Movie Review: ‘The Grand Budapest Hotel’ Starring Ralph Fiennes, Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray
Ain’t it grand? Wes Anderson has a toy box. And in this toy box, Anderson has a camera – some might find it frustrating, while others find it magical – that frames almost every scene perfectly symmetrically.

Movie Review: MIDNIGHT IN PARIS Starring Owen Wilson, Rachel McAdams, Marion Cotillard

“Splice” HD Trailer Starring Adrien Brody
I swear that Hollywood is screwing around with me these days. If they aren’t announcing some lame reboot or optioning some lame IP, then they are releasing trailers like this one for Splice, a new thriller starring Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley. The movie looks like it is supposed to a satire of something, but […]
