Josh Brolin to Star in ‘Oldboy’ Remake
31, Aug 2011
by Nigel Druitt
He’s been rumored to be up for the role for a while, but now Josh Brolin has officially signed on to star in director Spike Lee‘s remake of Chan-wook Park‘s Korean revenge thriller Oldboy. Having just finished filming Men in Black 3, it looks like Brolin will fit in Oldboy between shooting Gangster Squad for Warner Bros., and Jason Reitman‘s Labor Day, opposite Kate Winslet.
At one time, DreamWorks was looking to pick up the rights to Oldboy, with Steven Spielberg intended to direct Brolin’s Men in Black 3 co-star, Will Smith. Now, Spike Lee is developing the remake from a script by Mark Protosevich (I Am Legend).

In Search of Best Picture
17, Feb 2011by Nigel Druitt
As the Oscar telecast creeps up on us again, it begs the question: How many times has the Academy really gotten this “Best Picture” thing right, anyway?
Think about it. How many controversial decisions are there in the Academy’s history? How many times is a movie other than Best Picture long remembered as the best of the year?

When in Rome - Blu-ray and DVD
It’s always fascinating to me to compare all these Flickchart rankings to see what they say about the Flickchart community. For instance, When in Rome has been ranked less than Mary and Max above despite being much higher profile. This tells me: A. That Flickcharters are awesome as a whole and watch good, interesting movies more than bad ones, B. that there are not a lot of females here, and C. Flickcharting guys have as great taste in girls as they do in movies, and they aren’t forced to go see fluff like this.
