Michel Gondry is definitely a hit or miss talent (he’s directed such masterpieces as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind amongst duds like The Green Hornet) but his latest film, Mood Indigo (L’Écume des jours), which is set in his home tongue of French, looks like a win to me. The vehemently indie flair...
Today, the Seattle International Film Festival unveiled its full lineup for this year’s festival. As this will be my first year covering it (and my first time covering any festival of this pedigree), I anxiously anticipated what the organizers had in store and the answers are pretty exciting.

For those of us who always have wanted to see Hermoine’s bad side unleased, Sofia Coppola‘s The Bling Ring will be sure a strike a chord.

I definitely feel like we’ve gotten very little respite from the sequel-mania dominating movie news of late but what can you expect at this time of year right before blockbuster super-season. This latest bit of massive studio film news comes as an alternative trailer for The Wolverine starring Hugh Jackman out of Japan courtesy of...
Dane DeHaan has emerged as one of the best young actors in the last few years with a handful of dark performances in films like Chronicle, Lawless and The Place Beyond the Pines. Well, DeHaan’s big ticket to stardom has appeared in his casting as Harry Osborn in the new The Amazing Spiderman franchise. This...
With the debut trailer arriving tomorrow, Marvel Studio is trying to churn up interest in Thor: The Dark World with this truly lackluster photo. Stars Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman seem to be having a jolly old time chilling in cloaks with their billowy locks tossed about but this isn’t exactly the epic god-of-thunder...
