Because nothing sells tickets like a poet and his friends getting stinking drunk for two hours, here comes The Best Time Of Our Lives, the biopic of celebrated Welsh optimist and drinker Dylan Thomas. If he can get his schnozz out of the tumbler for at least a scene, you might recognize Matthew Rhys from … Continue reading
The Adventure Begins.
Rod Lurie has a film on the CHUD Essentials list (Deterrence). Now he’s remaking a movie that could have been a contender (oh snap, pun intended) for that list – Straw Dogs. And he’s remaking it for the House that Shitty Movies Built: Screen Gems. I have to admit I don’t understand the point of … Continue reading
Today marks the arrival of the first real Ocean’s Thirteen trailer. It’s similar in tone and format to the teaser everyone’s seen, but it gives more background as to what the caper is this time and why they’re getting together again under even riskier circumstances to make it happen. There’s a neat visual flourish or two, some … Continue reading
If you’ve been paying any attention to the site lately, then you’ve probably already read our damn good back and forth with Will Arnett and Amy Poehler regarding Blades of Glory. Hilarious stuff. And if you were on the fence about the film, that probably did a lot to push you over toward seeing it. … Continue reading

Today’s top story, by virtue of it being the one I’m writing about first, regards a question that has been nibbling at the back of all our minds since the first PS3 prototype went on display.

Patrice Leconte is a masterful director of underwhelmingly perfect movies, and I’ve a feeling that this innocuousness is going to serve him well in the American market, though it doesn’t appear he’ll have much, if anything, to do with Hilary Swank’s remake of Intimate Strangers, which, by the way, was even more inconsequential than The … Continue reading
