Interview: Mark Waters, director of the upcoming Spiderwick Chronicles

The first time I saw a film by director Mark Waters, it was the dreadful Freddie Prinze Jr. model drama, Head Over Heels, his second feature after The House of Yes, which was by Hollywood standards an independent production and one which I have since enjoyed.
It has been 26 years since 1980's Airplane!, which unleashed a brand of comedy that is still embraced to this day. That film took parody and slapstick to a new level in motion pictures.
Now one of the creative forces behind that landmark film, director David Zucker, returns to silver screen.
Are you one of those movie-goers who is annoyed when a film is too cheeky? You know those kinds of films where you never get caught up with the characters because they all think they are so smart? Well, I had that problem with Lucky Number Slevin, and not to mention I guessed the film's final twist about five minutes in.
In Hollywood things go in cycles. For the longest time, horror was box office poison -- a genre mainstream audiences avoided in droves and was frequented by a small but dedicated group of fans. All that changed when Scream hit screens in 1996, and what's followed is an almost non-stop barrage of horror movies.
Somewhere buried within the mists of steaming hot-tubs, intertwined legs, ravishing love scenes, and razor-sharped tension, Hollywood has misplaced the erotic thriller.
Those slimy, creepy things that go bump in the night are back.
Nathan Fillion (Serenity), Michael Rooker (Cliffhanger), and Elizabeth Banks (The 40-Year Old Virgin) star in the sci-fi horror comedy Slither about a meteorite that crashes in a small town and begins to infect its citizens.
Back in 2002, computer animated films were just starting to take off and we hadn't seen the likes of Finding Nemo and The Incredibles.
Here we are, nearly four months into 2006, and as a movie critic and entertainment writer something has been bugging me: the downright lack of good movies.
It seems like ever since the inception of film, Hollywood has had bank robbers who dream of the perfect bank job â€" a job that goes down like clock-work and that the robber gets away unharmed.
Everything from the 1903 classic Great Train Robbery to 1975's Dog Day Afternoon to 2001's The Score, we have seen plans come and go.
