    Review by Bob Ignizio At this point, the cast, budget, and level of spectacle in this series have all grown so much that FAST & FURIOUS 6 resembles a cross between Steven Soderbergh's OCEANSseries and the James Bond franchise at its most excessive more than it does the modest little action film about car thieves and an undercover cop trying to bring them down that kicked things off back in 2001. But you know what? That's ok. This is one blockbuster franchise where “bigger and better” aren't necessarily dirty words.Picking up where FAST FIVEleft off, former cop turned outlaw Brian…

    Before he was an Oscar-nominated star of The Silver Linings Playbook, Bradley Cooper was one of Hollywood's go-to guys for the sort of rakishly smarmy character that every truly great R-rated comedy really needs -- comedies like, say, The Hangover, which shifted Cooper's career into high gear in 2009. This week, as the Hangover trilogy prepares for its presumably Jeong-filled conclusion, we're taking a moment to look back at some of the critical highlights from his filmography -- and given that he only made his cinematic debut a little over 10 years ago, those highlights are more numerous…

  • 10 Movies to Watch After You’ve Seen ‘Fast & Furious 6′

    Christopher Campbell
    25 May 2013 | 4:30 pm
    One of the things I love about the latest Fast and Furious movie (whatever it’s called, Fast & Furious 6, Furious 6 or my own title, “Planes, Tanks and Automobiles”) is its casting. Not only is the ensemble made up mostly of hyphenate professionals who weren’t originally actors (including a wrestler, a bodybuilder, a former Miss Israel, a couple music artists, a couple martial artists), but a few of them are rather fresh faces to film, new to the franchise and surely on the rise in their movie careers. As much as I look forward to seeing what each does next,…

  • Fund These Films: New Features From Herschell Gordon Lewis and Roger Corman

    25 May 2013 | 11:00 am
    Two genre film legends are involved in new projects trying to raise money via Indiegogo, the major crowdfunding site that isn’t Kickstarter. Rather than pick only one of them and then wait a week to maybe write up the other, I decided to throw them together. Besides, those of you who are interested in one are likely interested in the other, too. And when dealing with low-budget masters like Herschell Gordon Lewis and Roger Corman, it’s appropriate to be efficient. Lewis’s project is called Zombificador, and it’s an anthology featuring five connected stories involving…

  • ‘The Act of Killing’ Trailer May Change the Way You Think About Onscreen Death

    Nathan Adams
    24 May 2013 | 5:00 pm
    At the heart of Joshua Oppenheimer’s new documentary, The Act of Killing, is an interesting experiment. The general conceit is that he’s contacting mass murderers who are living in a culture that celebrates rather than vilifies their crimes against humanity, and he’s challenging them to film reenactments of the murders they’ve carried out in their real lives, but in the dramatic film genre of their choice. As you can see in the new trailer for the doc, some of their short films end up looking like crime films, some experimental art films, and some gaudy Bollywood musicals, but the tie…

As sad as everyone is over Jon Stewart taking a 12 week hiatus from The Daily Show, the silver lining in the story is that he’s taking the time off to try his hand at directing movies, so at least we’ll get to see what a Jon Stewart-directed movie looks like. So far what we know is that it…

    Today "Fast & Furious 6" hits theaters. Meanwhile, "Fast & Furious 7" already has a release date. So is it safe to assume that more movies are in the works in the "Fast & Furious" franchise? It's not much of a stretch, if Vin Diesel is to be believed. "I don't want to go too far ahead. I found myself talking about '8' yesterday and I had to stop myself," Diesel told MTV News, adding, "I will say that '7' is a reset." Paul Walker piped up, "His ability to manifest stuff is like nobody else in the business, I'm going to tell you, and I've been a part of that for 10 plus years.

"He's entering the world in this kind pantheon of chaos in a certain way," Jeong explained to MTV News. "When I think of a 'Hangover' movie, I think of 'loving chaos.'

    23 May 2013 | 2:49 pm
    They Live by Night is a weirdly unsentimental sort of romance, as escaped convict Bowie and sullen teenager Keechie come together first out of happenstance and then almost out of defiance, developing an unbreakable bond forged in adversity and mutual awkwardness. That they’re on the run from the law seems almost secondary at times, since these are the kind of people who will always be on the run from something, who will never quite be comfortable in their own skin or as members of mainstream society.

  • In a World…

    23 May 2013 | 8:35 am
    In a World… is refreshing in its willingness to spotlight a forgotten corner of the movie industry, and it gives viewers reason to laugh and to think during its not-overlong stay. It suggests a solid future for Lake Bell as a filmmaker and actor, and it wrapped IFFB on a joyful note.

  • The Act of Killing

    Victoria Large
    22 May 2013 | 8:12 am
    The Act of Killing is a film about genocide. And it is so surreal, and so disconcerting that one actually searches for reassurance that it’s okay to watch, okay to have watched. The film has played established festivals. It’s been authorized. And yet its audience was desperate to exit the theater, and with good reason.

    Berberian Sound Studio tells the story of Gilderoy, a meek British sound engineer who takes a job working on a gory giallo film in 1970s Italy. Aside from a snazzy title sequence with a great Goblin-style score, we never see the feature that Gilderoy’s working on. Instead, we hear it. We witness Gilderoy slicing up vegetables to simulate the sound of the viscera being spilled on screen, and eventually we begin to wonder if the work might be getting to him.

    25 May 2013 | 8:26 am
    A nugget of comic book news for fans to chew on this holiday weekend. To promote the upcoming release of his new Shakespeare film Much Ado About Nothing, writer/director Joss Whedon appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon this Friday evening and ended up chatting a bit about The Avengers 2. While they're still in the middle of early pre-production and casting on the Marvel Studios superhero sequel, Whedon did confirm that Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver will be new characters added to the next one. Not a spoiler, just a confirmation. He also briefly explains why he wanted to add these two to…

  • Sony Classics Grabs Jarmusch's Vampire Film 'Only Lovers Left Alive'

    Alex Billington
    25 May 2013 | 7:25 am
    One of the very last films to premiere late in the Cannes Film Festival, wrapping up this weekend, is Jim Jarmusch's new film - Only Lovers Left Alive, starring Tom Hiddleston, Tilda Swinton, John Hurt and Mia Wasikowska as long-haired hipsterish vampires living in Detroit. Not long after the film showed to a theater full of press, Sony Pictures Classics released a press release announcing their acquisition of the film for North American release. It's a smart move and fast buy, likely pre-arranged, and perfectly timed with the film's unveiling, which received quite a bit of positive buzz.

