As some of you frustrated readers know, I’ve never understood the appeal of Twitter, so while I do use it to inform people of new posts here and link the occasional interesting article, I don’t check the @worldofparker account regularly. But, fortunately, I did a couple of weeks ago, where I […] Update: Variety describes the project as “”a series of movie and television projects adapted from Donald E. Westlake’s ‘Parker’ crime fiction series.” Original post (slightly edited) below. ————————— Some interesting news broke about a week ago concerning a new Parker movie project. Here is as much as we know: It will be directed and […] Well, I finally watched it. What took me so long? I’ll get to that. The Score is the fifth of Richard Stark’s Parker novels and universally thought of as one of the series’ very best. I bet some would say that The Score is the best.

Sleep well.
While I’m sure there are some critics who do enjoy it, I really hate writing negative reviews. I’m always aware that even if the book, movie, or album didn’t quite work for me, it represents hundreds if not thousands of hours of hard work for someone, and I don’t think very many people […] …and me! This one’s so hot off the presses, the website isn’t even live. This is Noir Magazine, a new magazine for tablets. I downloaded it for my iPad today, the day of its debut. I just got the iPad a few weeks ago. I won it in a drawing of all things, […] Above is the second trailer. Interesting that Payback is alluded to. Here’s a behind the scenes featurette. It’s mostly just footage from the trailers with some comments by director Taylor Hackford, Jason Statham, and Jennifer Lopez edited in. Nothing terribly insightful, but it’s only two and half minutes long. I got it […] |
