It’s not really clear where this will fit into the events of the next...

Justin Lin Brought On For BOURNE 5

You might not think you know the name Justin Lin but trust me, it’s right there at the tip of your tongue. He’s the guy who turned the Fast and Furious franchise from a joke into an empire, somehow winning over action junkies, international crowds, and even critics to the tune of billions. But now...

Weekly Review 32: IN A WORLD, DEAR ZACHARY, SOMM, 21 AND OVER

After an extremely busy week at the theater that saw reviews for Thor: The Dark World, Diana, and Dallas Buyers Club and screenings of Nebraska and Philomena – which I’ll write about next week – I got busy with some more at-home viewings, catching up with a couple of flicks from 2013 that had previously swooped...

Hugh Jackman to Return for WOLVERINE 3

I enjoyed The Wolverine, even though I had no delusions that it was a great movie, but now it looks like it will be the middle child of a trilogy of Wolverine movies. James Mangold, director of The Wolverine and 3:10 to Yuma, will return to direct Hugh Jackman for his eighth, yes eighth, run...
