We were pretty damned excited when the Calvin and Hobbes Stamp was announced, and even more when the Complete Calvin and Hobbes three book boxset came out. Which makes us a prime audience for this documentary. Titled Dear Mr. Watterson, the trailer takes a deep look into the cultural impact of what we think is […]

Robocop. The remake. Need we say more? Arguably Paul Verhoeven’s best film, and one of the best sci-fi action films of the 80s (the finest decade for the stuff), gets the reboot. It will be tough to live up to the original, but what the fuck can you say about a modernized ED209?! Bring it […]

We posted the first teaser trailer for The Counselor back in June — the upcoming thriller written by the peerless Cormac McCarthy (he of The Road and No Country For Old Men) and directed by the occasionally great but spotty Ridley Scott. The Counselor is notable as it’s McCarthy’s first spec screenplay, which means he wrote […]

Since it’s Zach Snyder behind this it’s sure to look mighty pretty, just like the first 300. Problem with Snyder is when he uses source materials — as in 300 and Watchmen — the guy is pretty much unstoppable.

Assembling another Ocean’s Eleven-level ensemble cast — Matt Damon, Bill Murray, Cate Blanchett and the always awesome John Goodman — Clooney tells the true story of a most unlikely motley platoon of scientists, […]

Any day that starts off with a trailer for a new Spike Jonze flick can’t be all bad. The film, Her, is Jonze’s first foray into sci-fi, but seeing as his movies are always pretty cerebral it seems pretty in sync with his body of work. In the movie Joaquin Phoenix stars as Theodore Twombly, […]

Seeing as Keanu hasn’t made anything decent since Devil’s Advocate, it’s kind of a surprise to see just how watchable his latest film looks. 47 Ronin tells the tale of a somewhat Akira Kursawa boilerplate conflated with a Zach Snyder masturbation fantasy. The Seven Samurai aping film also stars Oscar winner Rinko Kikuchi and that […]

As The Guardian reports, director Steve Loveridge has just quit his long ongoing documentary about M.I.A. due to funding problems— enough to prompt the Sri Lankan/London rabblerouser to suggest a Kickstarter to keep the project going. Yesterday, the erstwhile director resorted to his own Tumblr page to release a teaser for the movie, instructing viewers […]
