From the very beginning, BRAVE felt like a movie that just didn’t know what it wanted to be. Is it a coming of age action movie? Is it a heartwarming story about a daughter learning to appreciate her mother? Is it a historical adventure? Is it a slapstick comedy for younger audiences? Actually, it’s a [...]
When we left off with ‘Boardwalk Empire’ at the end of its first season, Jimmy (Michael Pitt), Eli (Shea Whigham) and the Commodore (Dabney Coleman) were conspiring to take down Nucky (Steve Buscemi). This set up the entire premise for the second season as their plans started to unfold and Nucky started to feel the [...]
Disney-Pixar has announced that the animated film BRAVE will be available on Blu-ray in a 5-Disc Blu-ray Ultimate Collector’s Edition (Blu-ray 3D/2-disc Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy) Combo Pack as well as a 3-Disc Blu-ray Combo Pack on November 13, 2012. Pixar’s BRAVE follows the heroic journey of the headstrong, young adventurer Merida (voiced by Kelly Macdonald from [...]
With a phenomenal leading heroine, BRAVE is a wonderful story about strength, courage and family. But watching BRAVE in a theater full of filthy, snot-nosed children (clearly my wife and I don’t have kids), brought upon a magic to the film that I might have otherwise been unappreciative to. At the most unsuspecting moments, [...]
Pixar has released another new trailer for its next film BRAVE and it looks fantastic. Maybe it’s the beautiful saturated colors and mystical, dreamy landscapes or maybe it’s the charming Scottish accents, but this film just shot up a couple of spots on my must see summer movie list. Pixar has a lot to prove [...]
Pixar‘s upcoming film BRAVE is now officially in promotional mode as today we get four new character posters from the upcoming film. As always with Pixar films, the colors and details pop in these four posters which feature the main characters: Merida (voiced by Kelly Macdonald), Merida’s parents King Fergus (Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant After the shameless cash grab that was CARS 2, it looks like Pixar is back on track with BRAVE. And although the film looks impressive, I do have to point out one small issue I have with the film already; the shape of Princess Merida’s face. Does it seem overly circular [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant I don’t want to pile on the hate, but CARS 2 was such a shameless money grab that everyone at the studio has to be at least a little embarrassed this morning. And that’s the only reason I can see for releasing the teaser trailer to their next film, BRAVE, the [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Lionsgate Films has announced that the dark comedy/ drama TRAINSPOTTING, from director Danny Boyle and starring Ewan McGregor, Jonny Lee Miller, Kelly Macdonald and Ewen Bremner, will be released on Blu-ray September 13, 2011. The film follows Renton (McGregor) a guy deep into the drug scene in Edinburgh but is trying [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant If I were a director in Hollywood, I’d do exactly what Joe Wright has been doing and that’s cast Saoirse Ronan and Keira Knightley in everything I do. They’re two of my favorite actresses and they’ve proven that they can pull off tough material and give characters depth they wouldn’t otherwise [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant One thing about director Joe Wright- he is loyal to his actors and actresses. With his next film HANNA coming out this weekend, he’s been making the interview rounds and has confirmed that a couple more thespians have joined the cast of his upcoming adaptation of Leo Tolstoy’s ANNA KARENINA. Looks [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant We’re finally getting a first look at the upcoming Disney/Pixar film BRAVE, which is not about toys or cars (odd, huh). The film follows a Scottish princess named Merida (who was originally going to be voiced by Reese Witherspoon but has been replaced with Kelly Macdonald), who is a bit of [...]
Choke is only the second Chuck Palahniuk book to be adapted into a feature film. The first, of course, was 1999’s magnificent FIGHT CLUB. Needless to say, CHOKE did not spark the same intensity, or provide the same social commentary as its predecessor. There are several reasons for its shortcomings and the film managed to [...]
