2008-02-03 00:00:00 by Scott Weinberg in Cinematical
...Rant You may find this hard to believe, but my personal DVD collection is only about 600 discs strong. Compared to some movie geeks I know, 600 is nothing. (Seriously nothing.) As a matter of fact, there are some flicks I love that I refuse to buy on DVD -- because I'm waiting for the good stuff. Back in the day, I held off on The Princess...

Fan Rant: Actors and Their Love of DUIs

2008-02-17 00:00:00 by Monika Bartyzel in Cinematical
...Rant They're a menace to the roads, and I figure they must love getting DUIs since there is a continuing stream of celebrity/actor arrests. (Do they frame their arrest photos and place them next to their awards?) It's gotten so bad that I'm sort of glad that when I visited LA, my friend and I didn't drive around a lot. Playing bumper cars...

Fan Rant: Why M. Night Shyamalan Has Nothing to Apologize for

2008-06-09 00:00:00 by Eugene Novikov in Cinematical
...Rant When it comes to seeing M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening early, the best that Fox publicists can offer me (and other non-daily-newspaper press in Philadelphia) is a 9 pm screening at an inconvenient theater the night before release. I'm going to politely decline, and it's probably just as well. It's become so hip to hate and sneer at...

...Rant It happens to movie fans all the time: You're watching a trailer for a movie that's almost inevitably a mindless piece of crap ... and wait, who was that? Holy moley, is that Bill Murray doing the voice of Garfield ? (Twice?!?!) Jesus, what is Christopher Walken doing in The Country Bears ? And, more recently, holy crap is that Jason Lee...

Fan Rant: The Heath Ledger Video

2008-01-31 00:00:00 by Erik Davis in Cinematical
...Rant Long story short: A two-year-old video featuring Heath Ledger at a party where drugs were being consumed was purchased by Entertainment Tonight for a large sum of money (some are saying $200,000), and the show, as well as The Insider , planned to air the video in an attempt to "understand why Ledger died." Ledger's former PR firm sent...

Fan Rant: After Dark Grabs 4-Day Release Window for 'Frontiere(s)'

2008-02-09 00:00:00 by Scott Weinberg in Cinematical
...Rant A few months back I knocked the After Dark Horrorfest guys for not booking Frontiere(s) as part of their second annual sorta-festival. I quickly received a very cordial response from an AD representative who told me basically precisely this: "I'm emailing in regards to your article about "Frontiere(s)" and Horrorfest. Basically, I just...

2008-02-11 00:00:00 by Scott Weinberg in Cinematical
...Rant If you're anything like me (lord held you), then you just can't resist a movie in which an inordinately large and aggravated animal decides to chew on a bunch of random stupid people. Doesn't matter how many "OMG it's hilarious!" comments I may see on the IMDb boards, nor does it deter me if every genre-friendly film critic stands up and...

Fan Rant: Viggo Mortensen is Nominated, World Fails to Notice

The Article has images
2008-02-25 00:00:00 by Elisabeth Rappe in Cinematical
...Rant In all the post-Oscar celebration and hangovers, I would like us all to pause for a moment and remember Viggo Mortensen Mortensen was nominated for an Oscar this year and few noticed. It was almost as if the world saw it as a pat on the head, a recognition that Aragorn, son of Arathorn, could act without hobbits. "Oh yeah -- that guy....
