The first item in weird movie news is the announcement of American Gladiators: The Movie . Of course! Ever since last year's revival of the original 80s show on NBC, it was only a matter of time before someone decided to come up with a one-word plot concept like "superheroes" and make a ...

Edward Woodward died today , and while his career included many highlights like playing the main detective guy in the disturbing and insane The Wicker Man and the Ghost of Christmas Present in the George C. Scott version of A Christmas Carol , I'll always remember him for playing McCall ...

Roger Corman , one of the most prolific movie makers ever, got his honorary Oscar yesterday . He's an award winner that seems unconventional for the Academy, but Corman's connections to mainstream Hollywood go deeper than I realized.
You might already know Roger Corman, King of the B's, as ...

There was some news yesterday about a potential prequel to Inglourious Basterds , a rumor spread by my least favorite part of the whole movie, Eli Roth . He says Tarantino has most of a prequel written (probably because it was originally going to be included in the movie) and that there's ...

Lots of exciting stuff on last night's Mad Men season finale , for example: all the main characters banding together to gleefully steal filing cabinets full of proprietary material to start their own upstart rip-off agency. But by the end, it felt like we were right back where we started ...

The Men Who Stare at Goats opens today, and while it has some great cast members (Ewan McGregor, George Clooney, and Jeff Bridges, who all buoy up the Kevin Spacey deadweight) and some funny visual jokes about the woo-woo era of the US military in the 70s, it might not be the greatest ...

Risk , the favorite board game of global domination nerds who think nothing of playing same game for days at a time, is going to be adapted into a movie . I'm hoping it'll be pretty good, with lots of cool, unstoppable characters from all corners of the world strategizing for epic takeover, ...

This year's Halloween Parade was certainly as wild
as ever, but I arrived later than planned, so
I stood around in the big crowded holding pen of costumed folk on 6th Ave until it started raining hard enough for one of my companion's white nylon costume to be compromised. And then ...

The biggest reason that I went to see
(Untitled) is Adam Goldberg . It's promoted as a
satiric look at the avant-garde art world, it got mixed reviews, and it's only playing at the Angelika, one of my least favorite movie theaters, but that Adam Goldberg is so funny and compelling in ...

The Yankees-Phillies World Series starts tonight, and the close geographical proximity of the two teams means emotions are running high along the northeast corridor. With Philly and NYC just a two hour drive apart, New Jersey has become the two teams' shared suburban tangle of fandom. Where ...

You might have seen the ad for the new psychological thriller The Box , which is a retelling of the classic short story and Twilight Zone episode "Button, Button" [ video ] about a mysterious man who offers a desperate family a lot of money if they push a button that will kill someone they ...

Also in the Times is a profile of Frederick Wiseman , the best documentarian a lot of people have never heard of (and MacArthur fellow !) His movies are all about institutions like schools, hospitals, welfare offices, mental institutions, police stations, the Army, and racetracks. Straight ...

The Times had lots of good stuff in the Movies section this weekend.
A profile of Willem Dafoe . You could argue he makes more inexplicable choices in the movies he does makes than just about anyone. He contacted Lars von Trier to ask if he could work with him, which resulted in the ...
