The Details Blu-ray Review

Thursday, May 16th, 2013

Some films just sneak up on you. You don’t expect much, but then you are pleasantly surprised by the results. THE DETAILS is one such case. I had not heard of this picture before watching it. The cast though was impressive, so it definitely piqued my curiosity. If you are looking for a television show [...]

The Great Gatsby Movie Review

Thursday, May 9th, 2013

Baz Luhrmann is a visionary artist that definitely has a unique stamp on his work.  STRICTLY BALLROOM was light-hearted fun, ROMEO + JULIET was an unexpected breath of fresh air in a played out genre, and MOULIN ROUGE was an underrated crowning achievement that rejuvenated and reinvented not only musicals but film in general. Unfortunately, [...]

Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan and Tobey Maguire in new images from The Great Gatsby

Monday, April 29th, 2013

Whether or not Baz Luhrmann’s take on THE GREAT GATSBY is a success remains to be seen, but I think we can all agree that the film is going to be visually stunning. Luhrmann has proven he can combine beautiful scenery with a great film (MOULIN ROUGE), but he’s also proven he can make a [...]

Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan star in another international trailer for The Great Gatsby

Thursday, April 25th, 2013

I hadn’t thought of it since I started writing this, but I think this new international trailer for THE GREAT GATSBY must be the 6th or 7th trailer for the film we’ve seen.  And once again, we get a lot of hip music, fast editing and plenty of Leonardo DiCaprio looking very intense, Tobey Maguire [...]

Leonardo DiCaprio, Joel Edgerton and Carey Mulligan look serious on the new poster for The Great Gatsby

Saturday, April 6th, 2013

Last week, we got individual character posters for Baz Luhrmann’s THE GREAT GATSBY.  We also got another trailer for the film, featuring new music from Beyonce and Andre 3000.  And today we get a look at the final one-sheet for the film, featuring some PhotoShopped cut-outs of Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan and the rest of [...]

Jay-Z set to score The Great Gatsby, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan

Monday, December 31st, 2012

When I first learned of the rumor that Jay-Z was going to be scoring the music for Baz Luhrmann’s THE GREAT GATSBY, I was a little shocked.  But then I sat and thought about it and realized that it’s not such a stretch for a famous musician to cross over into composing scores for movies.  [...]

Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan share a romantic moment in new photo from The Great Gatsby

Thursday, December 13th, 2012

It was such a bummer when we found out that Baz Luhrmann’s next film THE GREAT GATSBY was being pushed back for six months, but I guess the bright side is that we’ll be seeing images, clips and trailers for a while longer. Today we’re getting a shot of Leonardo DiCaprio who is holding Carey [...]

Tobey Maguire and Elizabeth Banks star in The Details trailer

Friday, September 21st, 2012

In November a dark comedy called THE DETAILS will be coming to theaters starring Tobey Maguire and Elizabeth Banks, and I’m sad to admit that this completely missed my radar. THE DETAILS follows a chain reaction that starts with a family of raccoons living underneath the sod in Jeff and Nealy Lang’s (Tobey Maguire and [...]

Tom Hardy, Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire are teaming up to produce a movie about animal trafficking

Monday, August 27th, 2012

The title would be much cooler if it read; “Tom Hardy, Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire are teaming up to star in a movie about animal trafficking”, but for now, we’ll have to settle for them producing a movie together.  The trio of actors are all pooling their finances together to produce a “TRAFFIC-style” film [...]

Tobey Maguire will play some chess for Ed Zwick’s Pawn Sacrifice

Thursday, August 16th, 2012

Tobey Maguire appears to have come back into the limelight as yesterday it was announced that he would star in and produce the post-apocalyptic film Z FOR ZACHARIAH, and now we’re learning that he has signed on to star in director Ed Zwick’s upcoming film PAWN SACRIFICE. Tobey Maguire’s recent collaboration with Baz Luhrmann for [...]

Tobey Maguire set to star in and produce Z For Zachariah

Wednesday, August 15th, 2012

Ever since he pulled off the Spider-Man outfit, Tobey Maguire has been in very few films the last couple of years. Tobey Maguire did star in BROTHERS and THE DETAILS and we’ll see him in Baz Luhrmann’s film THE GREAT GATSBY next year, but for the most part he’s been flying under the radar picking [...]

Leonardo DiCaprio and Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby gets pushed to Summer 2013

Monday, August 6th, 2012

Boo hiss!! It was just recently announced that Baz Luhrmann’s upcoming period drama THE GREAT GATSBY was being pushed from Christmas 2012 to Summer 2013. I guess this means I’ll just have to root for Leonardo DiCaprio to win that Best Actor Oscar next year, though the film won’t be as fresh in the Academy’s [...]

Ang Lee releases a beautiful Life of Pi trailer

Wednesday, July 25th, 2012

Ang Lee has finally released a trailer for his upcoming adaptation of LIFE OF PI and upon first viewing, the trailer looks really impressive. Maybe it’s just because of the concept, but I’d like to think it’s because of that tiger on the boat. Who doesn’t love a big jungle cat in a film? Overall [...]