    Hot on the heels of a new poster for this summer's explosive action thriller White House Down, which features Channing Tatum in white tanktop like a certain action hero played by Bruce Willis, a cool new featurette goes behind the scenes with director Roland Emmerich. This time around, the filmmaker says it's the first time he doesn't just completely destroy Washington D.C. in one fell swoop, but rather tears it down bit by bit. So I guess that's a little bit better. There's some interview bits with the cast, including one of our favorites, Jason Clarke, and tons of the crew members. Plus,…

    Isn't this just adorable? I love a good movie-themed marriage or prom proposal. One of our regular readers, Mike Eisenberg, a creative director at up-and-coming film company Tall Tale Productions, just proposed to his fiance Kailey, a lead producer at the same company. The way he proposed was by taking her to their local cinema and having them print up a special ticket on their own ticket stock that said "Will You Marry Me?" as the title and info instead of an actual movie title. Aww. He posted a few photos online and I asked his permission to repost them, as a bit of charming cinematic…

  • Cannes Embraces Jim Jarmusch Vampire Film ‘Only Lovers Left Alive,’ Sony Classics Will Distribute

    Russ Fischer
    24 May 2013 | 7:12 pm
    Nothing made me happier today than to hear enthusiastic responses to Jim Jarmusch‘s rock and roll vampire film, Only Lovers Left Alive. The film stars Tom Hiddleston and Tilda Swinton as vampires who have spent centuries together. We’ve got some clips, images and more info here, but frankly I want to know as little about further details as possible, at least until there’s a chance to see the film in the US. That chance might not be far off, as the reception at Cannes was capped off by Sony Pictures Classics’ purchase of the US distribution rights. The company…

  • ‘Fast & Furious 6′ – What Did You Think?

    Russ Fischer
    24 May 2013 | 5:00 pm
    Cast your mind back to the release of 2 Fast 2 Furious, a film that was derided from nearly all corners, and then look at this week’s release of Fast & Furious 6. It took a decade, but Universal’s car-racing franchise has evolved into “event” status. Whether you like the films or not, there’s no arguing that under the stewardship of Justin Lin, who took over as director with the third movie, this series of films has exploded as a fan favorite. Lin knows how to manage action, and he’s had a long-term plan to consistently up the ante on that front. Much…

  • ‘The Hangover Part III’ Review: Swerving From Comedy Into Madness

    Russ Fischer
    24 May 2013 | 4:00 pm
    The Hangover Part III isn’t much of a comedy. It wants to be funny (I think) but there are stretches without even an attempt at a joke. It’s closer to a hallucinogenic drama, decorated occasionally with an bloom of laughter. There are wild moments, but compared to the first two movies this one pushes the needle towards a different form of “outrageous.” (The most conventionally extreme jokes come when a mid-credits stinger scene goes straight for what viewers of the second film jeered: a flat-out reprise of the scenario from the original film.) The focus this time is…

  • ‘Fast and Furious 6′ Review: The ‘Fast and Furious’ Movie Fans Never Imagined Possible

    “All roads lead to this.” That’s the tagline for Fast and Furious 6 and it’s appropriate on several different levels. The film is the final series entry from director Justin Lin, who picked up a fledgling franchise and carried it into the blockbuster realm. It also marks the culmination of a story that began at the end of Tokyo Drift, when a cameo from Vin Diesel signaled the shift from a set of loosely connected films to a tightly intertwined set of stories and characters. Finally, Fast and Furious 6 marks the total obliteration of any semblance of reality or logic in…

    Vithaya Pansringarm, Kristin Scott Thomas, Nicolas Winding Refn and Ratha Po-ngam at the daytime photocall for Only God Forgives in Cannes. The blood-spattered Bangkok-set crime drama Only God Forgives premiered to boos and mixed reviews in competition at the Cannes Film Festival on Wednesday.

Directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, Only God Forgives features his Drive star Ryan Gosling in the lead role. However, Gosling didn't turn up at the premiere, and sent his regrets to festival…

According to the movie's Facebook page, it'll get a limited run at Paragon Cineplex and Esplanade Cineplex Ratchada in Bangkok from June 24 to July 3. A pet project of Pen-ek's, Paradoxocracy was cleared by censors early in the year and was set for release in February.

    According to a story in The Nation today, the horror-comedy Pee Mak Phra Khanong has earned 556 million baht, surpassing the previous Thai box-office record holder, MC Chatrichalerm Yukol's 2001 royal epic Suriyothai. The new record can be attributed to increases in ticket prices over the years – nearly double since 2001 – as well as the opening of more and more mall multiplexes across the Kingdom. What's surprising is that a mega-hit to beat Suriyothai didn't happen sooner. Opening on March 28, GTH's monster is still in cinemas. As a "thank you" to fans, the studio has a promotion going…

    25 May 2013 | 12:30 pm
    While heralded by a dedicated group of cinephiles in the U.S. (as well as most critics in France), director James Gray has always been more talked-about for his sure hand with actors and drama than for his visual style. Not that he hasn't shown before that he has more sense of mis-en-scene than many celebrated stylists (the rain-soaked car chase in We Own the Night comes to mind), but, perhaps because he's never been as showy as say, Martin Scorsese, or found it necessary to maintain a "signature" visual style from film to film, he's never been lifted to the mainstream upper-echelon of…

  • Cannes 2013 Review: The Agony, Ecstasy of Masked Wrestling Gets Film Noir Treatment In OUR HEROES ARE DEAD TONIGHT

    25 May 2013 | 11:00 am
    Back in 1960's France, masked wrestling was not a kitsch, novelty sport with a cult following -- it was serious business. According to the accepted narrative, it was not only a spectacle of brutality, but a powerful assertion of good triumphing over evil. In each match, a white-masked wrestler fought it out with a black-masked one, and ultimately emerged victorious. I don't think I need to elaborate on the symbolism here. And so, using this profession, with clear-cut versions of good and bad, as a backdrop for a film-noir, a genre which thrives on blurring the lines between the two opposing…

I don’t really know why, because it just isn’t like me, but I was always a fan of Who Do You Think You Are? I don’t know that the show’s title makes a lot of sense, but the general idea of digging into one’s roots is fun, and letting people take the trip with those they already know from television and film puts just that much spin on things. When the series started you had to wonder…

Read the words aloud – or silently while moving your lips the way Matthew McConaughey does – and an Eternal Evil is unleashed on a remote cabin where the cellar leads to Hell – or the Charlie Sheen DVD archive, in the unlikely event of a difference.

Abrams-directed sequel took in $70.2 million for the three-day frame; add in its grosses from Wednesday night and all-day Thursday, and the movie has to-date earned $83.7 million. In comparison, 2009's Star Trek grossed $75.2 million for the weekend, and $86.7 million through its first four-and-a-half days.Wh...

  • Forecast: 'Star Trek' Sequel Targets $100 Million Four-Day Start

    15 May 2013 | 5:35 pm
    Saturday AM Update: Star Trek Into Darkness added $22 million on Friday for a two-day total of $35.5 million. That Friday figure is a bit lower than 2009's Star Trek ($26.9 million), and it appears that four years of anticipation and help from 3D ticket prices isn't really giving Into Darkness much of a boost. Paramount is projecting $83.5 million for the four-day opening, though the comparables are all over the place and it could very easily wind up diverging significantly from that figure...

