I quite liked Battle for Terra (opens in the U.S. on May 1; no U.K. release date has been announced yet) when I saw it at last year’s Tribeca Film Festival, when it had the gentler moniker of simply Terra. I guess that was too gentle: everyone likes a good war, right? I’m looking forward … more…

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… I think they should have just called it Connor Mead Is a Huge Asshole and been done with it. Also, they might have avoided incurring the wrath of Charles Dickens, whom I hope rises from the dead and goes on a zombie rampage throughout the boardrooms of … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Oh, the poor baby cannot get by selling bootlegged DVDs on the sidewalks of big bad New York City? Wait! But then he is given the chance to do something much more illegal and dangerous by Obi Wan Kenobi (Terence Howard). “So wut they gots rulez?” “Yes, … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Yeah, not November, like it says at the end of this trailer. This was supposed to be released last fall, and there’s a lot of wondering about why it wasn’t. And lemme tell ya, I saw the film last night, and… wow. The year-end awards stuff for … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Really, not safe for anyone, anywhere, anytime. You’ve been warned. This is from the fine demented folks at Troma, so we may assume that the trailer does not offer us all the “best” scenes, and that much more carnage, mayhem, and bodily fluid will be, er, on … more…

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Yeah, it’s one of those crotchety-old-man-learns-the-meaning-of-blah-blah-blah movies, but I’ve seen it, and it’s lovely. The kid is adorable, in a dark kinda Charlie Bucket way, and Michael Caine is fantastic, of course. It makes me mad, though, that the trailer ignores the fact that the wonderful David … more…
BUMPED UP: To note that I’ve added another screening this week: The Soloist (opens in the U.S. on April 24, and in the U.K. on September 11), the Jamie Foxx-Robert Downey Jr. movie about crazy musical genius. It’s from director Joe Wright (Atonement, Pride & Prejudice) and screenwriter Susannah Grant (Catch and Release, Charlotte’s Web, … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Can I just say: I love Tim Blake Nelson. He’s always amazing without every being showy about it — he just sneaks up on you and makes sure you can never, ever forget how amazing he is. American Violet opens in the U.S. on April 17; no … more…
