Trailer for George Clooney's Oscar Hopeful THE MONUMENTS MEN

Trailer for George Clooney's Oscar Hopeful THE MONUMENTS MEN

George Clooney‘s Monuments Men screams Oscar. From the all-star cast, to the historical premise, to Clooney’s gilded track record behind the camera, I’d be surprised if it didn’t pull off at least five nominations and mostly a lot more – Best Picture, Best Director, Adapted Screenplay, Art Direction, Cinematography, Score, you name it, this has...

Trailer for James Gandolfini's ENOUGH SAID

The entertainment community suffered a staggering loss with the passing of James Gandolfini but luckily one final performance from the man most known for his gangster persona on The Sopranos remains to be seen in the indie film, Enough Said.

Joaquin Phoenix Loves an AI in Spike Jonze's HER Trailer

Joaquin Phoenix Loves an AI in Spike Jonze's HER Trailer

Spike Jonze is a brilliant filmmaker. From Adaptation to Being John Malkovich, Where the Wild Things Are to Jackass, he has a unique view of things, typically informed by the writing of Charlie Kaufman. While Her is not a collaboration with Kaufman, it is an original concept from Jonze that sounds kind of intriguing until...

First Look at Ginsberg Murder Mystery KILL YOUR DARLINGS

  Godawful poster aside, Kill Your Darlings is a film worth looking into. Actor Daniel Radcliffe seems to be doing everything in his power to expunge his association with the eponymous character from the Harry Potter saga, this time taking the mantle of the beatnik bard, Allen Ginsberg. The film centers around a murder that...

It's Hammer Time in Second THOR: THE DARK WORLD Trailer

After a host of teaser pictures, a first trailer and a rather dull poster, Thor: The Dark World returns to the internet world to excite the feeble minds of the fanboy drones. While “superhero fatigue” is certainly a thing many bloggers experience, I have pretty much been onboard with the Marvel films up to this...