  • 'Gatsby' Great, But 'Iron Man' Leads Again

    12 May 2013 | 12:52 pm
    Thanks to a vibrant marketing effort and a complete lack of competition for female audiences, The Great Gatsby opened to an excellent $50.1 million over Mother's Day weekend. However, that wasn't enough to claim first place from Iron Man 3, which followed up its record-breaking debut with another very strong outing. Even with this impressive one-two punch, overall box office was still down a bit from the same weekend last year when The Avengers scored a second weekend record with over $103 ...

  • Forecast: 'Gatsby' Poised for 'Great' Second Place Opening

    9 May 2013 | 4:46 pm
    Saturday AM Update: The Great Gatsby opened to an excellent $19.4 million on Friday, which puts the movie on pace for at least $50 million for the weekend. Iron Man 3 still took first place, though, with $19.8 million, which is off a rough 71 percent from last Friday. In comparison, The Avengers only fell 64 percent at the same point. Finally, Tyler Perry Presents Peeples bombed with $1.19 million, and is on pace for just over $3 million for the weekend.Friday AM Update: The Great Gatsby ea...

  • 'Iron Man 3' Takes Off with Second-Highest Opening Ever

    5 May 2013 | 12:57 pm
    Kicking off the Summer movie season this weekend, Iron Man 3 lived up to sky-high expectations with $174.1 million haul. That ranks second all-time behind last year's The Avengers ($207.4 million), and is way up on the previous Iron Man outings. The movie also continues to do phenomenal business overseas, and is on its way to earning well over $1 billion worldwide.Iron Man 3's $174.1 million debut is a huge leap over Iron Man 2's $128.1 million. That's a remarkable achievement given the dod...

    An early favorite at Cannes, the martial arts movie of sorts bears the stamp of a director who has been on the side of China's have-nots.CANNES, France — "A Touch of Sin," an early critical favorite among the films in the official competition at the Cannes Film Festival this year, has been widely greeted as signifying a new direction for the Chinese filmmaker Jia Zhangke. The claim is only partly true. A martial arts movie of sorts, this is the first genre picture by Jia, 43, known for such contemplative dramas and documentaries as "Still Life" (2006) and "24 City" (2008), which reveal…

    Laura Aguirre
    24 May 2013 | 4:00 pm
    Ever since the world got a taste of David Lowery‘s Ain’t Them Bodies Saints, he’s become a director to watch. Many have compared his debut feature to Terrence Malick‘s work, and he’s even landed a writing job at Disney. IFC is releasing his film in August, so it was about time that we got an official trailer, which you can see below. Also, some wonderful human being decided to put together a Supercut of 18 running gags in Arrested Development. We also have a poster for Brad Pitt‘s World War Z, and photos for Only Lovers Left Alive. All that and more below.

    Earlier this month, we reported to you that Mission: Impossible 5 not only has an official writer (Iron Man III co-writer Drew Pearce), but it was set to begin filming at the end of 2013, after Tom Cruise wrapped shooting on the film version of The Man From U.N.C.L.E.  Well, Mission: Impossible 5 might get a slightly earlier start, as Cruise has now quit The Man From U.N.C.L.E. Why?  Apparently, Cruise ditched the remake of the classic television show to focus on his other cinematic version of an old television show—the Mission: Impossible franchise.  Cruise is apparently set to focus on…

I don’t know how to break it to you, guys, but it seems that your organization hasn’t done such a good job.

    April is Autism Awareness Month (among other things.) Autism is a good example of why awareness is very important. In the fifties, it was believed that lack of motherly love caused autism; they even gave it a name ‘Refrigerator Mother Theory’ - and you know the word ‘Theory’ makes it official. So parents of autistic kids not only had to deal with the difficulties of raising an uncommunicative child whose needs they did not fully understand, they also had to deal with the stigma of being conceived as emotionless bad parents. Knowledge about this disorder evolved over time, but not…

    The summer movie frenzy continues with the release of new trailers for "The Lone Ranger" and "Man of Steel."  The movie line up this summer will be sure to keep a lot of people busy (and spending lots of money) at the theater. The new trailer for "The Lone Ranger" shows us more action and a few more quips from Johnny Depp who plays Tonto in the film.  With each trailer, it looks more and more like star Armie Hammer will have the chops to carry this film without needing Depp to take the reins.  Or at least we hope so.  "The Lone…

    It looks like the Bond franchise may be courting Christopher Nolan to direct the next Bond film.  The Daily Mail claims that talks have begun between Nolan's representatives and the Bond franchise.  While nothing is certain, we do know that Sam Mendes will not be directing the next film leaving the spot open.  We'd love to see Nolan's approach to the iconic James Bond.  We'd expect it to be nothing short of spectacular. In the meantime, Nolan is working on his latest project "Interstellar" staring Jessica Chastain, Anne Hathaway, Matthew…

    Breaking up is hard to do—but is there a way to do it right? When a couple that has been dating for two and a half years hears the news that their friends who have been dating for six months have made the leap to engagement, questions often arise: “What’s wrong with us? If they’re ready, why aren’t we?” Many couples conclude that the reason they’re not ready is that perhaps the relationship isn’t right, so they break it off. Whatever the reason behind your breakup, what does a healthy break-up look like? How can you do it with integrity? And how can you respond when the person…

  • Review: Star Trek Into Darkness

    Dave Taylor
    16 May 2013 | 11:00 pm
    The Star Trek TV show was an important step in the evolution of science fiction, a post-Cold War series that offered a hopeful future, a future where race, creed, religion and gender were irrelevant and that even aliens from other planets were accepted as equals. The TV show spawned additional series, along with ten feature films, but things had become rather grim and the campy humor and brash personalities of the Star Trek universe had become tired cliches held together with duct tape and old tropes. That's why in 2009 when wunderkund director J.J.Abrams released the "reboot" film Star Trek,…

  • Review: The Great Gatsby

    Dave Taylor
    9 May 2013 | 11:00 pm
    In a sea of bland lookalike films, the brash, electric new production of F. Scott Fitzgerald's landmark book The Great Gatsby is an art deco dream of the 1920s, fueled by too much gin and too many sequins. It is an astonishing film, as much a reminder of the magic of cinema as it is an ultimately tragic love story. The film follows young writer Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire) during the passion and heat-fueled summer of 1922. He's rented a small cottage adjacent to the glorious mansion of the mysterious but popular Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio). Gatsby plays host to extravagant parties every…

    6 May 2013 | 5:21 am
    After the narrative train wreck that was Iron Man 2, I was curious where the story would take us with inventor Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr) in the Marvel universe. Last time he was on screen was the terrific The Avengers, where his sarcasm and narcissism was balanced by having other characters share the screen, but in Iron Man 3, it's all about Tony. Or is it? Turns out that when James "Rhodie" Rhodes (Don Cheadle) donned the Iron Man suit on behalf of the US military in Iron Man 2, it was a harbinger of a big, albeit inevitable story twist, where the Iron Man suit and Tony Stark become…

