All this week! 5 movies I’m psyched for in September, and 5 reasons why. No. 2: Righteous Kill [opens wide September 12]. 1. Pacino! DeNiro! They’re cops! 2. In the trailer, DeNiro suggests the scumbag they’re trying to find is a “cop serial killer.” Which means we’re gonna spend the whole movie wondering whether Al … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… I’m not crazy about Claire Forlani — she always seems so damn cold to me — but the presence of the luscious Sophia Myles more than makes up for that. And Jamie Bell is one of the most talented young actors working today. Plus, the whole … more…
Not much. It’s a slowish week leading up to Labor Day weekend. The weather is positively lovely in NYC for the last week of August — it’s not disgustingly sticky at all, like it usually is — and yet it still feels like everyone is holding her breath waiting for everything to turn serious again … more…
All this week! 5 movies I’m psyched for in September, and 5 reasons why. No. 1, my current official psyched-for flick: Burn After Reading [opens wide September 12]. 1. It’s September. You know what the state of comedy is going to be in September? Another Tyler Perry movie. I kid you not. We’ll be desperate … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Aw, it’s the loneliness of the international hitman. I’m expecting a poignant, pathos-laden tale of how the doers of morally questionable deeds find themselves in gray maelstroms of doubt, guilt, and interpersonal isolation. Well, that, or an adrenline-fueled heart-pumping brain-thumping orgy of nonstop ultraviolence. From what … more…
I’d love to think that the fact that Tropic Thunder beat out two other movies that could be seen as emblematic of the kind of Hollywood nonsense writer-director-star Ben Stiller is satirizing is a hint of the beginning of a swing in what audiences want to see, but I suspect that’s ridiculously optimistic. Still, the … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Yes, it’s Christopher Eccleston day here at FlickFilosopher.com. I’m highly intrigued to see if he can pull off an American character — not to mention an American accent, which I don’t think I’ve heard him do before — because he seems so British to me. Also: … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Oh man, this looks like an awesome parody of right-wing idiocy! Wait: you mean this is meant to be a sendup of the left wing? I don’t understand. Are any of us commie pinko libruls slaveowners? Were commie pinko libruls ever slaveowners? Oh, I forgot: Michael … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Or as I like to call it, Escape From the Fifth Element. I’m being told that this one won’t screen for critics, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t screening for other people, like those who will interview cast and crew for promotional purposes. And some of … more…
By now you’ve probably heard that Warner Bros. has pushed the release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince back from this coming November to July 2009. The reason (as noted at Film.com) has to do with the writers’ strike, according to Warner Bros. CEO Alan Horn: Our reasons for shifting Half-Blood Prince to summer … more…
