“You could have used a scantily pic.”

Actress Rose McGowan tells MTV that “I’ve got part of a spaceship built for me!” In other words, she’s the pale, titular character in Robert Rodriguez’s big budget remake of Barbarella and the doubters can eat cake. We’ve known about her attachment to the role made famous by [...]

Grindhouse is one of my favorite movies of 2007 (list hopefully upcoming) but have yet to buy Planet Terror or Death Proof on DVD. Because like most fans, I envisioned the experience as a double header, and don’t want to get screwed with a couple single releases. Well the expected super duper special edition [...]

“Arrive hungry…leave stuffed.”
Eli Roth’s movie trailer for a fake horror movie titled Thanksgiving was one of the most talked about parts of Grindhouse. Even the outspoken crowd of Roth-bashers seemed to like Roth’s hilarious take on the Holiday slasher flicks. Ever since Thanksgiving hit theaters, Roth has been fielding requests from fans for a feature [...]

Ever since we first saw Kill Bill: Volume 1 and 2, we wondered what it would be like to see the whole movie together like Quentin Tarantino had originally intended. A special edition dvd release was promised, but never released. And in the wake of the Grindhouse failure, I only assumed that the studio would [...]

With Sin City 2 in some kind of delayed limbo — some people speculate that the film is stuck in the same place that Captain Jack found himself at the beginning of Pirates 3. So I’m not exactly sure how credible this is, but Frank Miller has told MTV that he is also planning to [...]

After Grindhouse’s big screen bomb, Harvey Weinstein was thinking of splitting the double feature in two. According to JoBlo, The Weinstein Co tested the concept this weekend at a few select movie theaters and were not impressed with the results. I seriously wonder however if the movie studio actually attempted to promote the movies as [...]

I always search for honest comments from people I respect within the industry. Grindhouse’s failure has resulted in a few of my favorite filmmakers to speak out. First was Kevin Smith, who was outraged. Now comes Smokin’ Aces director Joe Carnahan, who writes the following in his blog:
What is wrong with American moviegoers? Is there [...]

Clerks director Kevin Smith had a lot to say about America’s decision to see Wild Hogs over Zodiac on his new podcast (SModcast) a couple weeks back. Now the director is outraged over this weekend’s box office results.
“What’s Costner’s line in J.F.K. again? ‘God, I’m ashamed to be an American today…’” wrote Smith. “Perhaps that’s [...]

Early estimates put the Robert Rodriguez/Quentin Tarantino double feature Grindhouse at around $14 million for it’s opening weekend, far below the $20-$25 million predictions. Last year it was one of the most hyped movies on the internet. It’s a great movie. A cinematic experience. The best reviewed wide release of 2007 thus far. So why [...]