Spider-Man 3 Blu-ray Review

Saturday, July 14th, 2012

There were three years between the second movie of the trilogy and SPIDER-MAN 3.  Apparently, that gave director Sam Raimi enough time to pack everything into his final installment, including the kitchen sink.  It was just too much.  There was more than one main villain; three if you count Harry’s (James Franco) ongoing pursuit of [...]

Spider-Man 2 Blu-ray Review

Friday, June 29th, 2012

SPIDER-MAN 2 has all of the elements that fans would expect from the second installment of a well-known superhero adventure: a girl he can’t love, a villain he can’t defeat, a personal choice he can’t make and the promise of a third installment that the viewing audience can’t ignore.  Although the sequel moves at a [...]

Leonardo DiCaprio, Joel Edgerton and Carey Mulligan in new images from The Great Gatsby

Wednesday, June 27th, 2012

We’re getting another look at Baz Luhrmann’s upcoming adaptation of THE GREAT GATSBY. Although it gives us nothing more than Leonardo DiCaprio looking a little crazy while on the phone, it does give us some more nice shots of those great costumes that we associate with Baz Luhrmann productions. It’s nice to see Leonardo DiCaprio [...]

Spider-Man Blu-ray Review

Monday, June 25th, 2012

In 2002, Marvel finally had the opportunity to challenge the success of DC’s movie adaptations of their caped crusader and the guy who was able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.  A most beloved comic book superhero was about to web-sling into Hollywood, leaving a trail of broken box office records in his [...]

Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire and Carey Mulligan in more new images from The Great Gatsby

Tuesday, June 12th, 2012

The internet has been so focused on Leonardo DiCaprio‘s performance in Quentin Tarantino’s DJANGO UNCHAINED that I’ve almost forgotten he has another high profile movie on the way this year, reteaming with his ROMEO & JULIET director Baz Luhrman in THE GREAT GATSBY.  And actually, DJANGO UNCHAINED and THE GREAT GATSBY come out within a [...]

Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan and Tobey Maguire live the high life in new trailer for The Great Gatsby

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2012

Even though his resume is relatively short, Baz Luhrmann is probably in my top five list of favorite directors. His films are always imaginative, over the top and are just plain fun to watch. Even if you don’t really enjoy the story or actual film (i.e. AUSTRALIA) the experience itself is just breath taking. Oh, [...]

Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, and Tobey Maguire are all in the first look at The Great Gatsby

Tuesday, December 13th, 2011

Posted by:Zack Bruce THE GREAT GATSBY was required reading while I was in high school. I had to then re-read it again when I got to college. The first time I read the novel, I wasn’t really fond of it. Then my English professor sophomore year told us that a second reading was required because once you [...]

Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan and Tobey Maguire in set photos from The Great Gatsby

Saturday, November 19th, 2011

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Filming on Baz Luhrman’s remake of THE GREAT GATSBY is underway down in Australia and today we get our first look at Carey Mulligan on the set.  We saw some earlier pictures of Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire riding around in a vintage car, but now we get to see them [...]

The Cider House Rules (Blu-ray)

Monday, October 24th, 2011

THE CIDER HOUSE RULES is a beautifully shot coming of age story about an orphan boy growing into a man and experiencing life beyond the protected walls of the orphanage for the first time in his life.  Dr. Wilbur Larch (Michael Caine) runs a somewhat…unique…hospital that caters to both women who want to deliver their [...]

Superman, Spider-Man, Back to the Future and the top ten most awkward kisses in film

Saturday, October 8th, 2011

by Nathan Swank When I was in 8th grade, a girl had her friends ask my friends if I liked her.  You can imagine my elated glee upon this news and I swiftly asked her if she would “go with me.”  Now this phrase in 8th grade basically means we will talk on the phone [...]

Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire and Baz Luhrman on the set of The Great Gatsby

Thursday, August 25th, 2011

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Filming is underway in Australia for Baz Luhrman’s remake of THE GREAT GATSBY and we already have our first images of Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire on set, driving around in a very spiffy car (sorry, I don’t know my cars well enough to tell you what kind it is).  Baz [...]

Nicole Kidman is in, Tobey Maguire and Sofia Vergara are out of Lee Daniels’ The Paperboy

Tuesday, June 28th, 2011

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Since his film PRECIOUS: BASED ON THE NOVEL PUSH BY SAPPHIRE debuted to rave reviews a couple of years ago, Lee Daniels has been a hot commodity in Hollywood.  Unfortunately, he can’t seem to get any projects off the ground.  His civil rights project SELMA fell through, but THE PAPERBOY is [...]

Joel Edgerton joins Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan in The Great Gatsby

Tuesday, May 17th, 2011

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant After the good, but slightly overrated ANIMAL KINGDOM, Joel Edgerton has been a hot commodity in Hollywood.  He was rumored to have the lead in THE BOURNE LEGACY all but locked up, but that eventually went to Jeremy Renner.  Then he got the lead in Katherine Bigelow’s KILL BIN LADEN, which [...]

