Red 2 is the subsequent follow up to 2010’s cinematic action-comedy Red. After grossing over $90 million domestically, it was really only a matter of when they would make this film rather than if they would make a sequel. Fortunately, for us, it was sooner rather than later as again the sequel finds home to... Continue Reading →
The last few films released by Disney/Pixar have been disappointing to say the least. We all know it, there's no need to act like they haven't been. Cars 2 was a complete waste of time, and was the studio's first pure cash grab (and Rotten film on Rotten Tomatoes), and despite it's Oscar win, Brave was nothing more than... Continue Reading →
Sometimes Hollywood can be pretty revealing in terms of the projects that Directors pick to film. You can almost get to know their personalities just by watching their filmographies grow. Quentin Tarantino and David Fincher are two prime examples. For that reason alone, I've now got my eye on newcomer Sacha Gervasi, who previously directed... Continue Reading →
Alfred Hitchcock is one of the greatest auteurs in the history of cinema. I don’t think that point can be argued. My problem with creating a film about a sliver of Hitchcock’s life is, chances are you’re going to miss something incredibly important, right?

This is the first trailer for Hitchcock. It is very different from what I thought it would be. There is a lot of humor in the trailer, and I assume in the film as well. I love the line "By the way, try the finger sandwiches. They are real fingers." Anthony Hopkins looks good in... Continue Reading →

The main character is Pinkie, played by Sam Riley, who is some sort of low life kid who has gotten into a Brighton gang or mob. The film follows him and the events... Continue Reading →
As a time-spanning espionage flick, The Debt keeps you on the edge of your seat. With a brilliant cast and lots of hair-raising moments, this cool, dark thriller is just what you need as this unbearably hot summer comes to an end. Our story begins in 1997 in a Tel Aviv ballroom, where Rachel (Helen... Continue Reading →
Arthur is a remake of the original Arthur (1981). Instead of Dudley Moore as Arthur, we have Russell Brand, and Helen Mirren replaces John Gielgud as Hobson. Jennifer Garner, Greta Gerwig, Nick Nolte, Luis Guzman, and Geraldine James also star. The film looks funny and Russell Brand actually makes me laugh. I would also love... Continue Reading →
