Star Wars fans are lined up in front of the Chinese Theatre in anticipation of the release of "Revenge of the Sith" on May 19th. This alone is quite funny, but it gets funnier. "Revenge of the Sith" won't be playing at the Chinese Theatre. So what's a nerd to
Quentin Tarantino is meeting with New Line Cinema executives to discuss resurrecting the Friday the 13th franchise. Looking back, Friday the 13th's are pretty cheesy, but as a kid I loved the series. He wore a hockey mask, slaughtered victims at an impressive rate and you could always count on
Bill Clinton should shoulder most of the blame. "Pulp Fiction" was released in 1994, smack dab in the middle of slick Willie's first term as President of the United States of America. That gave him six years during which time he could have worked to get passed a law prohibiting
Have you entered my little Oscar prediction contest yet? If you haven't, complete this form. You'll notice the final field is simply titled "Trash Talk". That's sort of a miscellaneous textarea for participants to say whatever they want. Most don't put anything in this space, but some do and here

I saw a commercial tonight for "Are We There Yet?", a new PG movie that's safe enough for the whole family. It stars Ice Cube. Ice Cube?!?!?! WTF? Is that the same Ice Cube I grew up listening to? He was a badass mofo writing songs like "F*ck Tha
I own a few movies on DVD but I never watch them. In fact, of my collection of approximately twenty, the only discs I actually put in the DVD player and view are seasons of The Simpsons. That's it. I enjoy movies, and own some that I totally dig, but
The Golden Globe nominations were announced earlier today. You can view the full list of nominees here. Once again, I'm in the dark. I haven't seen any of the Dramas nominated for best picture and I've only seen one of the Musical Or Comedy nominees. It's nice to see Uma
This time it's going to be different. He won't disappoint me again. I know he'll redeem himself this time and I'll be able to forgive him his past failures. The sensible thing to do would be to abandon this whole thing because I've been burned at least twice before. He's
At some point on Saturday afternoon, Mrs. Doubtfire found its way onto our television. There was Robin Williams, dressed as an elderly woman, taking care of his own kids. This has never sat well with me. Do the writers of Mrs. Doubtfire assume we're all a bunch of dummies? Are
Once again, rumours of a Pulp Fiction prequel are making the rounds. This time, John Travolta lit the spark by telling the press Quentin Tarantino calls him every six months to discuss a movie about the Vega brothers. I loved Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs and I'd love to see
I watched Road Trip on ABC last night. I first saw Road Trip in theatres and thought it was pretty damn funny. I've now seen it several times, but I still enjoy it. I was channel surfing last night, stumbled upon it and decided to see it one more time.
Maybe you've heard the advertisements for Going The Distance on the radio this week. It's a Road Trip-like movie except the exciting destination is the capital of the universe, sweet home Toronto. Specifically, the MuchMusic Video Awards in Toronto. That's right, three dudes from the West Coast graduate and take
I was driving along Bay Street at about 03:30 in the morning on Thursday when I was stopped at Richmond Street West. A movie crew was shooting a scene and there were automobiles from the 1930s driving along Richmond Street while people walked about dressed in outfits from that
Decent movies are so few and far between it's amazing that I've managed to watch three great movies in under a week. I've already written about Spider-Man 2 which I saw on Sunday but I've since seen two more movies I thought were fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed "Thirteen Conversations About
Fresh from seeing a childhood hero on the big screen I've learned another fictional cartoon world I loved is being made into a movie. DreamWorks film company, co-founded by Steven Spielberg, will oversee the live-action movie, scheduled for release in summer 2006. I was a big fan of The Transformers
I get Google News Alerts emailed to me when there's news about my favourite bands. One of the bands I get news about is Pearl Jam. This is how I learned that Stone Gossard turns 38 today. Among the list of celebrities celebrating a birthday today was Frank Whaley who
After a decade's absence from the big screen, Police Academy is returning for an eighth installment. I'm not ashamed to admit that I used to love the Police Academy movies. When you're fourteen years old this is some seriously funny shit. The Steve Guttenberg era was the best when you
Stop the presses! It's only June 30th and already a third movie has snuck into my "must see" pile in 2004. Kill Bill: Volume 2 was the first movie I made an effort to see and Fahrenheit 9/11 was the second. Now, Spider-Man 2 has got my spidey senses
I've just returned from seeing Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11". Michael Moore has an opinion, but he backs up everything he believes with compelling facts. It would be easy to say I loved this documentary because it validated much of what I've already suspected, but that wouldn't be doing this
I am really looking forward to watching Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" in theatres. I have become so particular with the movies I'll pay to see, very few make the cut. The last three movies to join this exclusive club where the two Kill Bills and now this. I just
A Total Film poll of movie critics has attempted to rank the "best movie death" of all time. Here are their top ten.

In what has amounted to the longest intermission in history, I finally caught the conclusion to Kill Bill this afternoon. The stars aligned and I managed to get babysitting for James so Taryn and I could burn one of her free passes to see the movie I've been dying to
This New York Times article claims The Walt Disney Company is blocking its Miramax division from distributing a new documentary by Michael Moore that harshly criticizes President Dubya. The film, "Fahrenheit 911," links Dubya and prominent Saudis - including the family of Osama bin Laden - and criticizes Dubya's actions
It's hard to make a good comedy. That's why there are so few of them out there. One guy who seems to know how to film funny is Christopher Guest. I laughed hysterically at his mockumentary masterpieces "Waiting For Guffman" and "Best in Show" and I just enjoyed his latest