Zac Efron, Matthew McConaughey, Tobey Maguire and Sofia Vergara join The Paperboy

Saturday, May 14th, 2011

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Lee Daniels received much warranted praise after his debut film PRECIOUS, but has found getting a follow-up off the ground to be rather challenging.  It seems the director has been attached to several films since the release of PRECIOUS, but hasn’t managed to get any of them made.  But Cannes is [...]

Tobey Maguire reteams with Ang Lee in Life of Pi

Saturday, April 9th, 2011

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant We haven’t heard much from Tobey Maguire the last few years.  After starring in BROTHERS in 2009, the former Peter Parker has been unusually quiet.  But he’s just signed on to take a role in Ang Lee’s long gestating and overly ambitious film LIFE OF PI.  The film follows an Indian [...]

Ben Affleck circling role in The Great Gatsby with Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan

Friday, April 8th, 2011

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Reports have surfaced that Ben Affleck is circling the role of Tom Buchanan in Baz Luhrmann’s next film THE GREAT GATSBY. The Academy Award winning actor/director/writer is currently in negotiations but has a scheduling conflict he needs to work out. Looks like his next directorial project ARGO is part of the [...]

Bradley Cooper wants a part in Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby

Monday, March 14th, 2011

Posted by:Kristy Sturdivant It’s hard for people to identify with movie stars most of the time, but when we hear that actors and actresses are trying to get roles in films they are not up for, it makes them seem a little more like real people (just a little). Bradley Cooper wants a part in [...]

Alex Pettyfer, Jake Gyllenhaal and Twilight’s Kellan Lutz potentials for The Bourne Legacy

Friday, February 25th, 2011

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant We all knew that with the success of the other Bourne films that another one was going to get made and the next installment will be called THE BOURNE LEGACY. It will be directed by Tony Gilroy who actually helped write the first films but ended up hating what Paul Greengrass [...]

Is Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby going to be scrapped?

Tuesday, February 1st, 2011

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant One of the big projects that has been simmering on the back burner is Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation of THE GREAT GATSBY. So many great actors and actresses have been attached or interested because they know that Mr. Luhrmann’s visions are grand and beautiful and surely a joy to participate in. However, [...]

Gerard Butler and Antoine Fuqua pursued for Afterburn

Tuesday, November 16th, 2010

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Gerard Butler and Antoine Fuqua are in talks to team up for the sci-fi film AFTERBURN.  AFTERBURN is based on a Red 5 comic about life after the sun flares up and wipes out half of the Earth.  The survivors become treasure hunters who go around scavenging what’s left. The original [...]

Tobey Maguire to star in Good People

Wednesday, September 29th, 2010

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant After SPIDER-MAN 4 fell through for Tobey Maguire and Sam Raimi, we haven’t heard much from Tobey as far as what he’s going to do next.  Aside from Spidey, Maguire tended to gravitate more towards the artsy, dramatic roles and he seems to be keeping with that trend with GOOD PEOPLE, [...]

Cats & Dogs (Blu-ray)

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

I have two golden retrievers and a border collie of my own and as cute as they were as puppies, even I have to admit that there is nothing cuter than a Beagle puppy.  The CATS AND DOGS filmmakers knew this as well, which is why they chose a Beagle puppy as the star of [...]

Blu-ray Release of Cats and Dogs on July 20th

Friday, March 26th, 2010

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant With the sequel, CATS & DOGS: THE REVENGE OF KITTY GALORE, coming out on July 30th, it is only natural that Warner Home Video would release the original 2001 CATS & DOGS in all it’s Blu-ray glory around the same time.  The first CATS & DOGS  will be coming at you [...]

Marc Webb is officially directing the new Spider-Man movie

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Hot off the announcement that they’d be scrapping the planned SPIDER-MAN 4 with Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire, Sony today announced that Marc Webb will officially be directing their new Spider-man franchise.  Webb, whose only previous work of note at this point is the wonderful 500 DAYS OF SUMMER, will start [...]

Sony Rebooting the Spider-Man franchise, say goodbye to Tobey Maguire and Sam Raimi

Monday, January 11th, 2010

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant I’m a little devastated about this news.  I’m not completely upset that Sony is getting a new director, but I’m really angry that they’re starting over.  It’s too soon and I think there’s still stories that need to be told before we start rebooting the whole thing.  And get the kid [...]

Brothers

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

In my short time as a military wife I remember clearly the few brief discussions I had with my husband about him deploying overseas.  Although I was blessed and fortunate to never have to deal with watching a loved one go to war, I remember the subject always looming in the back of my mind.  [...]

Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire Eying The Third Man Remake

Saturday, October 24th, 2009

Posted by: Sturdy It’s strictly rumor at this point, but it looks like Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire could be remaking the classic Carol Reed film THE THIRD MAN.  Steven Knight (EASTERN PROMISES) is already working on the script. Again, these things have to be taken with a grain of salt.  It could be announced [...]
