Recently, we reported that Chris Pine and Jake Gyllenhaal were circling the role as the two princes in Disney’s adaptation of the Broadway musical INTO THE WOODS. Now it looks as though the lovely Emily Blunt will be signing on for the lead. Most of the cast is still in negotiations but we do know [...]

When it was first announced that Richard Gere would be singing a pretty big part in the big screen adaptation of the musical CHICAGO, I cringed. That was director Rob Marshall’s first major film role and I thought the casting of Gere was going to make that his last film. But Gere nailed all the [...]

Of course, a movie featuring Meryl Streep doing a different voice, starring in the film adaptation of a famous Broadway play is what we would call an awards chaser. And I knew that going into the trailer, but I still found myself interested and even chuckled a little bit towards the end. As for Meryl [...]

It’s not what you know, it’s who you know. And for Rob Marshall, that “who” is Johnny Depp. Continuing with their epic and extremely profitable love affair, Disney is tapping Johnny Depp for the lead in the film adaptation of the musical INTO THE WOODS. The film interweaves several classic fairy tales and focuses on [...]

I’ve always been fascinated with all lifeforms that can fly (ironically, I hate flying myself), so I was excited to see Disney’s next installment in their Disneynature series, DISNEYNATURE: WINGS OF LIFE. When you think about lifeforms that can fly, you probably go immediately to birds, maybe eagles, parrots, seagulls, robins or any number of [...]

What can I say about the 84th Annual Academy Awards? …Zzzzzz… huh what? Oh I’m sorry. Where was I? Oh yeah, Academy Awards. I think it’s important to note… (Head bobs as eyes fight to stay open). The fact is, it was really, really boring. Was it as bad as last year’s debacle from James [...]

The 84th Annual Academy Awards are officially over and to no one’s surprise, THE ARTIST won Best Picture and Jean Dujardin won Best Actor for the film as well. All in all, the film took home five awards, which was equal to Martin Scorsese’s HUGO. I wouldn’t call it a surprise, but Meryl Streep won [...]

Hot on the heels of his ANNIE HALL success, Woody Allen poured all of his energy into another romantic comedy starring Diane Keaton. MANHATTAN was nominated for two Academy Awards and secured Allen’s position as a force to be reckoned with in the film making industry. Isaac Davis (Allen) is a comedy writer who is [...]

Not everyone loves the Best Picture winner for the Academy Awards. Myself included. Like many people, my absolute favorite rarely matches up with what is decided as the best and is stuck on the bench of nominees looking in or worse, doesn’t even have the honor of just being nominated. But usually the winner is [...]

In my humble opinion, 2011 was one of the worst years in recent memory for quality films. So I’m having a hard time getting excited for awards season as much as I have in the past because it seems the two movies I thought were best this year (DRIVE and TREE OF LIFE) have gone [...]

Although it will surely be billed as a biopic on Britain’s first female Prime Minister, THE IRON LADY plays more like a pedestrian telling of a senile elderly woman looking back on various high and low points in her life. If you don’t know much about Margaret Thatcher before watching this film, you’re not going [...]

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant So the first teaser trailer for THE IRON LADY has just been released and…yikes. Remember that when it was first announced that Meryl Streep would be playing the iconic Margaret Thatcher, almost every critic and news editor in the world was ready to hand her the Oscar. But after this initial [...]

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant I think we all know that Meryl Streep‘s upcoming film THE IRON LADY, in which she portray’s the legendary British political figure Margaret Thatcher, is going to garner Streep yet another Academy Award nomination. But the real question is whether or not the film is going to be enjoyable. Political biographies [...]

And really, who better to star alongside than one of the greatest actresses of all time, Ms. Meryl Streep? Carell is in [...]

To simply say that FANTASTIC MR. FOX is fantastic is a bit of an understatement. Most viewers might know director Wes Anderson because of his quirky, unique films like RUSHMORE, THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS, and THE LIFE AQUATIC WITH STEVE ZISSOU just to name a few. Fantastic Mr. Fox is a different adventure for Anderson. This [...]

Watching other people cook on television is either something you like, or just can’t understand. Before the Rachel Ray made the Food Network famous, Julia Child was the cook to watch on television. She paved the way for Ms. Ray and the Iron Chef’s of America. In general, cooking shows are for a niche market [...]

by: Jeremey Gingrich This year saw the release of two films by two of the consummate chick flick directors: JULIE & JULIA by Nora Ephron and IT’S COMPLICATED by Nancy Meyers.

If the Golden Globe nominations are any indication (and they often are), Meryl Streep is looking at at least one Oscar nomination when they are listed February 2nd, 2010 – and Vegas odds are favoring a nom for her role as Julia Child in JULIE & JULIA. Although she has earned many nominations and statuettes [...]

Cool. I believe that is the best word to describe THE FANTASTIC MR. FOX. In all aspects this movie was simply cool. The characters, the dialogue, the story, the animation, even the peer pressure I was putting on myself to like the movie seemed to be the definition of cool. If I didn’t like it, [...]

Though the Digital Generation (or whatever we’re called) is less familiar with Julia Child, for the Baby Boomers she was the dominant voice – and what a voice – in teaching gourmet cooking to the average American. Most are more familiar with Dan Akroyd’s lampooning of that voice in his classic “SNL” sketch. Back in [...]

Sigh. Society has dictated that liking certain things makes a man less of a man. For example; liking the color pink, throw pillows or fruity drinks will usually get your man card revoked. I’m not sure when certain things became less manly, but men feel pressure to either not like those things, or to hide [...]

Stage to screen can go either way. When “Chicago” hit the theaters in 2002 it had even tough guys doing jazz hands. But RENT came and went without even a blip on the radar screen. And as for MAMMA MIA, everyone loves Abba, but that love was tested when we had to hear Pierce Brosnan [...]

Have you ever tried to write a screenplay? The whole process of writing a screenplay is fascinating to me now that I’ve actually written a few.