  • Review: Pain & Gain

    Dave Taylor
    25 Apr 2013 | 11:00 pm
    There are two fundamental problems with the action "comedy" Pain and Gain: First, Michael Bay is the wrong director for this sort of material, and second, whoever cast the likable Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson in the film made a terrible mistake. I like Wahlberg and Johnson, and that's the problem: In the film the criminal masterminds they portray are such losers that it's just wrong to have these two popular actors in these roles. Pain and Gain is based on real life events: Sun Gym was a cut-rate bodybuilder's gym just north of Miami, marketed and mostly run by a self-aggrandizing…

  • Review: Oblivion

    Dave Taylor
    19 Apr 2013 | 2:06 pm
    I knew going into the theater that Oblivion starred Tom Cruise. It's hard to miss. And there's something about Cruise movies, something about the fact that he's in every single scene and that whether he's supposed to be part of a team (as in the Mission: Impossible series) or otherwise, it's always narcissistically All About Tom. So there's that. Then there are problems with the storyline itself. I won't spoil it but the trailers to the film suggest a scenario that might not be exactly what's going on as the film unfolds. The security drones are bad-ass hardware, definitely reminiscent of…

And with kids getting out of school over the next few weeks, I can anticipate a number of moms and dads looking for a proper movie escape, or a play date on a sweltering afternoon.    But Epic, for whatever reason, is getting overlooked in the crowded marketplace, as families flock to Iron Man (understandably) and bide their time until…

Cruise had been slated to co-star with Armie Hammer in the Guy Ritchie directed movie adaptation of the '60s television series. When the project was first launched, Steven Soderbergh was directing and George Clooney was attached to star. Both men have since left the project with Soderbergh slowly slipping into retirement and Clooney focusing on other projects like Gravity and Monuments Men. So who can fill Tom Cruise's spot?

The spontaneous error was so charming the director wanted to leave it in the show, but a technical problem required that the scene be reshot. Desi tried to repeat his endearing goof, but the magic was gone.That's how it is with movie sequels. It's usually impossible to capture the qualities that made the original film successful.

  • Joss Whedon on ‘Avengers 2′ Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver Powers

    25 May 2013 | 1:48 pm
    With the recent news that Bryan Singer is casting the roles of Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch for X-Men: Days of Future Past presumably designed to one-up the reports that Joss Whedon is using the same characters in The Avengers 2, anyone expecting some kind of half-cocked, defensive response from Whedon will have to look elsewhere. Singer’s news came hot on the heels of Whedon’s confirmation that the characters would show up in the sequel to his blockbuster, but the details are still under wraps. During an appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on May 24th in order to…

    25 May 2013 | 9:46 am
    The theatrical release of Man of Steel – Warner Bros. and DC’s long-awaited Superman reboot – is only weeks away, and as such, pre-release marketing is coming at an increasingly rapid pace. Much has already been said about how DC may be pinning its hopes on building a shared movie universe (and eventually releasing a Justice League film) on the success of Superman’s big-screen return. In recent weeks, we’ve seen magazine cover stories, TV spots and the most action-packed trailer to date. Now, it seems, Man of Steel is upping the ante. On its YouTube channel, fast food…

    With each new trailer released for Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel our list of questions and theories grows, and even a single image  out of context gets our minds racing over potential plot twists. Thankfully, Warner Bros. and DC Comics have provided some answers. The Man of Steel prequel comic that just last week confirmed the existence of Supergirl a.k.a. Kara Zor-El in Snyder’s universe has now been released; and the inclusion of Superman’s cousin is the least shocking truth revealed in the comic’s pages. Normally prequel comics or tie-in graphic novels are intended to…

Practically omnipresent and infinitely versatile, Malcolm McDowell has played, among others, a rebellious private school student, a futuristic sociopath, a degenerate emperor, Michael Myer’s nemesis, and the killer of Captain Kirk. He has worked with directors that have included Stanley Kubrick, Paul Schrader and Rob Zombie. He’s pretty much done it all, including a brief appearance as a mastermind in corporate espionage in this weekend’s environmental biography, A GREEN STORY. And, oh, has he stories.

From his debut television appearance that started with the show’s second season — for which he scripted and also pre-screened the “cheesy movies” that would torture host Joel Hodgson and crew — Conniff went on to gigs both behind and in front of the cameras for such diverse genre shows as SABRINA THE TEEN-AGE WITCH and INVADER ZIM.

    Ray Harryhausen & friends. It is not an understatement to say that, for many who work within the industry of fantastic film and those who cover it, Ray Harryhausen was one of the key godfathers of the Sense of Wonder. In such films as EARTH VS. THE FLYING SAUCERS, THE SEVENTH VOYAGE OF SINBAD, JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS, and CLASH OF THE TITANS, Harryhausen’s collection of creatures — singlehandedly and painstakingly stop-motion animated by the man himself — exhibited a wondrous sense of life, and convinced many of us that, with dedication and love, almost anything that could be…

She chooses not only to make her debut film — which she also scripted — a period piece, but to use it as a conduit for some trenchant observations on class, sexuality, and gender. Based on true events, AUGUSTINE tells the tale of the titular kitchen servant — played by singer Soko — who is brought to an asylum after suffering a strange seizure that leaves her paralyzed on one side. Placed in the care of Dr. Jean-Martin Charcot (Vincent…

    Notebook
    22 May 2013 | 4:45 pm
    THE IMMIGRANT (JAMES GRAY, USA)OFFICIAL COMPETITION ADAM COOK: With The Immigrant, James Gray takes a considerable turn from his previous work. His filmography has been dominated by male characters, intricate family relations, and operatic melodrama. Here we have a female protagonist alone in America (Marion Cotillard), separated from her family, with a completely different approach to the dramatic trajectory of the film. The result gives one pause: Gray is moving towards something new. More than anything else, it's exciting to try and articulate just what that something new is. DANIEL…

    BASTARDS [LES SALAUDS] (CLAIRE DENIS, FRANCE)UN CERTAIN REGARD Bastards [Les salauds] begins, like Garrel's A Burning Hot Summer, at night, with a suicide. An explanation for the gesture will never come, although, through the film's near imperceptible ellipses, it comes close. A film of profoundly somber gloam, of loneliness and anger and even stifled madness, of complicity and solitude, its sadness is almost absolute. A torrid string connects a cast predominantly made up from Claire Denis' family of actors: Vincent Lindon, Michel Subor, Alex Descas, Grégoire Colin. There are so…

    TIP TOP (SERGE BOZON, FRANCE)QUINZAINE DES RÉALISATEURS After a wait of 6 years, Serge Bozon has followed up his expansive and beautiful La France with a far more modestly scaled what's-it: Tip Top, a pseudo-detective film at once burlesque and jabbing, adapted from one of a series of novels by Welsh author Bill James. It overlaps not just genres (crime, comedy) but production "genres" or types; in the sense that a minimalist Rotterdam arthouse movie is a "festival film," Tip Top feels both a distinctly auteurist film from Bozon, and a strange…

    The pop pleasure and genre subversion of Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive was enough to bewitch the majority of its viewers, but beneath its surface sensations were some fundamental filmmaking issues. In his new film, which also stars Ryan Gosling in vapid-stare mode, everything that covered up the bullshit is gone, leaving a hollow core of Refn’s cinema exposed. With minimal dialogue, Refn relies on the strength of his visual prowess and the presence of his actors. However, both of those "qualities" are entirely lacking: Refn has an inability to construct coherent space, and his…

