THE KILLING Is Saved…Again!

THE KILLING Is Saved…Again!

Talk about being dragged through the wringer. The Killing has now undergone two cancellations and, thanks to Netflix, two revivals. The first season was received rather well by critics and audiences for its dark, dark look at the murder of a young girl in Seattle. But when the first season finale didn’t wrap up the...

Weekly Review 33: AFTER, FILM, HOST, STUFF, IMPOSTER, THELMA

I managed to get a lot of home watching in this week as there wasn’t a ton of screenings I had to attend with The Book Thief being the only film I saw in theaters, and while it had a lot going for it, was ultimately let down by clumsy melodrama. I also published my...

Out in Theaters: BLUE IS THE WARMEST COLOR

Despite how fleshed out Adèle, Emma, and their relationship are, we still only need to know them so well to get the message and three hours gives us a much…

Out in Theaters: THE BOOK THIEF

Closing the book on this slipshod endeavor, The Book Thief is a film divided against itself. There are many elements of the film deserving of love but director Brian Percival…

First Official Trailer for NOAH Sails In

First Official Trailer for NOAH Sails In

Noah suffered a bit of a leak yesterday with a handicam version of its trailer ravaging the web (thank God its nothing as serious as a leak in an ark). In a response to that leak, Regency has released the long awaited trailer for a saga centuries in the making. Based on the Biblical story...

MALEFICENT Gets a Fairy Tale Trailer

MALEFICENT Gets a Fairy Tale Trailer

Nipping at the heels of yesterday’s poster comes the first trailer for Disney’s Maleficent starring Angelina Jolie. Revealing a CGI-heavy world too reminiscent of this year’s piss-poor Oz: The Great and Powerful, this latest in a string of live action adaptations of classic Disney tales looks to be just another in a long list of...

First Poster and a Leaked Teaser for Aronofsky's NOAH

First Poster and a Leaked Teaser for Aronofsky's NOAH

Probably the most controversial film on the upcoming release slate is Darren Aronofsky‘s Noah. Famous for his bleak views into crumbling psyches, this isn’t gonna be the kiddy version of Noah and his animals zipadeedoda-ing on the merry sea. Since the beginning of the project, Aronofsky has said that his film will focus on survivor’s...

Angelina Jolie is Horny in Poster for MALEFICENT

Angelina Jolie is Horny in Poster for MALEFICENT

A twist on Disney’s classic animated feature Sleeping Beauty, Maleficent revolves around the “Mistress of All Evil,” here played by Angelina Jolie. Much like “Wicked” took the perspective of the Wicked Witch of the West, Elphaba, Malficent sees the story through the eyes of the antagonist, revealing just how she did become so evil after...
