Sorry for the late addition. Apparently a little slow on the up-keep today, but still with enough of a heads-up for tomorrow … Sin City (2005) Lawmen, prostitutes, a hulking thug and other sordid characters run amok in a crime-ridden metropolis. Directors: Robert Rodriguez, Frank Miller and a guest sequence by Quentin Tarantino. Cast: [...] While we didn’t make any $10,000 bets, co-worker and I recently bandied about Joel Schumacher’s overall Hollywood credibility, his hits vs. misses. Crap-ass flicks like 8MM and the Batman debacle which may not be named (at least not till later) aside, I’m firmly in the former camp. Co-worker leaned the latter direction before presenting [...] - Red River: A Ron Pearlman recommendation on TCM Tuesday, this Howard Hawkes masterpiece still resonates. Most John Wayne fans have a list of his favorite co-stars, with company favorites like Walter Brennan, Ward Bond and Maureen O’Hara. I’ll go with Montgomery Clift. He’s an absolute monster, and like the greats, can come off as [...] Smilin’ a whole lot wider right now about the global marketing for upcoming Captain America movie. Most of the world, my sincere thanks. Paramount Pictures and Marvel Studios gave distributors around the world the option of shortening the title of “Captain America: The First Avenger” to simply “The First Avenger,” out of concern about [...] I’m not a TV critic but I will give this a shot, especially since CBS managed to f-up one of the greatest things I have ever seen on TV before, the Boston 4th of July celebration featuring the Boston Pops Orchestra. You’ll forgive me if I get the time-lines wrong or not know when or [...] Lending a hand to our good friend Christian Toto, who lays a Rick James-style SLAP!!! on Roger Ebert. Condensed version below and you can catch his full wrath over at What Would Toto Watch (some great comments from his crew over there, too, and not just talkin’ ’bout mine or JimmyC’s. Cue the Onyx [...] Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001) Two slackers try to sabotage the production of a movie. 7:45 PM EST | 104 min. | Director: Kevin Smith | TV-MA-L Some will say this was fortunately the last movie to prominently feature Kevin Smith and his foul-mouthed buddy Jason Mewes (at least until Smith felt [...] I’m not sure there is enough left in the well, but going “The Expendables” route by loading up the roster with past stars from the other “Fast and Furious” flicks, as well as Dwayne Johnson, might keep the box office tally going. And that’s the reason this was made, the last movie made nearly [...] Did the decade end last year or this year? I always believed it ended on the 10. No matter, here are my Top Fives in Film for the past, er, decade. Read at your own peril, hate at your own whim. 1. Seabiscuit: New Deal preaching aside, a wonderful movie and perhaps the best [...] It takes most directors years to become caricatures of themselves. For Todd Phillips, it took one movie. “Due Date,” Phillips’ latest project, is his follow-up to the immensely popular and successful “The Hangover,” a movie now firmly entrenched in the American zeitgeist. Like the old ball coach, it’s hard to fault one for running [...] Coming this weekend is the FN Review of “Due Date,” Todd Phillips’ follow-up to his enormously successful comedy “The Hangover.” I Am Number Four: More super-teens, powering around with their hoodies, sulking over the state of their lives, with bad-ass girls rocking motorcycles, black leather and ninja blades. No clue what the movie may [...] March release dates + Zack Snyder = HELL YEAH!!! Love the Zep cut, too. Share on Facebook In honor of this past week’s release of Iron Man 2 on DVD, here’s my review of the film when it was in the theater in May. —————————————— “Who is Tony Stark?” Will that be the chant ringing in the streets? Jon Favereau’s treatment of everyone’s favorite billionaire super-hero has all the touches of [...] Vince Vaughn + Kevin James? Yeah, despite Ron Howard directing, I think I can bring myself to see this in the theatre. Share on Facebook "Don't F this up, Mitchell!!!!"
When it comes to 80s high school movies, there’s no arguing with John Hughes’ king of the hill crown. However, with the possible exception of Sixteen Candles, 23 years after being one of the few people to see Three O’Clock High in the theatre (a $3.6 [...] MOVIES THAT RUINED THE WORLD: Rounders (1998) The Movie John Dahl’s “Rounders” survives on the breadth of a supporting cast that carries much more heft than its leads, or its flimsy and flawed script. Still, this myth-making ode to poker hits enough right notes and is indelibly entertaining. Share on [...] What movies have made the culture a worse place? Not necessarily on their own, but through their machinations through culture, or through audience reaction, or through their influence on cinema? That’s a question I asked myself, and thought I would answer in a new series I hope to continue throughout the Fall – Movies [...] THE STATION AGENT (2003) Finbar McBride (Peter Dinklage) is a four-foot-tall lonely man who chooses to live the life of a hermit in an abandoned train yard following the death of his friend. While he is there, he unexpectedly meets and befriends a couple of fellow loners. Troubled Olivia (Patricia Clarkson) is an artist [...] |
