It seems that hit HBO show Entourage is rather prophetic in its satire. Just like Vince Chase’s Medellin project, it seems that reality’s attempts to make a film about the insane exploits of Columbian drug baron/philanthropoligist Pablo Escobar is fraught with difficulties also. Javier Bardem, who would have been perfect for the role, has dropped [...]

You may have noticed Hervé St-Louis kicking up a fuss in our comments section regarding the Edgar Wright Awards — the bone of contention is the fact that the Awards only honor work in ENGLISH. Canada, as you may recall, is a bi-lingual country. St-Louis lets it all hang out in a column here: While [...]

Yet another entry in our stream of coverage from the San Diego Comic Con, this time in the form of a complete transcript of a group interview conducted with Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Jessica Hynes on the US DVD release of their classic show Spaced . I could say more, but in the spirit of the thing I’ll skip to the end. The interview is below the break.

Yes I feel like a horse’s ass today after going after D-Wright yesterday and he made me pay and if that’s what it takes for the Mets to win I’ll wear a big KICK ME sign on my back for the rest of the season. But give some credit to Warlord Jerry for lighting a [...]

If in an alternate universe, Edgar Wright had a brother living in Iceland making his own Spaced feature on the fanboy culture, then Astrópía ( Dorks & Damsels ) is at that film and Gunnar B. Gudmundsson is that brother (no they are not really related). Astrópía is a rush of fantasy cinema that is drawn to parallel the current world of fanboys. It’s a refreshing and highly entertaining comedic spin...

Although Edgar Wright is currently off working on Scott Pilgrim in order to prove his abilities in adapting a comic book (at least in my mind), we all know that he's also been contracted to bring Marvel's Ant-Man to the big screen for years.

Just saw this film last night with Jenn. Let’s not beat around the bush: this is Ben Stiller attempting to appropriate the comedic style of the Simon Pegg/Edgar Wright comedies. It is an attempt to both critique and praise a particular genre within the same film - in this case, the war epic. As such, it [...]