The story centers on a rigid documentary filmmaker (Stiller) and his wife (Watts), whose lives change when they meet a lively couple (Driver and Seyfried). The premise almost sounds like a Woody Allen movie, with great narratives and interesting characters. Greta Gerwig was originally considered for Seyfried's role. Gerwig and Baumbach previously worked together on "Frances Ha", so naturally filmmakers…

He then kept teasing his audience, finally revealing that the duo would be none other than Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. Fans of the comics found this interesting since the duo were Magneto from the X-Men's twins but also became members of the Avengers brought on by Iron Man, under Captain America's reign. The deal between Fox and Disney, since these characters are technically owned by both companies, is that when Disney uses the duo, they can make no reference to them being…

    Six ‘n 90!  Da man reviews six films in ninety seconds. Jack the Giant Slayer. An even better title would have been — not Jack and the Beanstalk -- but The Beanstalk and Jack. Or even better yet: Beanstalk! Robot and Frank. It’s a film about memory and the loss of memory that’s unforgettable. Oz the Great and Powerful. Be sure and bring your ruby slippers, because half way through this film, you’ll be clicking them together and saying, “There’s no place like home.  There’s no place like…” Thanks for listening!  We’ll be back…

    6 ‘n 90!  Da Man reviews six films in ninety seconds. Bullet to the Head. Audiences might turn out to see one more Rambo or Rocky movie, but will they queue up at the theater for James Bonomo, the character Sylvester Stallone plays in Bullet to the Head? A Good Day to Die Hard. As far as Bruce Willis is concerned, a more honest title might be A Good Day to Collect a Check and Run. The Last Stand. Even though this film has some good things in it, it’s unlikely “I’m the Sheriff” will replace “I”ll be back” as Schwarzenegger’s most famous…

    Benjamin Nason
    25 May 2013 | 1:38 pm
    What we have here is what I’m calling a passion-testera true testament to the love of movies, or perhaps storytelling. It’s all on display, for better or worse: a menagerie of choices that ceaselessly walk the borderline between textbook and ill-conceived. It’s a bit of an amazing thing when you think about it, how someone can make a full movie that has a beginning, middle, and end, and yet every decision is somehow marked with what seems like utter failure. Perhaps, though, that’s exactly how it succeeds. I know, this sounds almost incoherent, but somewhere in this…

    Benjamin Nason
    24 May 2013 | 9:20 am
    Somewhere in this hypertensive ball of cars, crime, and machismo lays the display of something that resembles perpetual motion. The display looks like a series of films that not only refuse to die, but somehow pick up steam as they go, propelling themselves forward, using previous momentum to create new momentum. Like a snowball rolling downhill. The Fast & Furious franchise, now at installment six, seems to not only be perpetuating itself ever forward, but it’s collecting action film stars along the way, growing bigger as it inevitably continues on. This time around it’s…

  • Film Review – Epic

    Spencer Fornaciari
    24 May 2013 | 9:10 am
    You either have a lot of confidence in your work or a lot of arrogance if you call your movie Epic. As enjoyable as the Blue Sky Studios releases have been in recent years (I still think Rio should’ve won the Academy Award), it seems like a Babe Ruth-ian declaration to give your movie that illustrious title. The story of Epic tells of another world in nature, beyond the awareness of humans, that is an ongoing battle between the forces of life and decay. On the eve of a transition of leadership for the forces of life, a young woman, Mary Katherine (Amanda Seyfried), is shrunk and sucked into…

Populated by a variety of screen drunks, thinly veiled prostitutes, criminals, up to and including a murderer, and culminating with an all-out brawl that was, according to Film Daily, “generally conceded to be the best fracas ever shown on a screen” to that time, this first movie adaptation of the Frankie and Johnny ballad is every bit exciting today as it was when it was a critical…

    The story of “Locke & Key” is coming to an end and fans of the IDW Publishing series can’t wait to devour the last two issues and discover the fate of the Locke legacy. Written by horror savant Joe Hill and illustrated by the architectural hand of Gabriel Rodriguez, “Locke & Key” has been obsession-worthy since the first issue sold out in a single day back in 2008. But simply classifying the series as “horror” is an incomplete description. Combining elements of fantasy, adventure, young adult fiction and romance, Hill manages to spin a tale…

Bahari’s book deals with his coverage of Iran’s disputed 2009 election and his subsequent imprisonment by the Iranian government, which used Bahari’s appearance on The Daily Show as evidence of his supposed espionage. According to The Wrap, Stewart has now reportedly cast Gael Garcia Bernal—who recently ran afoul of another oppressive regime in No—in the starring role.

    How times your content is shared socially is more important to SEO than you may have realized. Content marketing and search engine optimization is evolving and that evolution is growing to include data from social networking websites. This change is taking into account how many times your content is shared via a social network when ranking it. The more times your article is “tweeted” or “liked” are nods in its favor towards search engines.  Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ are currently the top three social share indicators (in that order).

    24 May 2013 | 6:14 pm
    We all have big dreams and goals, right? For some, it’s attaining the American dream. For others, it’s as simple as having a dream job. Take Turbo, for instance. He’s a snail who dreams big – of racing in the Indy 500. The odds are pretty much stacked against him considering his kind isn’t exactly known for traveling at the speed of light. In the featurette above, star Ryan Reynolds, along with Samuel L. Jackson and Dario Franchitti, take you on a tour of the world of TURBO. TURBO is a high-velocity 3D comedy about an underdog snail whose dreams kick into…

  • An Odd Romance: Lars von Trier and the Cannes Film Festival

    24 May 2013 | 4:34 pm
    Lars von Trier’s sordid history at the Cannes Film Festival is primarily due to his insensitive and foolish comments in 2011 while promoting his last film MELANCHOLIA. But, all said and done, Cannes likes him. He won the Palme d’Or in 2000 with his subversive musical DANCER IN THE DARK, he’s won a number of technical prizes for films like EUROPA and THE ELEMENT OF CRIME, and he’s brought his female stars to win several awards for Best Actress at the festival. So why let a stupid comment he made define his personality and his persona (non grata) for the rest of his filmmaking career…

And now, having watched the teaser trailer above, I’m still a bit mystified as to what to expect from this blend of narrative film with concert footage.  I’m expecting something along the lines of CHICAGO but with heavy metal songs instead of jazz standards. Whatever it is, I’m so all over this! Here’s the official synopsis: Award-winning filmmaker Nimród Antal (Predators, Kontroll) creates a groundbreaking 3-D motion picture event,…

This popular anime series follows Kirito as he enters the online realistic video game Sword Art Online (SAO). To enter the game, players use a virtual reality helmet to create and place them in a whole new world of MMO games, where they can be anyone they want. A problem arises when the games creator traps everyone in the game. They are unable to log out, and if somebody forcibly removes your VR helmet or die in the game, they would die for real.

