Trailer for Robert Redford's One Man Show ALL IS LOST

Trailer for Robert Redford's One Man Show ALL IS LOST

Gaining some incredible traction out of this year’s Cannes Film Festival, All is Lost is a supposed powerhouse. Starring Robert Redford and only Robert Redford, it follows a sailor trapped at sea. When a film gets as overwhelming positive response as this has, I make it my mission to learn as little about it as...

Trailer for AMERICAN HUSTLE Arrives

Just two days after our first look at David O. Russell‘s American Hustle, the trailer has hit the streets and the praises are written on the wall.

Knoxville Dons Old Man Wear for JACKASS PRESENTS: BAD GRANDPA

Knoxville Dons Old Man Wear for JACKASS PRESENTS: BAD GRANDPA

For all their blatant immaturity, the crew over at Jackass has proven to be a continuing source of laughter. Having single-handedly turned home-video entertainment from the innocent platform founded on America’s Funniest Home Videos into the internet and television culture of “fails”, Johnny Knoxville and company capitalize on our desire to see other’s in pain....

Ben Stiller's THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY Trailer

Ben Stiller's THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY Trailer

What many probably don’t know is that Ben Stiller is not just a face that appears in many of your favorite comedy classics as he’s also an acclaimed director… well at least in my eyes. He directed The Cable Guy with Jim Carrey, Zoolander and Tropic Thunder and now returns to the director’s chair in...

New Ensemble-Based ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT To Return to Netflix?!

New Ensemble-Based ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT To Return to Netflix?!

  Although reactions to the fourth season of Arrested Development were admittedly mixed, many people, myself included, found fault in the new format which saw characters taking on their own episodes, doing a “Where are they now? routine rather than the ensemble comedy we all knew and loved. Well it looks like we haven’t seen...

Out in Theaters: CRYSTAL FAIRY

Crystal Fairy is Silva's answer to indie comedy. Rather than getting wound up in dramatic, Silva lets his talented stars loose to dust comedy in generous handfuls. Mixed against broken…

Out in Theaters: BLUE JASMINE

Continuing down the checklist, Jasmine's romantic interests further the parallels to Streetcar. Like Blanche before her, Jasmine is an attractive, if past her prime, woman so she earns the attention…

Keanu Reeves Made a Samurai Movie That Looks Really Bad: 47 RONIN Trailer

Keanu Reeves Made a Samurai Movie That Looks Really Bad: 47 RONIN Trailer

With Keanu Reeve‘s directorial debut, 47 Ronin, he has held the wooden acting that has come to define his career in a movie essentially riffing off of 300, except with an army of warriors a fraction of the number. The production has already been plagued with setbacks, re-shoots, director shifts and Reeve’s acting so it’ll...
