Clint Eastwood Wants Leonardo DiCaprio to Star Opposite Beyonce in ‘A Star Is Born’ Remake

Posted: June 27, 2011 at 10:52 pm   /   Film, Local, Movie News

In 2003, I was just starting to really get into films.  Appreciating acting more.  Taking notice to particular camera shots.  Really listening to the music.  And MYSTIC RIVER blew me away.  The film just really hit me hard.  Now, eight years later, Clint Eastwood hasn’t directed a bad movie since, in my eyes, so I […]

Eastwood’s Biopic “J. Edgar” Loses Theron, Gains Westwick

Posted: January 11, 2011 at 7:28 am   /   Film, Local, Movie News

I finally caught Hereafter a couple of weeks ago, and I was a little disappointed.  I thought the acting was good, and Eastwood directs a good film.  But I was just a little bored and never really got into any of the characters.  Overall, I love the film’s Eastwood puts out so I have been […]

Posted: December 14, 2010 at 1:25 am   /   Film, Local, Movie News

Let’s take one step at a time and work backwards from the article’s title. Clint Eastwood’s next film will be a J. Edgar Hoover biopic tentatively titled J. Edgar.  No release date is set, but the assumption is that it will be released in 2012.  I am all aboard anything Eastwood does right now.  I […]

Movie Review – Clint Eastwood’s “Hereafter” starring Matt Damon

Posted: October 22, 2010 at 8:41 am   /   Local, Tom O'Keefe Movie Reviews

Serious films about the afterlife are always tricky – answer questions with too great a degree of specificity and you will undoubtedly alienate audience members whose religious beliefs are different. Conversely, if your version of life-after-death is so ecclesiastically ambiguous that it can pass as all things to all people then what’s the point? Herein […]

Hereafter

Posted: October 22, 2010 at 3:27 am   /   Featured, Local, Movie Reviews

Clint Eastwood has proven himself as an excellent director over the years, with several of his films being nominated for and winning Academy Awards. Unfortunately, “Hereafter” does not fall into the same category as Eastwood’s triumphs, and falls short on so many levels. “Hereafter” tells the story of 3 different sets of people, all of […]

Another Take By Zac: Film Review: Hereafter

Posted: October 22, 2010 at 12:01 am   /   Another Take From Zac, Local

Clint Eastwood’s latest bests his last couple efforts but for every thing I like about Hereafter there is almost always something that really grates me the wrong way. The film follows three thread lines of different people that have had a recent connection with death and/or the “hereafter.”  One is a French reporter who has […]

Golden Globe Predictions 2010 – Film

Posted: January 16, 2010 at 3:49 pm   /   Local, Movie News, Opinion

Here we are, a day before the second biggest award show of the movie season. Every year the Hollywood Foreign Press nominate people in the arts of film and television, and every year someone gets angry at the lack of nominations or the fact that the “wrong” person won. I like the Golden Globes because […]

Invictus

Posted: December 11, 2009 at 12:01 am   /   Featured, Local, Movie Reviews

Clint Eastwood’s latest is an unoriginal and uninspired affair, that while holding a fine performance from Morgan Freeman and some rewarding moments, is too flawed in too many areas to really excel. The story revolves around the work of Nelson Mandela from the end of South Africa’s apartheid and through the first year or so […]

Invictus Trailer starring Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman

Posted: October 28, 2009 at 11:26 am   /   Local, Movie News

If you are a Matt Damon fan, these past two days have been like Christmas for you. Two different trailers for two different Matt Damon movies, what isn’t to love about that. I almost feel as if the beginning of this trailer is almost a nod to Morgan Freeman’s work in Shawshank Redemption. The in […]