    Widely considered as the greatest piece of American literature of all time, F Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby has been converted to screen countless times, starting in a 1926 stage adaptation, rumored to be the best of the bunch, but alas has been lost, with the trailer only remaining. The most notable is the 1974 version starring Robert Redford, a film I never really liked because it was such a direct adaptation of the source, making it quite dull and bland at times. A very forgettable TV movie was made in the year 2000 starring Paul Rudd which was kind of dire. So it was about time…

    Four years on from JJ Abrams' action packed Star Trek that redefined the franchise and, most of all, made it cool to like it again, comes the sequel, Into Darkness. Oddly named, maybe but Abrams has claimed the title lacks a colon because that colon portrays all there is people don't like about sequels. Although that doesn't actually stop it being a sequel J.J... To start off, one of the most important parts of the Star Trek universe is the characters, which have definitely  improved since the last installment.

Much was made by the filmmakers responsible for 2009’s Star Trek movie, especially its director J.J. Abrams. He made it no secret that he wasn’t a fan of the Trek franchise, and that one of his intents was to make a movie that opened up the door for a wider audience. That was ultimately…

    Based largely off of the first half of George R.R. Martin’s behemoth of a book, A Storm of Swords (which is longer than the entirety of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy!), the third season of HBO’s Game of Thrones brings all of the plot lines, character beats, and thematic developments from the first two years to a climatic head. And as the show’s lingering questions are answered and bombshell revelations are dropped, this column (It Is Known: An Analysis of Thrones) will help wade viewers and book-lovers both through the narrative…

I can't imagine anyone being surprised by the news, since The Avengers earned over a billion dollars at the box office and the film's director serves as the director of the pilot SHIELD episode. The news would have made far more of an impact had ABC decided not to pick up the show. In any case, ABC is slowly releasing more imagery and information about Agents of SHIELD. From the short premise the network has given, it sounds like Agents of SHIELD will be Marvel's version of The X-Files…

    The Hitman has a long lineage in Hollywood. Of course, because the Hitman’s primary occupation is the extinction of human life by violent means – be it shooting, knifing, or other more extreme methods – this precludes him from adhering to standard Hollywood Code which stipulates that film protagonists must be likable and/or sympathetic. There are two typical remedies to this quandary – 1.) Make the Hitman a side character or 2.) If choosing to make the Hitman your principal character, romanticize the situation, play it for comedy’s sake or make him…

Despite devising powerful robots called Jaegers, humans are on the verge of defeat and must turn to two unlikely heroes.

So it's with considerable fan-fare that they're releasing a tenth anniversary 3D Blu-ray, packed to the gills (aha) with never-before-seen extras. We've got our hands on an exclusive preview of one titled 'A Lesson in Flashbacks', as director Andrew Stanton chats about the importance of storytelling, narratives and gives us a glimpse at the movie's concept art.   Finding Nemo is available for the…

    If you have ever been curious about Grumo Media, its Founder Miguel, or starting your own company, then I really recommend you grab a coffee, tea, or Jack Daniel's and watch this interview. During the interview Miguel shares lots of insights into how Grumo got started, managed to grow the company, and great advice for first time entrepreneurs. I apologize for my bad hair, it really looks I just got up from bed (probably the case) but I'm not sure because this was recorded over a year ago now. Oh well, you'll get a true honest look at the crazy mind behind Grumo Media. Thanks a lot to George…

    We've put together our first 30 sec trailer ad for Grumo Media. It is made of a series of shots from some of our most fun projects with my voice explaining what we do in a few words. Picking the right music for a video is always a challenge and in this case we chose two different tracks. One track is more classical and relaxed so you can hear better the quirky home made sound effects in the background. The other track is more epic and energetic and carries the voice over so well that it makes the ad fun even if you were only listening to the ad with your eyes closed. Which one do you prefer?

    I saw this incredible broadway show, The Last 5 Years, and just cannot stop thinking about it. The story follows a couple, Jamie and Cathy, and their five year journey. Sadly, the show is ending its run but there will be a movie adaptation (starring Anna Kendrick!). Of all the people I've spoken to about the show, there seem to be pretty different opinions about what went down in this relationship. The question is, are you Team Jamie or Team Cathy? Spoilers below if you don't want to know about this story!So the gist of the story follows the crumbling relationship of this couple, however both…

    I've always enjoyed post-apocalyptic films, television, and literature.  So when I saw the trailer for Warm Bodies, I was intrigued.  A comedy about zombies.  Zombies with a heart?I won't go so far as to say it was a romantic comedy, because aside from a select few (noteably, Crazy, Stupid, Love) the genre itself is lame.  Plus, the main character is a zombie, impressively played with blank zombie look for most of film by Nicholas Hoult (X-Men: First Class's Hank McCoy/Beast).I won't go too into the story, because most of it is in the trailer:I will say though, that this…

    Uncivil War Birds, starring the Three Stooges (Moe, Larry, Curly) originally released March 29, 1946 Uncivil War Birds is set during the onset of the United States’ Civil War. The Three Stooges (Moe, Larry, Curly) are living in a (unspecified) state that’s on the border between the North and the South, and after pledging their love to their girlfriends (Mary Belle, Lulu Belle, and Ringa Belle) they rush off to join the Army.

    The Three Stooges in Swing Parade of 1946 Technically, Swing Parade of 1946 isn’t a Three Stooges movie. Yes, the Three Stooges (Moe, Larry and Curly) are in the movie, and they appear as the Three Stooges—but they’re secondary characters. The main plot concerns a young nightclub owner whose father wants him to shut down the nightclub and run the family business instead. However, the nightclub owner is determined to succeed, and even hires his pals the Three Stooges as waiters (see? they’re in here—and they tend to steal every scene that they’re in).

    The Yoke’s on Me, starring the Three Stooges (Moe, Larry, Curly), originally released May 26, 1944 The Yoke’s on Me is a very difficult Three Stooges short film to review, because it deals with the issue of racism—and not in a good way.  In The Yoke’s on Me, the villains are Japanese Americans who have escaped from internment centers.  The actors portraying the escapees wear dental prosthetics to exaggerate their supposed ‘enemy Jap’ look—which is ironic, since in other Three Stooges short films of the era, actors portraying Japanese did not have to wear them.  I strongly…

    So Long Mr. Chumps, starring the Three Stooges—Moe, Larry and Curly, originally released February 7, 1941 So Long Mr. Chumps is a personal favorite of the Three Stooges short films. It begins with Moe, Larry and Curly as street sweepers, cleaning up a park, and in general assaulting each other with their brooms—a very funny sequence. Curly then finds some papers that turn out to be bonds, which our honest Stooges decide to return to their rightful owner, The man is delighted, and offers the Stooges a reward—if they can find an honest man with executive ability.

