Take a look back at an old trailer… Interesting… this trailer actually features music from the actual score of the movie. That never happens, at least not in recent years. You’ll often hear music from another movie, an older movie, over a trailer for a different film, because trailers are typically cut today before a … more…
Plus: taking back the chick flick, Hollywood hates women, and more. Yup, it’s The Week in Women, once again, my regular weekly column over at the Alliance of Women Film Journalists. Have fun.
Oh, for the last bloody time: Fuck. The. Insurance. Companies. And. The. Blood. Soaked. Profits. They. Rode. In. On. Seriously. Why doesn’t Obama just say, “Look, I’ve bent over fucking backwards for these parasites, and still they won’t quit their bitching. Have they no mercy? Have they no shame? So I’m done. I tried to … more…
The cute is brung:
We know how it is: You’d like to go to the movies this weekend, but there’s all this vengeance to be doled out and all those injustices to be put right. But you can have a multiplex-like experience at home with a collection of the right DVDs. And when someone asks you on Monday, “Hey, … more…
Friday fun! Here’s a screen capture from one of the DVDs in my collection (and it’s definitely from a movie, not a TV show). Guess the movie for fun and, well, fun. No prizes, just bragging rights. But hey: one guess per comment — no fair hogging all the guesses.
I really wish the U.K. box office numbers were available earlier in the week…: 1. Up: £6.4 million (NEW) 2. Zombieland: £1.2 million (NEW) 3. The Invention of Lying: £1.1 million (2nd week; drops 38%) 4. Fame: £.91 million (3rd week; drops 49%) 5. Love Happens: £.56 million (NEW) (actual numbers, not estimates) Unsurprisingly, the … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… This is one of the more striking trailers I’ve seen in a long while. I certainly expect something visually dramatic from the film, which is the directorial debut of fashion designer Tom Ford: if we can’t expect visual drama from a fashion designer, what’s the point of … more…
Will there be a bigger disappointment for me this year than Spike Jonze’s *Where the Wild Things Are*? Gosh, I hope not: I’m not sure my heart could take it.
Another Friday, another remake of a horror flick that didn’t really need to be remade. The Stepfather opens today (without benefit of press screenings, which is the SOP of late), but we’ve also had, in recent months, remakes of Sorority Row, Halloween II, and Friday the 13th. Now, it’s easy to understand why these movies … more…
