In an interview with MTV, he revealed more details about the oft-mentioned UNIVERSAL SOLDIER 3 project (which may or may not be a theatrical film). He's in it, sorta. He's shooting for 10 days...which won't make for too big a role.

I report the following with a mixture of sadness and pleasure. After years of rumors and suspect IMDB updates, Jean-Claude Van Damme, hot off an honest to goodness fine piece of acting in “JCVD” (check it out if you want to watch the “Bloodsport” star cry and I mean a lot) just told me he’s [...]

DVD Reviews: The 1970s were a great time for conspiracy pics, as evidenced by "The Parallax View," "The Conversation" and "Three Days of the Condor." Add Peter Hyams' "Capricorn One" (1978) to the mix as well, now issued on DVD with full helmer commentary and a 17-minute featurette examining how eroding trust in government fuels even lunatic theories.

While rewatching the 70s thriller CAPRICORN ONE a while back, I marveled that it hadn't been turned into a remake yet. I guess it just required a bit of real-world relevance. Thanks, NASA's Phoenix mission! The 1978 conspiracy flick involved a team of astronauts complicit in a fake Mars landing, and their subsequent attempts to evade government forces before the truth can be exposed. The movie, directed...

End Of Days (1999) Dir: Peter Hyams The devil roams the streets of New York searching for his bride and it's up to an ex-cop to stop him bringing about the end of days. A dark thriller that has the makings of a great film, if it was in someone else's hands. The tone is impressively downbeat and some of the visuals are well handled. Unfortunately the film is a mess of styles and really can't decide...

Well, there's a damn good ripe old age to go out on. The science-fiction author would have been 91 in December. And he had set up shop in Sri Lanka, not exactly the most cozy outpost for a British-born writer,...

“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic,” Arthur C. Clarke wrote some 46 years ago in Profiles of the Future. I really believe that's how he felt about WordStar, just as did I during the 1980s. WordStar was perfection. The format, I believed, would last and last. It didn't, at least at the [...]
