I’ve always maintained that Warner Bros Animation has had a solid track record with adapting DC properties into direct to DVD movies. The Dark Knight Returns, Flashpoint Paradox and All Star Superman are a few great examples of their work. Next on the agenda, is another Batman film in the form of Assault on Arkham. Only this time, there’s less …
Like some kind of mental nymphomaniac, I can’t get enough of having my mind screwed with. The last film to truly give me a good noggin rogerin’ was Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij’s Sound of My Voice, and now another lo-fi sci-fi flick has popped up that may just do the same. Writer/director James Ward Byrkit’s Coherence has been picking up tons of …
Confession time: I am not a fan of Melissa McCarthy. Sure she has her moments, but for every Bridesmaids there’s an Identity Theft. Her schtick of just being loud and obnoxious doesn’t really do it for me. There are tons of people who do love her work though, and if you find yourself in this number, then this trailer for Tammy is sure to …
Contrary to popular belief, I can actually feel more than just the craving for a full house steak gatsby. Out of all of these feelings though, heartbreaking sadness is generally not something I actively pursue in the movies I see. But some people – and I’m speaking from experience here due to being married to one – just love these …
It honestly doesn’t feel that long ago that word hit us of a new Batman series on the way. Only this time, it’d be taking a look at the future commish himself and Bat-ally, James Gordon. Since then, the show seems to have been rushed in production, scoring plenty of actors and crew along the way. And that can’t be …
It’s no secret that I happen to be a huge fan of the Star Wars: Clone Wars animated series, which outranks even the core films in my humble Sith Lord opinion. Over six seasons, that show evolved from fun Saturday morning fun into high-budget action with impressive storylines that were layered and deep. With the Clone Wars over, it’s time …
I first encountered Mads Mikkelsen back in 2004 in Antoine Fuqua’s King Arthur. He played the sword-swinging knight Tristan, who along with Ray Winstone’s Bors were the only remarkable characters in a rather unremarkable movie. With the exception of his bloody eyed turn as Bond villain Le Chiffre in Casino Royale and his current deliciously dark run as Hannibal Lecter on NBC’s Hannibal, Mikkelsen …
There are many films that are stuck in lengthy developments for ages. Director Richard Linklater’s latest film, Boyhood, is not one of them, despite taking more than a decade to make it to the screen. That’s because this is very unique in that Linklater intended for it to take this long. Starting in 2006, Linklater cast the then six-year old Ellar …
Cooking for your family is one of the most important responsibilities in daily life, …
