Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Oh boy. A comedy about home invasion and spousal abuse? Can it work? I hope the movie addresses the situation that the Tim Hutton character brings up, how his wife Meg Ryan makes more money than him and is physically stronger than him, etc — because that’s … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… I guess this is cool and all, but why does it feel really familiar? Should I have been getting flashes of The Lord of the Rings from a story set in the ancient world? Maybe I’m just worn out from these kinds of movies. I’ll certainly see … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… It’s Planes, Trains and Automobiles, but sad (or sadder), and with Robert DeNiro. Hopefully not doing his crazy-dad Meet the Parents schtick. It looks like not, but you never know. Everybody’s Fine opens in the U.S. on December 4, and in the U.K. on February 19, 2010.
Probably the Brits were even more pissed about the trashing of Dickens: 1. A Christmas Carol: £1.9 million (NEW) 2. Michael Jackson’s This Is It: £1.4 million (2nd week; drops 52%) 3. Up: £1.3 million 4. The Men Who Stare at Goats: £1.2 million (NEW) 5. The Fourth Kind: £.85 million (NEW) (actual numbers, not … more…
Fun for Wednesdays! We look at an image from an upcoming movie or TV show and write snarky, witty, or otherwise entertaining captions for it. No prizes, it’s just for fun. OMG OMG OMG New Moon is gonna be here next week OMG OMG OMG: What’s it all about? Following Bella Swan’s ill-fated 18th birthday … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… As I tweeted after I saw this last night, this is one of the rare movies that shoots for a modern noir feeling and actually achieves it. And this trailer is an excellent representation of that. The Missing Person opens in the U.S. on November 20; no … more…
And there I’ve gone and spoiled The Fourth Kind again, at least according to Cole Abaius at Film School Rejects. Yesterday, he posted a long complaint about how elitist film critics who don’t really love film but love feeling all insider-y have ruined this movie by highlighting — sometimes in the headlines of our reviews, … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Sometimes… good cops go bad. Beautiful: “What are these iguanas doing on my coffee table?” –Nicolas Cage. “There ain’t no iguanas.” –Val Kilmer. And: “Shoot him again — his soul is still dancing.” –Nicolas Cage. I think I’ve got some entries in the year’s worst dialogue… or … more…
But Precious is precious indeed: 1. A Christmas Carol: $30 million (NEW) 2. Michael Jackson’s This Is It: $13.2 million (2nd week; drops 43%) 3. The Men Who Stare at Goats: $12.7 million (NEW) 4. The Fourth Kind: $12.2 million (NEW) 5. Paranormal Activity: $8.3 million (4th week in wide release; drops 50%) actual numbers, … more…
Woo-hoo! It’s the end of the world — again — as Roland Emmerich knows it, and I feel fine. Oh, there can be no question that this is crap, but will 2012 (opens in the U.S. and the U.K. on November 13) be glorious crap? I think it might be. I hope it might be. … more…
