is central to the plot to be some of the most narrow, least inspired forms of entertainment imaginable. It’s as though the author or screenwriter has spent so much time writing that they have [...] Read more:Greece

The Last King of Scotland: Agent Scully in Africa 2008-07-26 02:12:20 With The X-Files: I Want to Believe new in theaters, I’ve chosen to highlight one of the most successful projects that Gillian Anderson was a part of before returning to the role she is best known for.

Equilibrium: 1984 and The Matrix Have a Baby 2008-07-23 23:34:37 With The Dark Knight fresh in everyone’s mind, I thought I’d go back to one of Christian Bale’s lesser known works: Equilibrium. The film is pretty much The Matrix
set in 1984. Bale plays Keanu Reeves and the Matrix is played by a Fascist regime that seeks to eradicate human emotion with a powerful drug [...]
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, or Mork and Mindy: The Movie 2008-07-21 20:10:29 Besides the fact that Brad Pitt doesn’t play an alien, The Curious
Case of Benjamin
Button is pretty much a straight rip off of the popular 1970s television show Mork and Mindy
. Mork, played by Robin Williams, was a reverse-aging alien who came to earth, fell in love with a woman and pretty [...]
Hellboy II: The Golden Army and Ron Perlman’s Giant Head 2008-07-18 12:20:41 Some people might say that Guillermo del Toro chose Ron Perlman to play Hellboy
based on them having worked together on Blade II. Others might say that Perlman was cast because of his extensive voice work in other comic book-inspired projects. What I say is that Perlman was destined to be Hellboy from the moment [...] Read more:Golden
Bangkok Dangerous: Nicolas Cage’s Creepy Assassin Hair 2008-09-09 09:23:28 For an actor with a history of bizarre and unsettling movie hairstyles, from the see-through fluff of Adaptation to the greasy, balding lion’s mane of Con Air to the spiky helmet head of Ghost Rider, Nicolas
Cage has really outdone himself with the shoe polish on corn silk do he sports in his new film [...] Read more:Bangkok

Any Given Sunday: Are You Ready for Some Fake Pro Football? 2008-09-04 18:13:20 With the Washington Redskins heading to New Jersey to kickoff this year’s NFL season against the Super Bowl champion New York Giants, I’ve decided to go into the vault for one of the few football films to portray the game in all its violent, cutthroat, egotistical glory. Even though Any GivenSunday

Righteous Kill: De Niro and Pacino Together at Last 2008-09-02 15:43:04 If you disregard a couple scenes in Heat and their separate scenes in The Godfather Part II, Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, two of the most recognized and highly respected actors of our time, have never appeared together in a motion picture. To remedy this injustice, these big screen legends have been brought together [...]

Burn After Reading: Sweaty Secrets 2008-08-21 17:19:38 Even though there might be a few random chuckles to be had in No Country for Old Men, no one would go so far as to call it a comedy. But, for the most part, that’s what the Coen brothers are known for: dark, quirky laugh-out-loud funny movies. Putting aside a few forays into the [...] Read more:Reading

Jurassic Park: Will Michael Crichton be Preserved in Amber? 2008-11-05 19:56:27 With the recent passing of author Michael
Crichton, my thoughts immediately turned to whether or not he’d want to be cloned and brought back to life like the dinosaurs in his most famous novel/film, Jurassic
