You can almost hear the sighs of relief emanating from Hollywood. This weekend, traffic at the multiplexes picked up after a long stretch of historic slowdowns worse than those we usually see at the end of summer. But even with summerlike weather across much of the country this weekend and Hurricane Ike keeping a huge … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… It’s Unforgiven meets Shanghai Noon… without the laughs! This is the second movie from Ed Harris as a director (after 2000’s Pollack), and — kidding aside — it looks like my kind of movie, full of action and emotion and, well, Viggo Mortensen. I have to … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… A girl’s coming-of-age plus hot-button ethnic issues plus that cast (Aaron Eckhart, Maria Bello, Toni Collette), and it’s all from Alan Ball? Excellent! I missed every damn screening of this, but I hope to catch it once it opens. Towelhead opens in limited release September 12.
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… I nominate “It’s not you I don’t trust — it your private thoughts that give me pause” as one of the worst lines of the year. (And, oh yeah, I have been collecting notable quotes all year long, and I’ll post what I have so far … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Please remove your hats and stand for this trailer: Did you count them? Not one, not two, not three, not four: Five. Five stories ripped from the Hallmark Channel by way of the 700 Club. In IMAX. With the stars-and-stripes waving behind them. And Toby Keith … more…
That’s a very disturbing poster for Choke [opens wide September 26] over there. But this is based on a novel by Chuck Palahniuk, so I guess it was always going to make for a disturbing movie. In it, apparently, Sam Rockwell is a con artist obsessed with sex and faking his own imminent death. Yup, … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… It’s a redband, so maybe NSFW, unless you work somewhere really cool: Aw, and it’s nostalgic: “the porn I liked when I was a kid…” Sweet. It’s Kevin Smith-a-riffic. I might even like Seth Rogen in this. And yes, Han Solo surely did have sex with … more…
Ugly is the only word for the abysmal performance of just about everything at North American multiplexes this past weekend. Variety says it the “shakiest start in years” for the fall box office — things haven’t been this bad since 2000. Just look at how dismal these numbers are: 1. Bangkok Dangerous: $7.8 million 2. … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Gus Van Sant’s biopic of San Francisco politician Harvey Milk, starring Sean Penn, just got its first trailer: (Or watch best-quality trailers in different sizes at Apple.) That is one fantastic trailer. It manages to be light and humorous and celebratory even though the story the … more…
Oh, yeah, Nic Cage is so tough with his long hair and all the guns and his traveling around the planet to kill people for hire and his world-weary ennui, but he can’t face a few pathetic film critics? Yup, Bangkok Dangerous, the only new wide release today, was not screened in advance for us … more…
