Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Growing up a movie geek I always read the reviews in the local newspaper (as a kid it was the San Jose Mercury News and as a teen The Austin Chronicle or Austin American Statesman) and would always feel a little frustrated when the reviewer obviously didn’t like the type of film they’re reviewing, specifically genre titles, yet they review it anyway without admitting any bias.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. When I got the call from local super publicist Brandy Fons inquiring about this rather unique opportunity how could I say no?
Dolph Lundgren was to tour Texas’ Fort Hood, observe a change of command ceremony as Lt. Gen. Rick Lynch hands over his position to Lt. Gen. Robert Cone and meet the troops, signing copies of his new DTV flick COMMAND PERFORMANCE where he plays a rock and roll drummer that stops terrorists from kidnapping the Russian Premier.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I’m seeing a slight shift in publicity, a shift I hope continues. I hate that everything has become about the opening weekend. All publicity is geared towards maximum exposure in the week leading up to the release of a movie.
But I’m starting to see the desire to push for the second and third weekends now. Paramount offered up JJ Abrams for the second weekend of STAR TREK and now we have Gerard Butler for LAW ABIDING CITIZEN.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with the final entry to the special Halloween run of A Movie A Day!
Since it is Halloween and I have gotten caught up in the festivities of my favorite holiday (thus getting behind on these entries) I figured why not package all three of the remaining AMADs together!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. The final episode of that great series documenting the talented king of geeks Mr. Bob Burns and the amazing Halloween shows he put on back in the '60s and '70s.
This last episode is the longest of the bunch and focuses on the very last show Bob did, which also happens to be the biggest show he ever did... recreating the Howard Hawks THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD down to the smallest detail.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with my thoughts on the Michael Jackson concert-that-never-was film THIS IS IT.
Like most of my generation Michael Jackson was a staple of my childhood. It was a huge deal when a new single hit, when a new record (or tape in my day) was released… It was a badge of honor amongst my friends to own Thriller… yes, even with that totally non-zombiefied MJ cover.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Episodes 1-4 of the fantastic Bob Burns' Hollywood Halloween documentary has been posted. Episode 4 focuses on two particularly great shows, including the Fox sponsored and assisted Alien show that starred none other than Chekov himself in the Dallas role! There's also a story of a particularly geek romance that developed that is as heartwarming as Bob's Halloween shows themselves.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with a little one on one chat I had with John C. Reilly directly after the big Fantastic Fest showing of CIRQUE DU FREAK: THE VAMPIRE’S ASSISTANT. When I say “directly after” I’m not exaggerating. The film showed, the Q&A happened and I walked right out to the hotel, up the stairs and into the conference room. Reilly somehow beat me to the hotel which is a feat considering he was on the stage when I left. I guess that's somehow appropriate considering the movie I was to talk to him about.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I just got off the phone with Gerard Butler who is still out there beating the drum for the really fun LAW ABIDING CITIZEN, pushing for its second weekend.
During the chat he revealed a bit of news about appearing in the Ralph Fiennes directed film version of William Shakespeare’s tragedy Coriolanus. I read online that he also mentioned it this morning during a morning news program appearance, but he didn’t mention who he would play there… So I’m the special one. Eat that, morning news!
