You know Lars von Trier. He’s Danish. He’s controversial. He got booted from the 2011 Cannes Film Festival for saying he understood and sympathized with Hitler. He’s the man behind such movies as DANCER IN THE DARK, DOGVILLE, MANDERLAY, as well as the more recent ANTICHRIST and MELANCHOLIA. ANTICHRIST is noteworthy because of some good ol’ fashioned genital mutilation, and MELANCHOLIA is on the radar because, frankly, Spider-Man’s old girlfriend showed her naked parts. Now von Trier is hitting audiences …
Is it just me, or do we seem on the verge of zombie overload? I realize zombies are super cool nowadays and Zed is riding the wave of popularity along with superheroes and dystopian young adult fiction, but with books, video games, movies and AMC’s hugely popular series, THE WALKING DEAD, we are knee deep in zombiepalooza and I think the un-dead are about to be relocated to the fringe of coolness and their popularity is going the way of …
I’ve been giddy as a schoolgirl for this summer’s MAN OF STEEL ever since the teaser trailer debuted last summer in front of Christopher Nolan’s THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. It was bittersweet to know THE DARK KNIGHT Trilogy was finished and we’d never see Christian Bale don the cape and cowl again, but the promise of something else spectacular and tantalizing has been wonderful. I know they’re just trailers and high hopes can be easily crushed with some deceptive marketing for a …
GRADE: D Remember back in 2009 when audiences were abuzz about what tigers dreamed of, whether the said striped jungle cats preferred pepper over cinnamon, and exactly who was the tiny, naked violent Asian man springing from the Wolf Pack’s Mercedes? Cast your mind to 2011, when we wondered if this was a magic show, and where a chubby, bearded dude purchased his awesome golden lab t-shirt and how that and a traditional Chinese hat seem to be the perfect apparel …
Robert Downey Jr. is, without argument, one of the finest actors working today in Hollywood. He may have fallen completely from grace for a period with on-again, off-again substance abuse issues, but his resurgence, beginning in 2005, has made him a household name. He’s not only a stellar actor, but also a surefire bankable box office star. He brings charisma, wittiness, intensity, and his trademark cheery sarcasm – delivered with absolute pinpoint precision – to every character he portrays and, …
When your last two movies are the nauseating THE HAPPENING and the sack-punching THE LAST AIRBENDER, you do not, under any circumstances, use your name in the marketing material for promoting your movie. You keep it tucked away in the small print where nobody will ever know. Such is the case with M. Night Shyamalan and his new movie, AFTER EARTH, starring Will and Jaden Smith, and rightly so. After building some clout with critical and commercial successes such as THE …
When I was a kid, nothing – absolutely nothing – scared me more than Miss Almira Gulch, aka The Wicked Witch of the West, from the classic 1939 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer masterpiece, THE WIZARD OF OZ. Arguably the most-watched movie in history, there was something about her sinister sneer and evil cackle that gave me the willies, especially when Dorothy spies her inside the tornado, peddling outside the window of the uprooted Gale home. Despite having seen STAR WARS, JAWS, SUPERMAN and …
