I’m not sure what exactly happen to this film but it’s a complete mess. With Martin Scorsese on as a producer (he was the original director) and with a cast this talented, you expect a certain standard. The Snowman is the seventh entry in a crime series featuring the character Harry Hole (insert all laughs […]
Zach Braff (Garden State) is behind the camera on this elderly buddy film, which is a remake of the George Burns picture of the same name from 1979. Batman’s most trusted cohorts Alfred Pennyworth and Lucius Fox, also known as Sir Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman, reunite on their six collaboration. I’ve referred to this
Another moderately predictable formula this awards season; transformative performance showcased in a by the numbers genre film. What genre you might ask, the white man wanting to make it big genre. Gold, inspired by a true story (but then aren’t they all these days) has similarities to The Wolf of Wall Street and a bit
In the latest made for Lifetime script that casts big enough stars to wiggle itself onto limited theater screens. The Whole Truth shows just how far filmmaker Courtney Hunt has fallen since her directorial debut Frozen River (2008). Hunt didn’t write the screenplay, so we can’t blame her for that. As part of Zellweger’s comeback,
The irony behind the title certainly extends to the filmmakers, as they have delivered quite the comedy dud. The biggest joke here is when “based on a true story” appears near the opening credits.

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”,
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
Tom Hardy (The Dark Knight Rises, Locke) is one of the most stunning, eager, and impressive actors in film today.
Captive, a really tight, tense thriller, portrays the desperation of an inmate frustrated about being locked up for so long for something he did not do. (The film leaves unclear whether he is right or not, but seems to imply that he is correct.) Brian Nichols (Oyelowo) decides to take matters into his own
It would take much less than seven minutes to fully sum up the lack of originality this new heist film brings to the genre.
