There were two movies last year that I’ve recommended to everyone that would listen; WARRIOR and DRIVE.  They’re both fantastic films and it still pains me that neither of them found any success at the box office (DRIVE made $35 million and WARRIOR made $13 million).  My only hope at this point is that DRIVE [...]

One of the saddest declines in Hollywood has been the recent free-fall of director Garry Marshall.  He was never a visionary director, but he had some great romantic comedies in the form of PRETTY WOMAN and OVERBOARD and even turned out a couple of decent dramas.  But in the last couple of years, he’s brought [...]

It has been a while since Oliver Stone did anything that I was excited about, but with his latest film, SAVAGES, the director seems to be getting back to his edgy roots.  The story of a trio of free-spirited, drug dealing firends that get recruited by a powerful drug cartel and then find themselves stealing [...]

Jennifer Connelly and Greg Kinnear look set to star in the indie drama WRITERS.  In the film, Kinnear will play a novelist who is dealing with the complicated relationship with his ex-wife (Connelly), their teenage son and their collegiate daughter.  The film will be directed by Josh Boone from a script he also wrote, marking [...]

I was just complaining how every time one of the Snow White films does something marketing-wise, the other has to do something within a few hours to one-up them.  Yesterday, MIRROR MIRROR announced they were changing their release date to March 30th and then a couple hours later SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN released a [...]

As is often the case with Blu-ray releases of films that were previously available on DVD (and yes, VHS too), sometimes movies garner a “cult” following that may exceed their original merit. I feel this way about a lot of ‘classics’… but the feeling isn’t limited to watching older movies at home. I admit, I [...]

James McAvoy has established himself as one of our favorites and after big budget turns in WANTED and X-MEN: FIRST CLASS, he’s making his way into mainstream popularity.  Next up for the young Professor Xavier is the action film WELCOME TO THE PUNCH.  In the film, McAvoy plays a London detective that teams up with [...]

The battling between the Snow White films rages on as one can’t seem to make the news without the other swooping in behind it.  Today we got news that MIRROR MIRROR (the lighthearted one with Lily Collins, Armie Hammer and Julia Roberts) was changing its release date to March 30th, two weeks later than originally [...]

Forty-seven was the number of times I picked up the remote control to fast forward through the boring parts until I remembered that I was reviewing this Blu-ray.  Seven was the number of times I was one dish towel away from full frontal nudity.  One hundred six is the number of minutes I’ll never get [...]

Jonah Hill must be riding high after his Oscar nomination for MONEYBALL.  Who would have thought the chubby kid from SUPERBAD would have grown up to star in a movie with Brad Pitt and then actually get nominated for an Academy Award for it?  Crazy stuff.  But let’s not forget how he made a name [...]
