MIKE GOLD: The kids ARE alright
There’s an ad campaign on radio right now demanding that all movies that show people smoking cigarettes be handed an R rating. This is based upon the perception that despite parents’ best and most consistent efforts, kids who see somebody smoking a cigarette in a motion picture will turn into hopeless addicts. This is amusing,…
On the Wavelength of ‘The Signal’, by Michael H. Price
The dramatis personae roster for a soon-to-open, three-author film called The Signal lists a multitude of roles identified only as “random bodies,” “struggling people,” “deranged people” and so forth. If the casting, as such, suggests chaos, then such must be precisely the intent. From a premise of frenzied malevolence, writer-directors David Bruckner, Jacob Gentry…

Bowie: Stardust, Rayguns, and Moonage Daydreams by Michael Allred, Steve Horton, and Laura Allred

I didn’t care as much for Cheadle over Howard, but he did a fair job. Mutual agreement on the most annoying thing in it for comic fans – Justin Hammer as a total wimp Tony Stark-wannabe. And I have to agree with Stark on Johannson, even undercover – “I want one.”
