Let’s not allow for any skepticism that a recent film blunder, also about a retro-spouse-heist based on a novel, may have provided Needless to say, the Jennifer Anniston-led Life of Crime — based on the James Ellroy novel — won’t hold a candle to Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest oeuvre.

Bringing us back to Frank Miller's black-n-white city of sin
We have been waiting patiently for some Sin City news ever since the scandalous poster above had all heads either turning or shaking.

Mad Max Fury Road might make you rethink your whole I’m-sick-of-redos stance on filmmaking, because this trailer looks really, really fucking cool. What it lacks in a young, pre-weirdo Mel Gibson it more than makes up for in using original director/visionary George Miller who boasted during San Diego Comic Con this past weekend that Mad Max wasn’t really […]

Can Jim Carrey, Jeff Daniels & the Farrelly Brothers pull it off?
Does this really need any introduction? Jim Carrey returns to reprise arguably his greatest character, Lloyd Christmas, in Dumb and Dumber To, with of course Jeff Daniels in tow. No one needs a hit more than the Farrelly Brothers, so let’s see if they’ve still got the magic. Dumb and Dumber To hits theaters November 14th […]

Starring boy-genius Hiro & his robot creation Baymax
Maybe a piece of you is kind of over the supehero blockbuster, as Grantland opined. And maybe a part of you wrote off Disney as a lot of lame sauce long ago. But that was probably before you heard that Disney had decided to tap its Marvel resources for the most Disney-esque property in their […]
