Antichrist
Lars Von Trier’s latest film is among the most disturbing things I have seen put to film. It is hard to describe the things that occur in the film without piquing someone’s interest. No matter how beautifully filmed and acted it is, I can’t imagine anyone wanting to watch this film. If you could sit […]
Walt and El Grupo
There has always been an American fascination with Walt Disney and his creations. However, few people know that Disney along with a hand picked group of animators, film makers, and businessmen were part of the U.S. State Department program, Good Neighbor policy. This documentary is the story about Disney and his group, dubbed ‘El Grupo’, […]
Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant
Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant is the latest in a string of vampire themed movies. The film is adapted from a series of popular novels by Darren Shan. Directed by Paul Weitz who just happens to be the brother of The Twilight Saga: New Moon‘s director Chris Weitz. In this current glut of blood […]
Amelia
Mira Nair’s latest is a dull, bland, and almost completely forgettable effort that while capturing the look, sound, and stories of Amelia Earhart it fails to create any drama, tension, or just about any emotion inside of us over it’s run time. Spoilers ahead if you some how have know grasp on history. Picking up […]
Jim Sturgess and Kirsten Dunst join ‘Upside Down’
I like Jim Sturgess, I think he has some good talent, but I don’t think he has used it to great effect yet. I thought he was great, and his voice was better in Julie Taymor’s Across the Universe. The film received some very mixed reviews, probably more on the negative side. I just thought […]
Paranormal Activity
So often films are hyped up to a level where they can no longer function on their own as a film. You have one group who is expecting “the scariest film ever”, and they go onto hate it because expectations for the film were so high. Then you have the other group who either can […]
The Weather Channel Starts Airing Weather Movies
I guess having weather related news just wasn’t enough for The Weather Channel. Starting October 30th, the channel will start airing weather themed movies. The first of which is Wolfgang Petersen’s The Perfect Storm. I’m not really sure if this is a good move for the channel. Isn’t the main objective of a channel like […]
Nickelodeon buys rights to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Remember a few months ago when we told you a live action TMNT movie was going to be happening? It seems that it is one step closer today. Nickelodeon purchased the rights to TMNT for $60 million. Yeah, that is a lot of scratch, and to get their return on their investment you can bet […]
New Wolfman Remake Trailer
Both trailers for this film so far have been fantastic. It wasn’t a project I was that interested in when I heard it go into pre-production. It just goes to show why you never write anything completely off until you see what the production is capable of. What I can figure out from the trailer […]
