Hitting theaters on March 9th is not only what looks to be a great movie, with a brilliant cast, but a film you can real cheer for just based on the writer/director. Friends with Kids is written and directed by Jennifer Westfeldt, and while being in a relationship with Mad Men's Jon Hamm for more than a decade probably doesn't hurt your career, she broke out as both a writer and actress with … [Read more...]
The Critics's Choice Movie Awards are only a couple of days away now, and I really hope you're going to be tuning in. I've cast my votes, the film's are great, and it's going to be a great time. The awards are Thursday, January 12th at 8:00 PM ET/PT on VH1, and I think they are going to be especially good this year. Among the usual fantasticness in store, it was recently announced that Sean … [Read more...]
It's that time of year again, and the award buzz is starting to heat up. The nominations are in for the Critics' Choice Movie Awards, and while not all my nominations made it, the vast majority of them did, which makes me feel pretty good about how the year is going to turn out for all the award shows. Take a look at the full press release below, and mark your calendar for January 12th! Let me … [Read more...]
Joss Whedon obviously likes to get his hands into a variety of projects, and now he's taking a shot at reworking the horror genre. The Cabin in the Woods, as you'll see from the trailer below, starts off in a way that is all too familiar, but we soon learn that there is a serious twist at work. If the trailer is any judge, it looks like this one is going to add some serious fun, and a new layer … [Read more...]
The Woman in Black has a new sneak trailer, and while it depicts a fairly creepy thriller, it also shows off Daniel Radcliffe in a way that is sure to delight many a moon-eyed lass. Radcliffe plays a young lawyer who travels to a remote village where he finds the ghost of a woman is terrorizing the locals... or whatever. Take a look below, and check out some links where you can get … [Read more...]

Not only will you receive some great Immortals gear, but also a pair of 3D Rogue glasses. If you haven't … [Read more...]
For those who aren't immediately taken with the idea of a film that focuses exclusively on the meeting between two sets of parents whose sons have been involved in a schoolyard fight, Carnage has a number of further sells you'll want to keep in mind. If nothing else, the film is bound to be worth it just to watch Christoph Waltz and John C. Reilly. Certain fans may be equally moved by the … [Read more...]
Mark you calendars for a film that is getting a lot of critical acclaim, and just looks like a great old time. Tilda Swinton and John C. Reilly star in a film about (apparently) an evil child and how a mother deals with... her evil child. Not exactly something that you want to save for that special date next January, but it is getting some buzz. A suspenseful and gripping … [Read more...]
Coming to you on October 14th is a film that, I predict, is going to surprise a lot of people. Father of Invention, Directed by Trent Cooper (don't let Larry the Cable Guy fool you), and starring Kevin Spacey, Heather Graham, Camilla Belle, Johnny Knoxville, Craig Robinson and Virginia Madsen, is the kind of film that may well prove just crazy enough to work. Given rather different … [Read more...]
I suppose there is some chance that a person might just be opposed to anything that presents itself as a political thriller/drama, but barring a genre-bias, I don't suppose people need a lot of convincing beyond learning the cast of The Ides of March. George Clooney is certainly enough of a draw, and Ryan Gosling picks up pretty well where he leaves off. Of course, I was actually referring to … [Read more...]
Speaking of Hung. Here's one for you that looks... interesting. Actually, it looks a little crazy, but I'm interested to see exactly where Thomas Jane goes with this. I MELT WITH YOU will be available on Magnolia On-Demand November 4 followed by its theatrical release on December 9th Richard (Thomas Jane), Ron (Jeremy Piven), Jonathan (Rob Lowe) and Tim (Christian McKay) are old college … [Read more...]
This one looks surprisingly good actually, though... different. Especially considering it's Heigl... that could just be me. Katherine Heigl brings Stephanie Plum - the popular heroine of Janet Evanovich's worldwide best-selling seventeen-book mystery series - to vibrant life in Lionsgate and Lakeshore Entertainment's ONE FOR THE MONEY. A proud, born-and-bred Jersey girl, Stephanie … [Read more...]

Few movies get the kind of marketing push we're seeing from The Hunger Games, especially this far out. Due out in March 2012, the film is already all that anyone seems to be talking about, and the release of a sneak peek hasn't changed things. The next, most fantastic thing ever, The Hunger Games is hoping to capitalize on immense popularity, and fill the franchise void left by things now over, … [Read more...]
On October 14th, a film is coming your way that deconstructs dysfunction in a way few efforts have dared. Fireflies in the Garden is the story of a seemingly regular family with a less than normal background reality. You might not guess it from the trailer actually, but the family is, to outward appearances, rather standard. Successful, but rather normal. As we dig deeper, it comes to light … [Read more...]
Coming your way October 28th, The Rum Diary is the next motion picture from the mind of Hunter S. Thompson, and the trailer looks awfully good. Based on the novel, this one finds us following Johnny Depp as Paul Kemp, as a New York journalist who goes to work for a newspaper in Puerto Rico. Filled with an assortment of alcohol, hallucinations... maybe, and a wild ride of a humble journalist … [Read more...]
