Today’s been a big day for the Best Actress race. Not only has Natalie Portman exploded onto the scene, but we get our first look at Jessica Chastain’s newest attempt to get on the stage at the Kodak Theater, with the first trailer for Miss...
Around 11 pm last night, a high stakes bidding war broke out over Jackie, Chilean director Pablo Larraín’s well-received biopic of the 35th First Lady in the aftermath of her husband’s assassination starring a top-of-her-game Natalie...
The Toronto International Film Festival is in full swing, and we’re learning about the best films to see in the next four months. We know what’s great and what’s not, and what will be making an Oscar play come January. So, without further ado...
What a solid week of film viewing I’ve enjoyed. I actually didn’t see a bad film in the entire course of seven days. What a refreshing experience. You can read my review for Sully here, which surprisingly didn’t suck, and the other shows I viewed...
The first major festival has come to an end, and there is some evidence of how the rest of the season should shape up. While many awards were given out at this year’s Venice Film Festival, it is the Main Competition that tells us what we have to...
I don’t get it. A prequel to Ouija, the horror adaptation of the Ouija Board, should be terrible. I mean, the first one sucked, it’s based on the stupidest toy in history…I mean, what am I missing here? Oh yeah, it made $100 million because...
For years, The Weinstein Company was an Oscar Powerhouse. Thanks to Harvey’s handshaking and not-a-bribery, he managed to get nominated almost every year, from 2008 to 2014, in multiple categories, and even managed to get a win for The King’s...
I think it’s safe to say at this point that Ben Affleck is no longer a Hollywood joke. Despite a stellar coming out in Dazed and Confused and Good Will Hunting, which he also wrote and won the Oscar for, he spent many year languishing in...
One of the biggest question marks on the Oscar race this year is Terry George’s The Promise. A historical romance following a love triangle during the Armenian Genocide (because those two go together), critics are excited to see how the film is...
As the festival rages on up in Toronto, we’re going to start getting trailers from the films that have tentative dates to try to whip up some excitement. Despite a recent announcement that the film won’t be out until March 2017, Ben Wheatley’s...
There are very few film projects as uninteresting to me as the concept of a Sully movie. From the fact it’s a story I didn’t fully care about going in (a pilot ran into a flock of birds. That’s kind of the one thing you’re not supposed to do), to...
Do you remember the days of life-affirming real-world fantasies? Yeah, me neither. That’s because they haven’t been successful since the 1940s, when we got films such as Miracle on 34th Street, It’s a Wonderful Life and A Matter of Life and...
