It’s Thursday, so it’s time for another Dream Cast, and this week we’re doing something special in honor of the American holiday Fourth of July. I’ve always wondered why we haven’t gotten a big, juicy, emotional, dramatic, epic movie about the revolt of the British colonies in the New World, especially considering how many spectacular … more…
This is bittersweet to me: the evangelical boy “rockers” lose out on the weekend of their movie debut, but that means Tyler Perry in a fatsuit gets to win again: 1. Tyler Perry’s Madea Goes to Jail: $16.2 million (2nd week; drops 61%) 2. Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience: $12.5 million (NEW) 3. Slumdog … more…
As in the U.S., the U.K. debut of The Day the Earth Stood Still looks good at first glance, but it pales next to, say, last week’s bow of Madagascar 2… or even this second weekend of that animated flick, even after it took a big drop: 1. The Day the Earth Stood Still: £2.8 … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… It’s Mad Men meets Titanic! It’s what would have happened to Jack and Rose if they’d gotten off that ship together in New York! Leo turns into the man in the gray flannel suit! Kate turns into a suburban mom running for the shelter of her … more…

Dramatizes a bizarre moment in time with a straightforward aplomb that is devastating. You wish you could laugh at the insanity of it but the only emotional response is overwhelming rage and grief.
‘Love and a bit with a dog,’ that’s all audiences want, according to Philip Henslowe (Geoffrey Rush), owner of London’s Rose Theater. A bit of romance, a bit of comedy — isn’t that really all that movie audiences, too, are after? Shakespeare in Love has both in spades, and it’s the first film of its kind to win Best Picture since 1977’s Annie Hall.
A film of immense power and eerie beauty, James Cameron’s Titanic could only have been made now, not because of its technical requirements but because the cultural attitudes of the era in which it is set have come full circle to concern us again today.
Why isn’t Bill Paxton a bigger star than he is? Sure, he’s been in some of the biggest movies of all time: Twister and Aliens and True Lies and now Titanic. But I bet most moviegoers couldn’t put a name to his hunky everyman face…
