I resisted HOSTEL but upon finally seeing it, I came away primarily impressed with Eli Roth's undeniable talent as a filmmaker. I was similarly impressed with Rob Zombie's helming of the HALLOWEEN remake, which is grade A work and is presaged by his gonzo work on HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES and THE

Well, i posted a link last week to Howard's interview with NPR.  Here's the link again:  http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=95833828    In it, he said he wasn't aware he was going to be dropped: he just got the news his services were no longer needed. Now we all know that actors

Funny, Chuck gets high praise from all quarters. But your point is well taken. This article is rating stuff based on popularity, not intrinsic worth. That's troubling. Guess it explains, though, how SciFi cancels things like "Dresden Files", yet greenlights junk like "Flash Gordon", and the unde

While I don't question Cheadle's talent to pull it off, the simple fact is that Howard LOOKED like Rhodes. I'm a longtime Iron Man fan and an even bigger fan of War Machine (I'm probably one of the few who liked the alien armor). Howard is a solid actor. He's definitely light years above Ioan G

Sadly, the role that proves Cheadle is better for this than Howard -- is the role nobody likes him in. In "Mission To Mars" you have Cheadle doing technobabble in a space suit in scenes with Gary Sinise and Tim Robbins. If you watch that, then watch "Traitor", you'll see that Cheadle'
