Here is a quick roundup of all of the movie-related madness from yesterday’s Super Bowl. Fast Six (is going to be amazing). The Lone Ranger The Great and Powerful Oz Iron Man 3 Star Trek Into Darkness World War Z. Just finally started reading the book this week. Not film trailers, but the next...

While millions of people saw Bond this weekend, I had an odd little experience of being in an almost empty theater on a Saturday while finally seeing Cloud Atlas. I usually like to see movies during the day to avoid big crowds, but I had figured, being a Saturday, it would be packed and...

I woke up with a pretty bad sore throat this morning, so just a quick bit before I go back to bed. I must ask: HOW THE HELL DID THIS TAKE A YEAR AND HALF TO BE FOUND? Grantland came up with a link to the full original Karate Kid, shot on video tape with its...

If you know me (and if you do, I’m terribly, terribly sorry) or have been following my blogs for the few years I’ve been doing them at OW (again, terribly, terribly sorry), then you know I’m a big fan of screenwriters and scripts and anything scripty. Yes, it’s a passion of mine – I...
