It is seven-thirty on a Monday night. I had paid seventeen dollars, bought the over-priced diet coke and popcorn without grousing, and sat myself down in the theatre, jamming the 3-D glasses down hard on my wide-nose and over my other set of actual practical (though still capable of enabling me to view the world [...]

I keep forgetting The Thin Man is getting a reboot. This is likely because Rob Marshall is involved and he is historically the Worst. But it is happening. Which means we’re getting a reboot of the long running film series where Myrna Loy and William Powell got blitzed on cocktails and solved crimes with their [...]

The more I hear about Dark Shadows the more I want to see it. Even though I mentioned it to my mother in passing and she snorted and said, “That show? It was so stupid. You couldn’t even see anything and Barnabas wasn’t that hot.” This is the same woman who summed up the original [...]

Katie Dippold, the writer behind the most excellent and moderately violent episode of Parks and Recreation where Adam Scott punches a dude, has just sold female buddy cop film. Normally I shy away from covering script sales and other super industry entertainment news because so little of it actually reaches the production stage and becomes a [...]

And it’s a question that Hollywood is constantly answering as they create and destroy film properties. In Hollywood women cannot carry films [...]

Like it’s got to be like a porno only instead of people grinding against each other in poorly lit locales there would be really amazing action sequences using a variety of styles. [...]

When I was 12 the family went to the Yucatan peninsula to do some snorkeling, imbibe many delicious cokes and virgin daiquiris, learn the Macarena a year before the rest fo America and poke around old ruins. It was an absolute delight and my brother fell in love with a 30-something British woman on holiday [...]

Jessica Brown Findlay isn’t content to just be that bad ass class crossing feminist on Downton Abbey. She also has to do things like play a masturbating, drug abusing prude on Misfits who ends up murdering a main character. And now she’s been cast as the sickly lead in Winter’s Tale. According to my good [...]
