Round One of the 2014 Oscar Predictions

As 2013 races to a close, it’s time for the first round of Oscar predictions. 2013 started with a whimper with a truly slumping spring season that moved into a relatively disappointing summer slate of blockbusters (at least from a critical perspective). But the fall season hopes to make up for any inadequacies of the...

New Teaser Trailer and Poster for ENEMY

Not much has been released or even said about Enemy, the second work by Denis Villeneuve starring Jake Gyllenhaal since Prisoners, the powerful drama that premiered at TIFF on September 20th, 2013.

Second Trailer for OUT OF THE FURNACE is More Exciting, Just as Heartbreaking

Second Trailer for OUT OF THE FURNACE is More Exciting, Just as Heartbreaking

The second trailer for Out of the Furnace, the Scott Cooper film staring Christian Bale and Woody Harrelson, pounds its pulse a little more wildly then the first trailer, but overall still conveys the sense of despair and futility associated with poverty that the first one did.
