With nearly every Bond film, Bond girl rumors start to circulate early in development and they usually are just as they seem… false. There’s usually no truth ...
Repo Men is nothing but self-aware. It never loses sight of its B-movie style, it embraces it. The first and last act, especially the climax, actually makes this stand apart from the rest of the high concept films out there. It's bloody, silly, competently made, and, at times, even ambitious....
I talked to The Crazies director Breck Eisner about two weeks ago and he confirmed Flash Gordon would be 3D. I recently got to talk to Eisner again about his latest film an now having more time I got a few new updates on his planned space adventure....
Green Zone isn't entirely what most people are expecting. It's not Jason Bourne four, as people joke, and it's not nonstop action. Is there action? Absolutely, and it's handled masterfully in the way you'd expect from a pro like Greengrass. In the end though, this isn't an action movie. It's sharp, smart, and very effective conspiracy thriller. ...
A film featuring Johnny Depp and having a story full of surreal imagery should have been a home run for Tim Burton. This is the man who made Edward Scissorhands, Big Fish, Sweeney Todd and even Batman. It's a wonder how could someone as visually impressive and original as Burton could deliver something so utterly generic....
Years ago, director Antoine Fuqua showed great promise with the truly excellent Training Day. The past few years he's been unable to live up to that bart set with King Arthur, Tears of the Sun, and the even the fun B-movie Shooter. While most of those films suffered from studio interference, they still didn't serve as the best followups to Training Day. Does Brooklyn's Finest? For the most part, yes....
One of the most anticipated upcoming geek films coming out this year is Edgar Wright's Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. So far everything that's been heard from the test screenings is that it's as awesome as one would expect. Kevin Smith confirmed this. ...
Who doesn't like Kevin Smith? He's a good writer and even a solid director. For years he's continued to deliver a heap of solid work, Clerks and Chasing Amy being his best. Where does Cop Out rank amongst his body of work? Not too high. It may not come close his best work, but this is still an enjoyable parody that pokes fun at 80's cliches and conventions....
George A. Romero's original The Crazies is no classic. In fact, it doesn't even come near a good amount of his work. How does Breck Eisner's remake compare?...
Remember Cape Fear? Where Scorsese bombarded and frightened us with surreal images and a more-than-unsettling atmosphere? Shutter Island represents that sid...