Lord help me, but I play Call of Duty Black Ops 2 nightly, for an hour or more, with a group of friends as dedicated as I. We play online against the world and we play in private matches against each other. That said, not a single one of us bought the Season Pass, so each of us has shelled out 15 bucks for each new map pack, and the latest, dubbed Uprising, is no exception. But was it worth it? Encore takes center stage, quite literally, as a medium-to-large…

    Any gamer who’s ever been nagged by a mother/girlfriend/boyfriend/roomate/spouse about playing too loudly knows that a good set of headphones is not just a luxury, but more of a necessity. My personal preference has always been the cup style headphones as opposed to ear buds, so when Wicked Audio contacted us to do a review of their new 3D Series line of headphones, I was happy to oblige.To be clear, the 3D refers to the raised lettering and graphics found on the band and cups. These are mini-jack style headphones, not powered USB, so there is no external processing of the audio going…

  • G.I. Joe: Retaliation

    Ryan S. Davis
    1 Apr 2013 | 4:13 pm
    G.I. Joe: Retaliation is an odd sequel. With only 1 1/2 returning cast members and an entirely new look and behind-the-scenes team, it feels more like a reboot than a sequel. However, it IS a sequel–the plot directly references the first one in several key places, and entirely ignores the first one in other aspects, some of them quite large as well. It’s a muddled concept from the start. It’s not a total failure, though. The disconnect from the first movie probably won’t bother most, since the general reaction to it was rather poor. That first movie really aimed to be…

    In the 1990′s, it seemed there was no shortage of action movies that could be described as “Die Hard on a _______.” After the last decade of superheroes, robots, and wizards, it feels oddly old-school to have a new movie where the bad guys are just plain old foreigners, with Olympus Has Fallen—a.k.a. “Die Hard in the White House.” Starring Gerard Butler, who has yet to recapture his glory from 300 back in 2007, and an impressive supporting cast of familiar faces, Olympus Has Fallen is the story of a lone Secret Service agent who is the last chance for…

    Israel Daramola
    24 May 2013 | 9:36 am
    Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy in “Before Midnight.” Richard Linklater’s “Before” series is probably the most unlikeliest of trilogies. Starting in 1995, “Before Sunrise” was a lovely movie about love at first sight and a day adventure with two strangers (Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy) as they got to know each other and had interesting—and somewhat pretentious—conversation. It was cute, quaint and engrossing. Nine years later, the two strangers meet again for another chance encounter in “Before Sunset,” a lovely sequel that somehow succeeds despite essentially being…

    Bradley Cooper, Kevin Jeong, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis in “The Hangover III.” With the first “The Hangover” film, Director Todd Philips stumbled on a monster mega-hit that took the buddy frat-boy comedy and added never-seen-before originality to it. The story of 3 friends on a bachelor party trip to Vegas, getting blackout-wasted and having to retrace their steps in order to find the future groom was a fun idea, and the 3 friends, or “the wolfpack” (played by Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis), were charismatic enough to drive it home.

    In a lot of ways, Baz Luhrmann (“Romeo + Juliet,” “Moulin Rouge!”) is the perfect person to bring the decadent, extravagant, yet ultimately meaningless life of rich excess portrayed in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s literary classic to life. In his latest “classic tale with a modern twist” or “classic tale but with Jay-Z music in the background,” Luhrmann breathes life into everyone’s favorite ninth grade book report: “The Great Gatsby.” The film focuses on the story of a doe-eyed writer-turned-broker, Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire) living life in the go-go 1920s as he gets…

  • Will Keri Russell follow in Claire Danes's Emmy footsteps?

    24 May 2013 | 9:10 am
    "The Americans" star Keri Russell currently sits in 8th place in our Emmy predictions for Best Drama Actress, but if she manages to beat the odds and break through the crowded field it would be Emmy kismet, as she would almost certainly compete against reigning champ Claire Danes ("Homeland"), whose career trajectory has been eerily similar. Both women became TV stars at a young age and returned to the spotlight years later on acclaimed espionage dramas. The early career breakthrough for Danes came in 1994, when the teenage actress starred in the critically lauded "My…

This CinemaCon clip features Hugh Jackman's character battling a barrage of baddies, including the fierce-looking Silver Samurai, and taking on some heavy arrow damage. Not everyone wants him dead though. In between relieving his rivals of their extremities, the trailer also indicates Wolvie finds time for romance.

A feat of both editing and blurring-of-the-edges nonfiction technique, Matt Wolf’s mesmerizing, scrapbook-style Teenage conveys the transition in how the world perceived this emerging in-between stage via a series of first-person portraits of exceptional individuals set amid a whirlwind of…

I count seven distinct deaths in this clip, which is just shy of two minutes, but with all the lootin' and a stabbin' going on in the background,  I'm  clearly being conservative. Roth gets to preside over his own frightfest, too. He's front and center in this video as Gringo, a sensitive-sounding guy who just wants to meet a nice girl at an underground Chilean disco. Alas, as the old Nazareth song goes, "Love Hurts."  Here's my tally of the grisly deaths (and one amputation) that take place in…

After success on Broadway, the playwright eschews his firming foundations in the New York theatre scene to try his hand at the motion picture business, reluctantly willing to take a chance but never quite sure of his decision.

Although it’s gorgeous to look at, Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby stumbles at times: I came away feeling that I had just watched a movie built around a musical soundtrack (instead of the other way around.) Leo DiCaprio amazes as the title character, a man affectionately referred to as ‘the single most hopeful person I’ve ever met.’ The Great Gatsby is lush, loud and somehow sleepy all at the same…

    Of the 83 movies I saw in 2012, only 13 of them were actually made in 2012.  That's by no means enough to make a definitive list, but I'll go ahead and rank them in order from worst to best. It feels good to finally be finished with the backlog from 2012.  And hey, I'm only five months late! 13. The Devil Inside - Found footage movies are quickly becoming the most annoying things in cinema.  This was undoutably the most badly made movie I saw in 2012, but at least it was funny, unlike a lot of this past year's fodder. 12.

It's pretty standard stuff.  Party party party,…

    Another world! ... Another time! This week Matt and Mark review the Jim Henson Frank Oz puppet show masterpiece The Dark Crystal. A marvel of classic special effects, TDC proves to be an evocative film minus its human-free celluloid. Marketed as a children's movie, it challenges youthful sensibility with a touch of Grimm's fairy tales, and in so doing, gives its viewer the benefit of the doubt. So forget James Cameron's heavily borrowed Pandora and settle in to the more imaginative world of The Dark Crystal. Download: 071 The Dark Crystal

    Matt and Mark delve into the big-boobed world of Russ Meyers this week when we review the 1965 cult classic Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! We attempt to explore the feminist angle of FPKK by juxtaposing the Varla character with the typical male-dominated action roles. What we get is an interesting hyperbole of exaggerated misogyny that may speak more truth then most men can admit. Download:  070 Faster Pussycat!

