When someone disagrees with you on a very intellectual or existential film, it’s easy to resort to telling them “you just didn’t get it”. Even though that’s sometimes true, it’s insulting to whoever you’re debating with because what you’re essentially saying is; “I’m smarter than you because I like this movie”. I find myself in [...]

It’s hard to believe there was a time that Tom Hanks was better known for his comedic, and then dramatic, turns as an actor than for his work behind the camera. One of his first forays into behind the screen work, THAT THING YOU DO!, was a classy and beautiful homage to the original boy [...]

If I was going to redo my ten most anticipated movies of 2013 list, I would add CAPTAIN PHILLIPS to the top of the list, based solely off of this trailer. I’ve missed Tom Hanks in these type of Oscar-worthy performances. Sure, I loved CLOUD ATLAS, but his role as the captain of the US-flagged [...]

After a surprisingly long delay from the time it hit theaters, Warner Bros. has officially announced and detailed the Blu-ray release of CLOUD ATLAS. You can own CLOUD ATLAS on Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and Digital Download on May 14th. The ambitious film from The Wachowskis and Tom Tykwer was probably the most polarizing film [...]

You may remember way back in August when we reported that Tom Hanks was producing a film about the JFK assassination called PARKLAND. Well, news is heating up as today it’s been reported that Zac Efron (THE PAPERBOY, HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL) has signed on to join the film and will portray Dr. Charles ‘Jim’ Carrico. [...]

When I think of some of the better baseball movies out there, most people don’t think of A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN, but they probably should. The film about the first women’s baseball league is a quality sports movie with great characters, great performances and a feel-good story. Distraught that all of their best baseball [...]

Based on David Mitchell’s popular novel, CLOUD ATLAS is an extremely ambitious film following several characters throughout different historical time periods spanning from as early as 1850 to the distant future. Using an all-star cast including Tom Hanks, Halle Berry and Jim Broadbent to present several thematic issues about the impact individual’s choices have on [...]

One of the films that has raised a lot of discussion and excitement in my house is the upcoming feature from The Wachowski’s entitled CLOUD ATLAS. I have to admit that I’m not the one who is overly excited about the film, but after watching this featurette I’m definitely more interested in catching this movie [...]

Every year there seems to be at least one film that divides critics and audiences alike. Last year, it was THE TREE OF LIFE. This year, I think that movie is going to be CLOUD ATLAS. The story is virtually impossible to describe, but it spans generations and focuses on two souls that are always [...]

One of the more interesting films coming out this fall will be The Wachowski film CLOUD ATLAS, which stars Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Jim Sturgess and many other actors who play multiple characters. The plot sounds pretty complicated, but The Wachowski’s are pretty good at making the complicated easy for the audience to understand so [...]

Next month The Wachowski’s epic film CLOUD ATLAS hits theaters and today we’re getting a new poster for the film that feels very STAR WARS-like. All our major players, Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Jim Sturgess, Hugh Grant and Jim Broadbent are all clustered together in a group and there is this strange illuminating background that [...]

Last November, we reported that Tom Hanks picked up the rights to Erik Larsen’s non-fiction book ‘In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror and an American Family in Hitler’s Berlin’, about an American ambassador named William Dodd living in Berlin before WWII. Personally, I was excited about the project, thinking it might be the vehicle [...]

Next month the new film from The Wachowski’s, CLOUD ATLAS, hits theaters and though this trailer is significantly shorter than the first 6-minute one that was released, I think it’s a little better. We still get to see Tom Hanks, Jim Sturgess, Halle Berry and Jim Broadbent, but somehow this trailer makes CLOUD ATLAS much [...]

Anytime Tom Hanks is attached in any form to a project you know it’s going to be pretty good. Tom Hanks tends to do projects based on past historical events (BAND OF BROTHERS, THE PACIFIC) and it looks like his next project PARKLAND is no different. Directed by Peter Landesman, PARKLAND will follow the events [...]

After Oskar Schell (Thomas Horn) loses his father (Tom Hanks) in the World Trade Center terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, the young boy becomes obsessed with finding out to what a hidden key of his father belongs.

If you’ve been a key part of one of the longest running, most successful franchises in movie history, you’d probably be a little skittish about branching out and building a free-standing career.

EXTREMELY LOUD AND INCREDIBLY CLOSE is a depressing film about a boy that loses his father during the attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001 and his efforts to hold onto his memory. When it comes to emotional drainers, we haven’t seen a movie as relentless as ELAIC in a long time. But the [...]
