Is Johnny Depp A 56 Million Dollar Baby?

Kristina — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 02:44:15 +0000

First and foremost, I have to say: take this with a grain of salt. I’m not 100% sure if this is legit news, but everyone keeps talking about it, and I have to say my piece. It’s being reported all over the place that my future illicit lover Johnny Depp is going to receive a FAT [...]

[Movie Review] BODY OF LIES

Kristina — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 22:49:19 +0000

I’m not a massive fan of DiCaprio, Crowe, or director Ridley Scott, but I must say that I was intrigued by the trailer for Body of Lies. The recent wave of Iraq War/Terror/September 11th movies haven’t done much for me due to their preaching nature. The Kingdom was pretty good, but Redacted makes my stomach [...]

On the 10th of November Paramount DVD are releasing Indiana Jones And The Kingdom of The Crytsal Skull on Region 2 Blu-Ray and DVD and I have just been given four clips from the forthcoming release to share with you. The four clips give us a look at the set design, the stunts and the creatures [...]

[DVD Review (R1)] THE FOOT FIST WAY

Gazz — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 22:14:40 +0000

If I was Danny McBride’s agent I’d be locked in my office, pleasuring myself and wiping the subsequent ‘mess’ up with one hundred dollar bills, whilst looking up at God above and flicking him the “A-Ok” sign. In 2008, McBride has not only secured a substantial role in next year’s big “comedy blockbuster” Land of [...]

GAZZ’S NEWS-ROUND-UP SMORGASBOARDATORIUM APALOOZA-GEDDON!!!

Gazz — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 18:28:23 +0000

AAAAARGGGH… Monday News Overload… On a Tuesday! It all got so overwhelming it made my eye bleed! Every time I sit down to try and write an article, whilst getting a review complete AND watch The Mean Season AND do updates on my book, another piece of pretty awesome news springs up too. So… fuck [...]

Faye Dunaway Likes Throwing Cups Of Piss! She Just Doesn’t Like Being ASKED About It!

Gazz — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 14:09:43 +0000

Thanks to regular visitor and talkback contributor James for giving me the heads up on this - a really entertaining read of a Guardian interview with prima donna and faded talent Faye Dunaway who, as it turns out, REALLY doesn’t like being asked about the “rumour” turned into “fact” by Peter Biskind, that she once [...]

Carrell Prepares To GET SMARTER!!

Gazz — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 13:48:42 +0000

I liked Get Smart enough to not be totally opposed to the idea of it becoming a franchise. I thought it was likeable enough to have legs to branch off and bring us some dispensable fun every few years - but that opinion is utterly dependant on the presence of BOTH Steve Carrell and Alan [...]

[DVD Review (R2)] THE JOHN CARPENTER COLLECTION

Gareth — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 09:41:53 +0000

You know, this is actually quite a hard release to review. Not because I don’t like John Carpenter (he’s a favourite director of at least two of the writers on this site). Not because the movies in this set are bad – far from it! But because, chances are, you already own most of these [...]

[DVD Review (R2)] SUCKER PUNCH

Gareth — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 09:03:10 +0000

I had never heard of Sucker Punch. I didn’t know it was being made, who it starred or that it was about. It certainly wasn’t on my “radar” as a movie I needed to see. In fact, the first time I heard about it was when I received an email off the director, [...]

WATCHMEN Video Journal #7 Online

Gareth — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 08:49:53 +0000

It’s the 6th of the month of October (actually, as I write this it’s the 7th here in the UK but never mind) which must mean that we are due another glimpse behind the scenes of Watchmen, and this time the clip is hosted by Scifi.com and it doesn’t disappoint as it goes behind the [...]
