I'm pretty sure that John Heder will score a nod for appearing in The Benchwarmers and School for Scoundrels . And the year isn't over for Uwe Boll. In addition to BloodRayne , he could also score a nod for Dungeon Siege (that is, unless whoever's releasing it decides to shift it to January with al...

I'm surprised that no one's mentioned the sudden death of Yankees pitcher Corey Lidle yet. It makes you wonder, if the Yankees had won that series, would this have happened? Sad. Baseball plan would pay $1.5 million in death benefit -- unless Lidle was piloting plane By RONALD BLUM, AP Baseball Wri...

According to his Myspace blog, Kevin Smith is getting a big kick out of this. Iraq Sadr City residents insulted by 'Buddy Jesus' BAGHDAD (AFP) - Iraqi Shiite residents of Baghdad's Sadr City have expressed anger on over a picture of a grinning Jesus they mistook for a Shiite holy figure that appear...

No way that Happy Feet has a snowball's chance in hell at $200 million. It comes out the same weekend as Casino Royale , which is a far more anticipated movie and will kill it on opening weekend. Bond's looking at no less than a $55 million opening, while I think Happy Feet will be lucky to pull a ...

I came across this today. It looks like Gael Garcia Bernal has finally decided to break out of indies and do something a bit more mainstream. Strathairn and Bernal join “Ultimatum” cast Oscar nominee David Strathairn (Good Night, and Good Luck) and Mexican ingénue Gael Garcia Bernal (The Motorcycle...

Tell that to the moviegoers. Hollywood's been releasing way too many of these CG-animated movies lately, and only a few of them are successful (as opposed to a couple of years ago, when they were ALL successful). This year, there've been almost a dozen of these movies released, but only three ( Car...

I have to wonder, given how incredibly weak the holiday season is, if Casino Royale will be first Bond film to gross $250 million domestic (unadjusted for inflation, that is... I'm aware that, counting inflation, many of the Connery/Moore Bonds have blown way past that). In the 11 years since Brosn...

Aww.. that's too bad, but I understand what you mean. I've got a problem playing most console first-person-shooters. The only shooters that haven't given me too much trouble have been Goldeneye: 007 and Halo . Oddly, though, I've never had any trouble with PC shooters. But I can totally identify wi...

Play FFVII. Great stuff and the best game in the series. FFX kind of sucks at times, I agree. I thought the heavy-handed spiritual/environmental messages were a little bizarre, but it was still a pretty interesting game. A little boring, but still pretty interesting. The one thing that irritated me...

Yeah, I've seen some of the screenshots for Twilight Princess and it does look awesome. It almost makes me wish I had a Game Cube. Sadly, I only have a PS2 and PSP (well, I'm not too sad about it, but I would like to play Twilight Princess anyway). I'm more interested in saving up my money for the ...
