Dracula 2001 – A Review (blog)

Directors of “Crank” and “Game” On Uncut This Wednesday (Blog)

Dear Frankie (2005) review (blog)
Devout Frankie is one of those rare gems (somehow actually written and filmed) that come along occasionally and restore your trust in motion pictures as an art form. First off it’s just a unrepentant tear-jerker, and by the end of it I’d leaked enough duct juice to...
‘Game’ transforms UNM to Virtual World
Amid the quiet of winter break, avatars in metallic clothes and neon-bright hair step out of a computer screen onto the sky-bridge outside the Thorax bar – Woodward Hall, that is. They are part of “Society,” a simulation game similar to “Second Life” but with real...
On the set of “Game” with Gerard Butler, Amber Valetta, and Efren Ramirez…
So I saw that you guys had the poster for Game up, so I figure I'll share with you some pictures I have from the set. I played a raver in a huge rave/club scene. We just shot this about two days ago... there'll be tons of blood and tons of boobs. 🙂 A few things......

‘Dear Frankie’ made me weep like a little girl (blog)
Anyway, I watched 'Dear Frankie' on DVD yesterday. It's about a 9-year-old deaf boy, Frankie (Jack McElhone), who writes letters to his absent father all the time, but the letters he received from the father are actually make-believe letters written by his mother...
The Game – Set Visit
UGO and a few other select outlets were flown down to New Mexico to visit the set of (depending on who your source is) Game, The Game or The Untitled Gerard Butler Action Pic. I'm sure we'll know by 2009 when the movie comes out. It was nighttime when we arrived at...

Gerard Butler Freakin’ Frenzy (Blog)
I feel like it's been sort of seething below the surface of polite Albuquerque ever since the film Game came to town: Our collective if covert lust for Gerard Butler. I mean it -- I've had countless conversations in the last two months with otherwise sober and sane...
Gerard Butler to Play ‘Wolverine’ Baddie?
Poor Tyler Mane. Sure, he was pretty lame as Sabretooth in the first X-Men, but that doesn't mean he should be passed over in the casting of X-Men Origins: Wolverine. After all, while he may not be a big name actor, he did just star in a successful movie (he was...

Scot Muscles In

Alison Lohman’s got ‘Game’ (Blog)
Last year’s high-adrenaline Jason Statham action flick “Crank” wasn’t exactly “Citizen Kane” (hell, it wasn’t even “Citizen Ruth”), but even the haters have to give debut writer/directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor credit for trying really, really hard. If that...
