I just interviewed Ross Partridge today, whose film, Baghead, won major kudos at Sundance this year. I’ll post that interview in the next day or so, but the reason I mention it here is because Ross mentioned the film The Wackness, which took home an audience award at the recent L.A. Film Festival. […]

I’ve been a big fan of everything Philip Seymour Hoffman has done, including Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead and Charlie Wilson’s War (well, I’ll qualify that by saying he was the highlight of that otherwise bland film). Both Capote and The Savages are sitting here in my must-see stack.

It seems like Disney has broadened its horizons in recent years, adding edgier films like National Treasure: Book of Secrets and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, into the mix.
Now it’s picked up the pitch, “Happy Little Family,” which sounds like it might fall into that edgy category, though it’s hard to say. The […]

Billy Bob Thornton is reuniting with his Astronaut Farmer (love that movie!) filmmakers Mark and Michael Polish for a new titled Manure. Yes, Manure. Sounds like a blast, and Thornton is just the one to do it.
“There are a lot of words to use here, there are a lot of jokes to be had, […]

Has it really been 50 years since the Smurfs came into our lives? I’m not that big on the Smurfs. More of a Scooby-Doo girl.
But yep, it’s true. The little blue gnomes were created in 1958 by Belgian cartoonist Pierre “Peyo” Culliford. They first appeared in a series of Belgium comic strips and […]
