EB White’s Charlotte’s Web is one of the most beloved children’s books of all time. It has previously been adapted into a musical cartoon, but everything old gets remade again in Hollywood, and now there’s a live action version hitting theaters this weekend. There’s an all-star cast of animal voices, but the lead human is … Continue reading
The Good German opens this Friday, December 15th. Set in the days after the end of WWII, Steven Soderbergh’s latest film is a stylish foray into 40s filmmaking starring George Clooney, Cate Blanchett and Tobey Maguire. We’re happy to bring you a very cool contest whose grand prize is perfect for putting you in the … Continue reading
George Clooney works a room from the second he walks in. Wearing a t-shirt that covers a back brace (that Syriana injury is still bothering him), Clooney entered my roundtable room at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel like it was filled with old buddies, like it was the one he was waiting for all day. This is … Continue reading
Here’s a testament to Will Smith’s inherent charisma: I would have despised The Pursuit of Happyness if it wasn’t for him. The film is the story of a man who is essentially dumb, and it has a right wing anti-homeless vibe running throughout it. And that’s not even addressing the movie’s inherently sappy and manipulative … Continue reading

I never thought I would see the day, but a movie poster has made me nauseous. I’ve been made sick to my stomach by a poster. Of course it’s for an Eli Roth movie. The film is Hostel: Part II, and it’s the international poster that premiered at IGN. You can see some of it … Continue reading
I just got an email with a “scoop” attached that is like the culmination of a great “Oh Don Piano” story. For those of you playing at home, an “Oh Don Piano”* story is where a celeb is at a junket and gets asked a bullshit, pointless question, like, “Would you do a sequel to … Continue reading
Early Saturday morning weary journalists assembled for the junket for We Are Marshall, the upcoming film based on the true story of Marshall University, which had its whole football team wiped out in one plane crash. Matthew Fox was there; he plays Red Dawson, a coach who survived only because he gave up his seat … Continue reading
Forty-five minutes into Home of the Brave the movie made its way onto my Worst of the Year list. It could have been placed there within the first fifteen minutes, but I was feeling charitable and decided to give the film a chance to redeem itself. My patience was rewarded with a motion picture that … Continue reading
