The Brave One Jodie Foster's pool-table (or was it pinball machine?) scene in The Accused was burned into our early middle-school brains, so will that make it harder or easier to watch her get brutalized again in this new movie? At least her character is totally different - this time she's an upscale New Yorker who gets beaten by unknown assailants in Central Park (and the movie is directed by Neil Jordan, of The......

"Grindhouse," the Tarantino-Rodriguez project filmed in Austin, opened nationwide this past weekend. And while the critically-lauded double-bill may well herald the resurgence of campy exploitation flicks, it might also bring us yet another Hollywood celeb. In an interview with News8Austin, Rosario Dawson (Sin City, Kids, A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints), who stars in the Tarantino-directed "Death Proof," professes her love for Central Texas and hints at the possibility of opening up a production......

While we were away for the holidays, Austin's big movie project of 2006 has been making some waves. Dimension Films has unveiled the official website for the Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez collaboration Grindhouse, and the HD trailer is now available at Yahoo! Movies. For those who hadn't heard, both directors filmed in and around Austin throughout 2006 on this B-movie double bill. Rodriguez's "Planet Terror" is a zombie flick, while Tarantino's "Death Proof"......

After months of rumors, rumblings and hubbub, we're finally starting to see some actual footage from the new Robert Rodriguez / Quentin Tarantino collaboration Grindhouse. Last night's Spike TV Scream Awards (hosted by the Girls of Grindhouse: Rosario Dawson, Rose McGowan and Marley Shelton) gave viewers a short sneak peek at the upcoming film, and of course it took less than 24 hours for someone to post that shit to GooTube. This quasi-trailer is our......

Standing before thousands of screaming geeks at this weekend's 2006 San Diego Comic Con International, Quentin Tarantino announced the cast "Death Proof," one-half of a double-feature collaborative project entitled "Grindhouse" that he'll be working on with Austin director Robert Rodriquez. From wiki: A "grindhouse" is an American term for a theater that showed exploitation films; it is also used as an adjective to describe the genre of films that played in such theatres. While just......

The premier of Clerks II is going on right now at the Paramount. The red carpet was rolled out for Kevin Smith and, well, that's it. The director was the only star who made the stroll. "Where's Jason?!?" someone shouted, referring to Jason Mewes, aka "Jay." "He's back out in L.A.," Smith shouted back. We guess if Mewes had too many commitments to attend to, it was foolish to hope for a Rosario Dawson sighting.......

We played hooky on Friday to spend a little over two hours letting Robert Rodriguez, Mickey Rourke and Co. kick our ass in "Sin City." Since we imagine many of you have not seen it, we won't give away too much. We will just say, get your ass to the movie theater and see it. Regardless of your taste in films, we feel you will walk away satisfied. Whether you enjoy or have never......
