They're remaking The Wolfman:

Director Mark Romanek has been hired to helm The Wolfman, a remake of the classic Universal Studios monster film, with Benicio Del Toro attached to star, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Scott Stuber and Mary Parent are producing, and Del Toro also is on board as a producer with Rick Yorn.

The movie will retain the period of the 1941 original, in which a man returns from the United States to his ancestral home in Victorian-era Great Britain, gets bitten by a werewolf and begins a hairy moonlight existence. Andrew Kevin Walker wrote the screenplay. A fall start is being planned.

Mark Romanek and Andrew Kevin Walker? This sounds promising.

Romanek will make it look good, that's for sure. Still, I'm dubious about it.

They've found a way to keep me from watching a werewolf movie where the crappy scripts of Underworld and Blood & Chocolate failed: cast Benecio Del Toro in the title role.

Woohoo! New movie with Gillian Anderson coming! It's called Straightheads and here's the trailer: [link]

Oooh. Looks interesting. Plus Gillian having HOTT SEX!

You know how really shitty movies can sometimes get better over time? That's not happening with The Phantom Menace. I'm getting more pissed off at George Lucas by the second.

Of course I could blame myself. I'm watching it on HBO on Demand.

I swear, I thought it might be better after a few years.

::checks again::

Nope.

wrod. Sometimes it's a mood thing but not with that one.

No, no, no. Don't. And, for the love of God, don't watch Clones. ::shudder::

watched Alpha Dog earlier. it was a great movie, but the ending killed me. not that i wasn't expecting it since it's a true story and all...

question (a la Dwight Schrute). do all Oscar nominated movies have to be so freaking sad? gah.
