  TO: President, Universal Pictures FROM: Script Department RE: Slap Shot Remake We received a copy of Peter Steinfeld's (21) first draft for the planned Slap Shot remake. Before we pass it on to the director currently attached to this project (Dean Parisot, Fun With Dick and Jane), we thought we would give you a brief summary of the updated plot, plus some planned casting suggestions. As you might recall, the original movie was set in an aging, depressed steel town in the Iron Belt. Th

• For The Rodeo: Five Best Bovine Attacks In The Movies

  I hate to be the bearer of bad news, rodeo bullriders, but we're rooting against you. Don't take it personally, it's just that when wagering on an average human male vs. 1,500 pounds of pissed off ungulate, we're taking the bull. And wearing that pansy-ass body armor isn't very endearing either. In any event, here are some of the more memorable bovine assaults in cinema history:5. Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) Movie experts agree the "fetchez la vache" sequence is still among cinema's

  Ron NewkirkMaynard James Keenan Maynard Keenan has to be one of the most enigmatic and musically schizophrenic men in rock. A soldier in the U.S. Army in the '80s, Keenan did a four-year tour of duty and then entered civilian life. He met future Tool guitarist Adam Jones in 1988 and one year later, the monolithic prog-metal group was born when the two enlisted drummer Danny Carey and bassist Justin Chancellor. Keenan has had a myriad of side projects in music and film. He blew up modern-rock r

• For April 1: The Five Best "Fool" Movies, No Kidding

  Whether somebody posted those drunken emails you mistakenly sent to the entire company on their MySpace or you merely wasted valuable internet time last night making sure your computer was protected against the "Conficker" virus (*cough*), you may very find yourself the victim of a prank this April Fool's Day. But don't worry, you're far from the only "fool" out there, even in Movieland:5. Fool for Love (1985) Hard as it may be to believe, this Robert Altman-helmed adaptation of a Sam Shepard p

  April 15 each year brings with it the journalistic challenge of covering yet another "last-rush filers" story, or some clever way to say that it's the deadline for getting your return in. (We still wonder if anyone's ever been prosecuted because their return had an April 16 postmark.)The subject of taxes, of course, is mind-numbingly boring, even if it's Star Wars rambling on in its intro about levies on interstellar trade routes. But it's a subject everyone can relate to, so Hollywood sees fit

  It must be hell out there for a Hollywood actor. Not only is every role dissected by fans and eviscerated by critics, but no aspect of your personal life or fashion sense is left unexamined. And you'd better hope you die in as unexciting a manner as possible, lest your demise generate greater notoriety than your actual career.Don't believe me? When I say "Vic Morrow," do you think Cimarron or "helicopter?" Does the name "River Phoenix" bring to mind A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon or the V
