Here’s an angle I haven’t seen very much. Got a flagging — or in this case, dead — career?.. Well instead of running around showing that you still got it, just come right out and admit it: Enter Pauly Shore. Yeah, remember him? Buhhhhhh-dee? “But I’m all outta Vodka!!” Ring … [Read More]
Before sitting, recall the art of Shutting Up. Okay, lemme express something here: You’ll be able to leave the blasted theatre. I swear. Honest. No kidding: you’ll leave the building. No one is going to keep you here forever despite the fact that you should’ve been locked up in the … [Read More]
Hey there boys and girls … it has just been announced that Shaun of the Dead – the brilliant horror comedy from Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg – will get a wide release through the US and Canada on September 17th. Word is there will be a thousand prints in … [Read More]

I feel that I should preface this post by saying that I’ve never been much of a fan of Hong Kong’s Johnnie To. I should also say that I’m pretty much in the minority with my middling opinion of the man’s work as he’s got a legion of fans world … [Read More]
