Film Review: ‘Phantom Thread’ Starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Lesley Manville, Vicky Krieps
Phantom Thread is the story of a 1950’s dress-maker named Reynolds Woodcock, portrayed brilliantly (as always) by Daniel Day-Lewis. This is Day-Lewis’ second collaboration with director Paul Thomas Anderson (There Will be Blood) and reportedly his final role before retirement. There were rumors of him wanting to retire before he took on this film, but […]

Movie Review: ‘Lincoln’ Starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Tommy Lee Jones, David Strathairn
Lincoln is a President that everyone knows, without really knowing the man himself. We see him on the five dollar bill, but seldom do we ask the question, “why is he on there?” Director Steven Spielberg and “Team of Rivals” author Doris Kearns Goodwin feel that one of the reasons is because of the passing […]

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 […]
Golden Globe Predictions 2010 – Film
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 […]
Nine
Nine is Rob Marshall’s return to musicals and the result is a bit unexpected but full of quality performances and entertaining musical numbers that entertain nearly from start to finish. The film picks up ten days prior to the start date of Guido Contini’s latest and ninth film and the stars, the costumes, the sets […]
Nine – Movie Review
Like 1986’s Little Shop of Horrors and Hairspray, Nine is a movie based on a musical that was based on a movie. Inspired by Federico Fellini’s semi-autobiographical 8 ½, the film follows Italian film director Guido Contini (Daniel Day-Lewis). Guido is a legendary director whose last two films were flops. Production of his eagerly anticipated […]
‘Nine’ Feature HD Trailer
I think I might be a bit of a pessimist when it comes to film going audiences. Which is a bit weird, because I tend to be overly optimistic about many things in my life. It just seems that I can tell with the American movie going audience is going to latch onto something. I […]
