Here's something that has always bugged me. How does the movie Career Opportunities get made after the movie Mannequin ? I mean essentially they are the same movie. Geeky ne'er-do-well lands overnight job in a department store. Said ne'er-do-well somehow gets incredibly hot woman to fall for him. Hilarity ensues What I want to know is how that pitch meeting went... "Ok, I have an idea for a movie....

Aided by a greater competence when it comes to grabbing and resizing web images (a competence I've appropriated here), Peter Martin at Cinematical links to my piece on the DVD box art of Joe Swanberg's Hannah Takes the Stairs and asks: I agree that Hannah Takes the Stairs deserves a wider audience, but I'm not sure the DVD cover will make people want to pick it up and take a chance on renting

When I read that Jason Lee was starring in a film called THICKER, I thought it was a biopic of my ex-girlfriend's thighs. Unfortunately, it's not, because that would have been a horrifying piece of cinema. What THICKER is however, is a remake of the 2005 short film ENFANTS TERRIBLES, a black comedy written and directed by Terry Nemeroff, and starring Peter Facinelli, Leslie Zemeckis, and Christopher...

I’d truly forgotten how fantastic some of the sequences in this one are, having really only seen it once, at the time of its release, and probably in a rather shoddy format. I’m surprised to find it now even better than I remember, and I remembered it as pretty good; out of all the Hannibal [...]

Filed under: Cinematical Seven Even though this isn't about sex, it's about sexiness, so some content might not be suitable for work, or for young/impressionable/anti-sexual readers. There's a vast sea of in-your-face sex on film -- close-up penile shots from the likes of Brown Bunny , real sex in Shortbus , porn penis in Romance -- and those are just the moments that capture the real...

The insatiable quest to forecast and anoint the next next big thing lying just ahead of ahead of the curve has at times yielded....how can I put it.... questionable results ? Life is not always a race, and sometimes it's best to have some perspective with your hyperbole. You'll not only find that that nifty beat from the new Wu-Tang song was pretty darn good in its original state, but also that your...
