The first footage of Steven Spielberg’s highly-anticipated (at least by me?) Lincoln is really just a commercial for the trailer, which drops Thursday followed by a Google+ hangout with the director and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who plays Robert Todd Lincoln. Spoiler alert! RTL takes over the cowl and axe after Honest Abe dies from a vampire bite. The [...]
I’m a bit surprised that a French movie studio is behind a movie about the real life events in Gloucester, Mass. where 17 high school girls got pregnant. It was a crazy story at the time in 2008 because the initial story was that the girls made a pregnancy pact at 16 to all get [...]
It’s been four years since Martin McDonagh’s dark comedy, In Bruges surprised audiences and critics alike. In his latest flick, he’s assembled a murderers row of deadpan comedic talent, including Colin Farrell, Sam Rockwell, Christopher Walken, Woody Harrelson and uh, Tom Waits? Yes, Tom Waits. It also stars Abbie Cornish, Bond Girl Olga Kurylenko, and [...]
Instead of the Russians invading small town America, we get the North Koreans. Instead of Patrick Swayze we get Chris Hemsworth. As for the rest of the Wolverines, it’s a motley who’s who of Josh Hutcherson, Tom Cruise’s son, and a few other recognizable faces. Here’s what’s kind of annoying about this though: the movie [...]
3, 2, 1 … Frankie Go Boom is a terrible name for a movie. It doesn’t quite roll off the tongue, ya know? What it lacks in a good title, however, more than makes up for itself with a stellar cast, including Lizzy Caplan, Chris O’Dowd, Chris Noth, and Charlie Hunnam. The plot is just wacky [...]
Zero Dark Thirty is director Kathryn Bigelow and writer Mark Boal’s fictionalized account of the Navy SEAL Team 6 mission to kill Osama Bin Laden. Members of the GOP have cried foul over the film, claiming that Boal was handed sensitive information by the Obama administration in order to make the movie more accurate and realistic. The [...]
Brad Pitt teams up with director Andrew Dominik once again for an adaptation of George V. Higgins 1974 Boston-set crime novel ‘Cogan’s Trade’. The adaptation is set in a post-Katrina New Orleans instead of Boston, which is a fine change. The trailer itself doesn’t look like anything special, save for the cast, but anyone who has [...]
We just brought you the Skyfall Olympic teaser tv spot, that was short on dialogue and plot, but featured some nifty action shots that we hadn’t seen before. Now, in the first international trailer for the movie, we get plot points galore. From THR: “The Skyfall trailer reveals that M, played by Judi Dench, made the decision to take out [...]
We still have no idea about what the plot entails, but the TV spot that has aired in conjunction with the Olympics is full of action and broad strokes. Plus, that end shot of Bond jumping into the destroyed train like a boss is pretty awesome.
Samsara is the first film by director and cinematographer Ron Fricke (Chronos, Baraka) in nearly 20 years. Similar to his earlier work, it will be completely devoid of dialogue and text, relying solely on compelling visuals shot on 70mm film. During a five year stretch, Fricke shot at 100 locations in 25 countries for ‘Samsara’. “Samsara transports us to [...]
