Ask FlickChick: Top 14 Movie Misquotes, the Scream That Will Not Die and More...Question: I don't want to sound like a complete geek, but it bugs me when people misquote famous movie lines like "Luke, I am your father," which just isn't what Darth Vader said.

DVD Tuesday: Subway Nightmares — The Taking of Pelham One Two Three | Ask FlickChick | 9/25/2007
So, Denzel Washington is starring in a remake of The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974) for director Tony Scott, with a new screenplay by David Koepp. Now, Washington and Koepp are very talented and Scott can get a movie made, but among movies in no need of remaking, The Taking of Pelham One Two Three ranks high on the list. So this week's DVD Tuesday is dedicated to the original, in all its grimy glory.How do you steal a New York City subway train? Former movie publicist Morton Freedgood... read more

Send your movie questions to FlickChick.Question: Grindhouse did horribly at the box office — it made a mere $11 million.

Box Office: Grindhouse Can't Slay Family Fare | Today's News: Our Take | 4/9/2007
The Quentin Tarantino-Robert Rodriguez double-bill Grindhouse fell short of expectations in its opening weekend, coming in at No. 4 at the box office with just $11.6 million. The well-reviewed venture's performance is believed to have been hampered by its three-hour running time (which limited the number of showings and intimidated sleep-susceptible fannies) and its "two films for the price of one" pitch, which proved unfamiliar to today's audiences.Topping the box office for a second straight... read more

Kiss Me With Your Best Shot... Nuke Nightmares and Kiss Me Deadly | Ask FlickChick | 1/22/2007
Send your movie questions to FlickChick.This week's DVD Tuesday pick was inspired by the recent limited re-release of a little-known indie movie called Something Wild (1961) — not to be confused with the 1986 Jonathan Demme film of the same name — starring '50s tough guy Ralph Meeker. Watching it, I couldn't help but think of Meeker's greatest role: Mickey Spillane's two-fisted private investigator Mike Hammer, in the flat-out astonishing Kiss Me Deadly (1955).Now, Spillane's name is... read more

CSI Spitfire Takes Center Stage | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 11/10/2005
Perhaps inspired by the Las Vegas setting, the creators of CBS' CSI must never sleep. Rather than resting on their laurels, the makers of the original forensic phenomenon continue to surprise with fresh approaches to the show's storytelling. One of the ways the CSI formula has resisted becoming, well, formulaic is the addition of new faces to the mix. The brash and uncompromising Sophia Curtis, played by Louise Lombard, is one of these emerging characters. In tonight's episode of CSI ... read more

Tarantino Bugged This CSI Star | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 6/16/2005
Usually, when an actor learns that his character is going to be buried and covered with fire ants, he has a few questions: "Buried? Live ants? On my body?" But not CSI's George Eads. When the actor read that his character, Nick Stokes, would be kidnapped by an angry father and buried alive in the show's season finale, Eads says, "I pretty much kept my mouth shut. I gave [guest director] Quentin Tarantino no calls. The producers? No calls. The way the whole season started... I just wasn't ... read more

Quentin Tarantino Takes on CSI | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 5/19/2005
The question isn't why Quentin Tarantino is directing tonight's season ender of CSI (8 pm/ET on CBS). The better question is, what took him so long? The series' dark stories, nifty visuals and twisted dialogue seem a perfect match for the man behind the slick hit movies Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill. But despite requests from producers, this longtime fan of the series never found time to direct an episode until he spent a day hanging out on the set in Las Vegas one weekend in January. That ... read more
