Remember how I said I was excited for WONDER WOMAN and how DC might assuage their critically bludgeoned movie loins via the Gal Gadot blockbuster coming in June 2017? Yeah, well, I totally forgot about THE LEGO BATMAN MOVIE due in theaters February 2017. With how popular Will Arnett’s (ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT) Batman character was in THE LEGO MOVIE (2014) and the other voice talent cast (Michael Cera, Zach Galifinakas, Rosario Dawson, Ralph Fiennes, Mariah Carey and Jenny Slate), I have …

WONDER WOMAN, the next movie (June 2017) in the DC Comics cinematic universe, has a new trailer out today, and even though studios still refuse to plop Chris Pine’s eyebrows in the “starring” credits, I will admit wholeheartedly that I dug this trailer loads more than the San Diego Comic-Con teaser back in late July. I’m not 100 percent sure why I like this new trailer better than its predecessor, especially since there’s not that much new footage, but more …
Bradley Cooper is one of the most talented actors working today. Period. He’s was marvelous in SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK, amazing in AMERICAN HUSTLE and 100% hilarious as Rocket the Raccoon in GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY. Now he’s teamed with Clint Eastwood to bring the story of Chris Kyle – from his autobiography, AMERICAN SNIPER – to the big screen. If you remember, Kyle died in February of 2013, shot to death at a gun range by a friend suffer from post …
It makes me said to write the words “THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY – PART I,” because it reminds me too much of writing “THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN – PART I.” Nonetheless, I’d watch Jennifer Lawrence in THE HUNGER GAMES QUADRILOGY whilst being punched in the man parts by Jean-Claude Van Damme a million times before I’d suffer through one more minute of Stephanie Meyer’s cinematic crotch punch. With that said, check out the minute-plus viral video below, where the salty …
You know Lars von Trier. He’s Danish. He’s controversial. He got booted from the 2011 Cannes Film Festival for saying he understood and sympathized with Hitler. He’s the man behind such movies as DANCER IN THE DARK, DOGVILLE, MANDERLAY, as well as the more recent ANTICHRIST and MELANCHOLIA. ANTICHRIST is noteworthy because of some good ol’ fashioned genital mutilation, and MELANCHOLIA is on the radar because, frankly, Spider-Man’s old girlfriend showed her naked parts. Now von Trier is hitting audiences …
I’ve been giddy as a schoolgirl for this summer’s MAN OF STEEL ever since the teaser trailer debuted last summer in front of Christopher Nolan’s THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. It was bittersweet to know THE DARK KNIGHT Trilogy was finished and we’d never see Christian Bale don the cape and cowl again, but the promise of something else spectacular and tantalizing has been wonderful. I know they’re just trailers and high hopes can be easily crushed with some deceptive marketing for a …
When your last two movies are the nauseating THE HAPPENING and the sack-punching THE LAST AIRBENDER, you do not, under any circumstances, use your name in the marketing material for promoting your movie. You keep it tucked away in the small print where nobody will ever know. Such is the case with M. Night Shyamalan and his new movie, AFTER EARTH, starring Will and Jaden Smith, and rightly so. After building some clout with critical and commercial successes such as THE …
I watched, for the first time, Sam Raimi’s 1981 cult classic horror movie, THE EVIL DEAD, on Netflix last month and I wasn’t impressed. I don’t know what all the fuss is about. It’s silly and unspectacular. Fans can clamor about it’s low-budget and doing more with less, but I’m not buying it. Crappy acting and directing is the same whether someone spends $350,000 or $250 million. Frankly, I’m not surprised. With the exception of SPIDER-MAN and SPIDER-MAN 2 (and …
Zero Dark Thirty, in a word, looks awesome. The Hurt Locker, Kathryn Bigelow’s last movie, was, in my opinion, a perfect film. This follow-up, a slice of cinematic heaven detailing the decade-long hunt for Osama bin Laden, the mastermind behind 9/11, is assuredly as good, if not better. I’m saying that right now, having only seen the trailer. I trust Bigelow like I trust Christopher Nolan. Like I trust Pixar. Like I don’t trust George Lucas. This movie is going …
If you’ve seen any of Quentin Tarantino’s movies – Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill (Vol 1 &2) and Inglorious Basterds – then you know when you plant your butt in front of the big screen, you’re in for a methodical celebration of cinema and creativity, punctuated by crisp storytelling and marvelous dialogue. Tarantino is a master, easily one of the greatest working directors today (and probably one of the greatest of all-time), and after tackling the genres of crime, …
