Can you believe it has been almost four months since we’ve seen Jessica Chastain in a movie? It sounds crazy, but it’s true. The busiest actress in Hollywood actually doesn’t have anything coming up for a while unless they finally update the release date for THE DISAPPEARANCE OF ELEANOR RIGBY. I assume that will come [...]

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has officially announced that Kathryn Bigelow’s ZERO DARK THIRTY is coming to Blu-ray and DVD on March 19th. I’ve always wondered why films don’t capitalize on their Oscar buzz by releasing their films on Blu-ray the week before or the week after the telecast. But between ZERO DARK THIRTY and LES [...]

Following the tragic September 11, 2001 attack on the Twin Towers, ZERO DARK THIRTY explores the decade long hunt for the man responsible for the evil. Every behind-the-scene detail becomes a riveting exercise in anticipation and personal vengeance. Naturally, ZERO DARK THIRTY is a film that nearly all Americans will get behind because we felt [...]

Next year looks to be a promising year for film as one of the movies we should all be looking out for is THE DISAPPEARANCE OF ELEANOR RIGBY. With the main stars being James McAvoy (X-MEN: FIRST CLASS) and Jessica Chastain (LAWLESS and ZERO DARK THIRTY), there’s almost no way it could be a disappointing [...]

A new trailer has been released for director Kathryn Bigelow’s second film ZERO DARK THIRTY, and I have to admit this trailer makes the movie look way more interesting…and intense. It looks like Jessica Chastain (LAWLESS) and Joel Edgerton (WARRIOR) are at their best, but I’m still a little hesitant to get too excited. I [...]

Director Katherine Bigelow made a big splash with her first film THE HURT LOCKER, and in her sophomoric effort she is taking on one of the biggest events in recent American history- the hunt and death of Osama Bin Laden. Considering her subject matter, Bigelow has managed to keep pretty much everything except her all-star [...]

Through all my English, Playwriting, Literature and Theater courses between high school and college, I’ve become moderately knowledgeable in Shakespearian work. And by knowledgeable, I mean I recognize the titles. CORIOLANUS is definitely one of the less popular William Shakespeare works but Ralph Fiennes in his directorial debut masterfully transitions the famous writer’s work into [...]

The much anticipated John Hillcoat film LAWLESS opens up in theaters next month and we’re finally getting a poster for the film. On the crimson tinted poster we have one of the stars, Shia LaBeouf, looking down forlornly while holding a shotgun. It almost looks like he’s ready to battle it out to the death, [...]

Even though the role of Princess Diana was originally set for Jessica Chastain, Naomi Watts definitely looks the part of the infamous English royalty.

TAKE SHELTER is a small film with amazing acting from a promising director that went relatively unnoticed.

The difficult thing about the Academy Awards is that it only lists the top five performances in a category. With such a subjective field as acting, it is inevitable people’s favorite performances will be left off the ballot. I actually liked all the nominees this year with only a couple of undeserving exceptions. These are [...]

Perhaps it’s because we have so many crime shows on television, but I feel a lack of great homicide stories in film today.

First, let me point out that the Joseph Kosinski sci-fi film starring Tom Cruise was once called OBLIVION and then it was called HORIZONS and now it’s “between names”. But until they decide on a name, I’m going to continue to think of it as OBLIVION. The casting process for a female costar to appear [...]

But it did, and in [...]

Terrence Malick’s existential film about life, death and the conflicting ways of living life is not for everyone. Although to be fair, audiences have never had a chance to witness anything like THE TREE OF LIFE until now.
