Master auteur David Cronenberg (The Fly, Crash, A History of Violence, A Dangerous Method) is taking audiences on another journey out to the edge of sanity with his new film COSMOPOLIS. Robert Pattinson plays Eric Packer, a millionaire who leaves his penthouse in Manhattan to get a haircut across town. What begins as an ordinary limo ride to get to his destination soon turns into a deranged detour as he [read...] 
We couldn’t do our Don Siegel retrospective without reviewing the film that features one of the international icons of popular cinema… Clint Eastwood plays “Dirty” Harry Callahan a rebellious San Francisco police homicide inspector who is investigating the killing of a woman by a serial killer called Scorpio (Andrew Robinson) a character who was inspired by the real Zodiac killer that was from the same area. Harry’s wreckless methods of [read...] 
What better time to re-release Steven Spielberg’s 1975 blockbuster classic than at the height of the summer? It is legendary today as the movie that nearly sank his career due to the myriad of production problems with the mechanical shark they nicknamed “Bruce” (after his lawyer). The rookie filmmaker later had to employ more Hitchcockian techniques to make the movie work the way it did. I think it’s safe to [read...] 
In the fourth installment of the Bourne series of espionage thrillers, Jeremy Renner (The Town, The Avengers) takes over where Matt Damon left off, playing Aaron Cross, another highly skilled, deadly operative that is brought into play to deal with the consequences of Jason Bourne’s actions concerning The Treadstone organization. From this teaser trailer it looks like Renner has enough of his own panache to easily make audiences forget about [read...] 
Walter Hill got his start in film as an assistant director on Bullitt (1968), The Thomas Crown Affair (1968) and Woody Allen’s screwball crime comedy Take The Money and Run (1969). He then moved on to writing screenplays for such classics as Robert Culp’s Hickey & Boggs (1972) and Sam Peckinpah’s The Getaway (1972) as well as two Paul Newman vehicles: The Mackintosh Man (1973) and The Drowning Pool [read...] 
In our second article on David Fincher, guest author Marcos Rodriguez takes a critical look at The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Read Peter’s analysis of The Game and Fight Club from yesterday. Let me begin with a coda: I am not a fan of David Fincher. At all. Which isn’t to suggest I don’t respect him (thanks “Kill Bill Vol. 1″). As cold and mechanical as they may feel [read...] 
FILM REVIEW In between making his hit films The Godfather Parts 1 and 2, Francis Ford Coppola chose to develop an original screenplay he had written several years earlier. This was, like his 1969 film The Rain People another of his smaller, more personal works and very much an example of the kind of movie he wanted to continue to do throughout his career. The Conversation was inspired in [read...] 
“I said this was gonna be a simple in and out, well simple just shit itself” Writer-Director Kevin Smith established his career by making dialogue heavy comedies for comic book and film geeks of my generation. While I’ve never been a particularly big fan (I’m more of a Tarantino geek), I’ve enjoyed a few of his films here and there over the years, my favorites being Clerks and Dogma. For [read...] 
When the Literary Master of Horror meets Film’s Master of Horror, it’s a recipe for some truly furious cinema. That’s exactly what the result was with John Carpenter’s 1983 adaptation of Stephen King’s best selling novel Christine, another female titled tale like Carrie that dealt with the supernatural. In this case the gal in question was a demonically possessed 1958 Plymouth Fury. Thurston Harris’ good time 1957 rock n’ roll [read...] 
John Cusack is one of those actors I grew up watching. What a great career he’s had from the 80s teen classics like Better Off Dead, One Crazy Summer and Say Anything to modern offbeat films like Being John Malkovich, High Fidelity and The Ice Harvest. In The Raven Cusack takes on what is sure to be one of his most unique starring roles as the author Edgar Allen Poe. [read...] |
