Review: ‘Free Fire’ Starring Brie Larson, Cillian Murphy, Armie Hammer, Sam Riley
Someone forgot to turn the safety on. In a time when the topic of gun violence has never been more controversial, it sounds psychotic take a risk on a film that is essentially 90 minutes of angry people shooting at each other. But when you throw in a ’70s-style aesthetic, an amusing ensemble of trigger-happy […]
109: ‘The Man from U.N.C.L.E.’ Starring Henry Cavill, Armie Hammer
The Man From U.N.C.L.E is the movie your grandparents have been waiting for. Maybe even your grandparent’s grandparents. It’s clawed its way out of development Hell and foisted itself upon an unwitting public who has mostly never seen, let alone heard of, the original TV show. So how did it end up being more fun […]
3: ‘The Lone Ranger’ Starring Johnny Depp, Armie Hammer
Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer team up once again with Johnny Depp for The Lone Ranger, in an attempt to capture the magic of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Unfortunately for the $215 million dollar summer blockbuster, lightning didn’t strike twice. The film opened over the five-day holiday weekend with an unimpressive $48.7 […]
6 Comedy Western Movies, In Honor of ‘The Lone Ranger’ Starring Johnny Depp, Armie Hammer
This week The Lone Ranger stampedes (see what I did there) into theaters. Johnny Depp and director Gore Verbinski hope to recapture the magic of their Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. And by “magic” I mean “money”. The film is a middling success. It has glimpses of inspired antics but never really rises above mildly […]
New trailers for “The Lone Ranger”, “Lords of Salem”, “Parker”, and “A Good Day to Die Hard”
I know I’m the comic book guy, but there is more to me than a love of everything comics. I also love the cinema. Here’s a batch of new trailers that really get me excited.
Release Date Shuffle: X-Men, Planet of the Apes, Robopocalypse, Lone Ranger and Thor 2
We already saw a big shift in the last two weeks when Paramount announced a month before release that “GI Joe: Retaliation” would be postponed nine months until March 2013. Check out Blake’s thoughts here. I think that is a special exception though, due to these films being so far from their intended release dates […]
First Look: “The Lone Ranger” Starring Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer
“The Lone Ranger” has been through a lot in recent years. The project has been in the works as far back as March 2002. Then it sat in development hell until Jerry Bruckheimer set it up at Disney in 2007. I would have figured the project would be put on the fast track given how […]