  • 069 Reservoir Dogs

    6 May 2013 | 5:53 am
    Well, it's about time we got around to reviewing a Quentin Tarantino film ("Quarantino", if you're not into that whole brevity thing, man). A cult film if there ever was one, Matt and Mark discuss the seminal classic Reservoir Dogs. Along with its violence, R'Dogs capitalizes on the subtle yet intriguing nuance of everyday guy conversations, whether its pop-culture musings or humorous anecdotes. Tarantino's dialogue is where he's always been the strongest, which of course is not to sell the film short for its storytelling chops, which QT deftly wields. Download: 069…

  • 068 The Third Man

    29 Apr 2013 | 4:52 am
    This week Matt stupefies Mark, and possibly raises the ire of all those who consider themselves fans of cinema, by shrugging off the film noir classic The Third Man, starring Orson Welles. Yep, Matt must admit he did not enjoy the film, despite its essential place in cinematic history. Mark makes the case which Matt respects, but in the end, film will always be a subjective media. Anyway, we'll let the listener decide. Hate mail welcome! Download:  068 The Third Man

  • 067 Aliens

    20 Apr 2013 | 12:34 pm
    "We're in some real pretty shit now!" Well, it's good to see that in the far interstellar future of mankind, the institution of the U.S. Marines is spreading its diplomatic subtleties far and wide, perhaps no better embodied by the memorable Pvt. Hudson character played by Bill Paxton in James Cameron's epic sequel Aliens. Matt obsesses over James Cameron's flair for far future gadgetry while Mark muses on the humor of Hudson, literally and figuratively. After 27 years, Aliens is a terrific sci-fi film that's stood the test of time. Download:  067 Aliens

    LMS brings you the biggest movie industry news from the past week, in brief. Movie Poster: The World’s End The World’s End Hitting cinemas next month is the latest installment from the Wright/Pegg/Frost team behind Sean Of The Dead and Hot Fuzz, bombastically titled The World’s End. The movie’s recently released trailer sets up the premise of a group of friends attempting a lengthy pub crawl that soon turns into an apocalyptic, alien-infested, action-packed God know’s what.

    Philip Seymour Hoffman plays the rapidly aging Caden Synecdoche, New York is made of the stuff that even film bloggers don’t understand (including us). It is a decidedly ‘multiple viewings needed’ film about a playwright, Caden Cotard, injecting his existential fears about death and loneliness into an increasingly large-scale autobiographical play, within which the same character puts on the same play, within which…… This is high art and I feel I won’t properly understand it for years.

    9 May 2013 | 3:30 am
    The first part of the prequel to the epic Lord of the Rings trilogy was released in December 2012, with the other two parts supposedly due in consecutive years. The Hobbit trilogy is based on the book by J.R.R. Tolkien and though it is a separate story in itself, it is effectively the build up of events and adventures before the Lord of the Rings. Though there is some fairly significant waiting to be done before we will get to see the whole trilogy, was The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey what it was expected to be? The storyline focuses on Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) as he is swept away…

    With J.J. Abrams busy rebooting/continuing another sci-fi classic… Star Wars… Heard of it? A new director will need to be hired to helm the upcoming Star Trek 3. While a shortlist of directors are being discussed, the first contender to be named is Joe Cornish. Cornish was the writer/director of the well-received alien invasion flick Attack the Block. He also penned the screenplays for The Adventures of Tin Tin, and the upcoming Ant-Man. It’s a risky move as Cornish doesn’t have experience with a movie of this caliber, the budget on Attack the Block was only…

A few weeks ago I saw a casting notice for “Rosewater,” the movie about an Iranian journalist’s ordeal in a prison in Iran, that will be Jon Stewart’s directorial debut. This is a casting service that actors can sign up for.

    Halloween is all about dead leaves and crisp air, the smell of apples baking in the oven. Fall has an unrelinquishable hold over the holiday, and it's difficult to get into the spirit without those tendrils of chill creeping down your neck. Unfortunately, May is just about as opposite as you can get from October - the trees are blossoming with new leaves, the flowers are opening up, the weather is getting blistering, and people are running around in short shorts instead of flannels. About the only thing that's the same is that allergies are rearing their ugly heads. There aren't any…

From here, standing above the smoke and the fog rolling in, it seems as though civilization has crumbled into oblivion. The town is on fire, there are cracks of lava roiling down the city block, and hungry, decaying things are climbing over farmhouse fences to get after you. But for the moment, it's enough to just catch your breath and admire how beautiful destruction can sometimes be.This is the scenery of Black Ops II's Zombies missions, an expanse of wasteland laid out…

    21 May 2013 | 2:12 pm
    Bordello of Blood might be my teenage dream, because I remember watching this movie quite a few times when it was on cable TV. Though when it aired on television, it was super-edited and none of the boobs from the bordello were on display, so there was always a tease of maybe seeing something even though you knew you wouldn't. The movie itself hasn't held up as well to scrutiny after watching it later in life; I thought I remember it being more substantial and better-paced, but that's just the error of nostalgia getting in the way of things again.Dennis Miller stars as Rafe, a down-and-out…

The news comes at an interesting time, as it was recently revealed by Joss Whedon that Quicksilver and twin sister Scarlet Witch would be appearing in his film, Marvel's The Avengers 2.

    Relativity Media has released the following new trailer for Don Jon, a romantic comedy written, directed by and starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt. In the film, Jon Martello (Gordon-Levitt) objectifies everything in his life: his apartment, his car, his family, his church, and, of course, women. His buddies even call him Don Jon because of his ability to pull “10s” every weekend without fail. Yet even the finest flings don’t compare to the transcendent bliss he achieves alone in front of the computer watching pornography. Dissatisfied, he embarks on a journey to find a more gratifying sex…

    I’ve been in the mood for a martial arts / floating people / medieval asian movie for some time, but haven’t gotten around to seeing anything due to my crippling laziness. I could have just put on Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon or Hero (or something else), but I wanted something new and exciting. In fact, I don’t even care what this mystery movie would be about, as long as it fits the bill (see above). And it seems The Guillotines does just that. To be honest, after sitting through the trailer a few times, I still have no idea what it’s about, or even why the movie is called “The…

    A maneating monster is on the loose and its up to a ragtag group to bring the insanity to an end in this ultrahokey microbudget genre installment. Anyone bold enough to approach the cameras with the intent to make a vision come to life deserves a little respect. Making a quality movie is no easy feat. That said anyone lazy enough to drop a product that isnt remotely near prepared for release should really reevaluate their goals and ambitions. Maybe film isnt a part of your fate.

    Galaxina answers a number of burning questions. Most immediately, it shows practical special effects and miniatures is sometimes not the best way to do special effects. Because auteur William Sachs had a great cinematographer–Dean Cundey–yet the effects work in Galaxina is awful. But it’s not like Cundey shot any of it well.

There are no people in Gorge, there are no stand-ins for them. The objects move of their own volition, but some of these objects are recognizable vehicles–there’s an amazing plane too;…

    For Star Trek Into Darkness, J.J. Abrams operates with an “if it ain’t broke” mentality. It serves him–and the film–fairly well. Except Michael Giacchino’s music. While Abrams goes for sensationalism every time, he does it competently. The Giacchino music, however, is never competent. This Trek tries hard to create mainstream post-modern; it’s a sequel to the first movie, yes, but it’s also a remake of a television series and a movie series. Not to mention Abrams and the writers gleefully wink at the franchise’s more memorable details.
