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

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…

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...

Yet Another ROMEO AND JULIET Film, Watch the Trailer Now

Yet Another ROMEO AND JULIET Film, Watch the Trailer Now

It’s strange to think that Baz Luhrman‘s revelatory Romeo + Juliet is almost 20 years old so it kind of makes sense that perhaps the most filmed story in the history of the world is ripe for another installment in the 2000s. Carlo Carlei tackles the tale of star-crossed lover who commit the most silly...

Out in Theaters: FRUITVALE STATION

But Fruitvale Station doesn't bank on the brand of weepy, sentimental tearjerkers that leaves you with the bad taste of manipulation. It's something entirely different and entirely beautiful - a…

Out in Theaters: THE TO DO LIST

Out in Theaters: THE TO DO LIST

Even though it's dressed in a modge-podge of genre clichés, the breezy 90s settings, and the jokes derived from the inimitable hallmarks of that generation, gives enough life to hum…

Out in Theaters: THE WOLVERINE

Out in Theaters: THE WOLVERINE

Even from a visual standpoint, The Wolverine doesn't contain the bleak imagery of gritty affairs as Ross Emery frames everything in a splendor of picturesque Japanese vistas. In these choices,…

Newest Trailer for GRAVITY is Just One Single Shot

Newest Trailer for GRAVITY is Just One Single Shot

Alfonso Cuaron, director of Children of Men, Y Tu Mama Tambienand Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, is a bold filmmaker that challenges the borders of traditional filmmaking. He’s an artist with a vision so exact that he will invent technologies in order to get the kind of shot that he wants – take...
