After years of trying to get a third Ghostbusters film together, comedy director Paul Feig (The Heat, Spy) bypassed Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray, with a greenlight from the studio for an all-female Ghostbusters. The problem with this reboot isn’t the all-female cast, if I had my preference women would have all the leading roles […]
The name of Kevin Hart’s new movie is ironic, having “Intelligence” in the title, since none of his films have had an ounce of it. Kevin Hart is like processed food, no matter where you go, what time of year, or what the label looks like, you will always find the same boring ingredients with
“Stupid”, that’s usually non-video game playing viewers response to movies based on video games. Warcraft looks no different with its CGI heavy introduction into yet another fantasy franchise. Then you see the cast which includes actors that have all made strides in independent film, not to mention director Duncan Jones whose films Moon and Source
Director Shane Black (“Kiss Kiss Bang Bang”, “Iron Man 3”) has built a career on directing Robert Downey Jr. “The Nice Guys” is his first film without the star, but reteams Oscar winners Russell Crowe and Kim Basinger from “L.A. Confidential” in a very similar setting. There are some great elements to “The Nice Guys”,
There is a very good reason The Trust is debuting in limited release and VOD at the same time. When the film was introduced at SXSW, the announcer jokingly said it was “Very Cagey”, but for those who have charted the steady decline of the once admired Oscar winning actor, you know what it means.
The 13th film in the Marvel universe, they just keep feeding us the same stuff. Marvel movies are like dry pet food, your cat and dog will lap up the same stuff daily. But as humans, give us the same food three or four days in a row, and we want something different. Daniel Brühl,
I’m often asked what types of films I like. I usually explain that there isn’t a type, but a quest for something original, unique, different, that’s what impresses me. However, here is an example where a far reaching first time filmmaker, Ilya Naishuller (called the next Tarantino) debuts an entirely innovative and unconventional presentation, and
It’s been a bad year for Oscar nominee Anna Kendrick (Up in the Air, Pitch Perfect). She’s already scored one of the worst films of the year, alongside Miles Teller in Get a Job, now Mr. Right is equally terrible. Back in 2007, Kevin Costner starred in a film called Mr. Brooks, that more successfully
I was a bit worried about Gavin Hood’s “Eye in the Sky”. It looked nearly identical to Andrew Niccol’s drone thriller “Good Kill”, starring Ethan Hawke last year. While both films explore the new technological world of modern day warfare, “Eye in the Sky” takes the viewer deeper into the politics of using drones as
Zack Snyder’s highly anticipated “Man of Steel” (2013) follow-up is arguably the most anticipated film of the year. I say arguably, because for those of us with a mentality over the age of 13 this is just another day, another superhero movie. Warner Bros/DC comics have bet the Kent farm on this summer movie (although
