Trailer for "Tropic Thunder" Mockumentary Online

Ok, this could get confusing. At least for pea-brains like mine. Dreamworks/Paramount has released a new trailer for Tropic Thunder’s mockumentary, “Rain of Madness,” which talks about what happened during the shooting of the movie within the movie. Got that?
Tropic Thunder opens August 15, 2008, and stars Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Robert […]

80th Annual Academy Awards - Feb. 24, 2008

Jon Stewart makes his second appearance as host of the Oscars. “You’re here!” he says gleefully to the audience, referring to the recently resolved “bitter writer’s strike.”

6:25 ET: George Clooney arrives with girlfriend Sarah Larson. He’s looking dapper with a bow tie, […]

Stardom (2000)

In my hockey days I often wished that a producer would stumble upon me at practice, take a liking to my sweaty, stinky, beet red face and sign me to a modelling contract. Althought that falls into the “not bloody likely” realm for yours truly, that’s precisely what happened to Tina Menzhal, an amateur […]

The Delicate Art of Parking

A disgruntled independent film maker who has amassed thousands of dollars in parking tickets wants to take aim at ‘the man’ and expose the parking enforcement services for what they are: a tax collection agency.
