It seems the serious filmmakers are now jockeying for position for the big awards, Sean Penn’s directing bid, “Into The Wild”, Brad Pitt’s role as Jesse James, and now George [...]

We all had high hopes for the remake of th western film, “3:10 To Yuma”. The consensus from my crack staff of movie reviewers, was that “Yuma” fell short. Although it did pretty well at the box office, the Russell Crowe film disappointed a lot western fans. Before it was released based on the tailer [...]

With all that went on this weekend, all the OJ developments and the Emmys, the weekend box office winner was overlooked. Warner Bros. captured the top spot with the vigilante thriller “The Brave One” last weekend grossing $13.5M. Jodie Foster’s film topped the charts bumping last weeks champ “3:10 to Yuma” to the runnerup spot. [...]

“3:10 to Yuma”, helmed by “Walk The Line” director James Mangold, based on the short story by Elmore Leonard. It’s a remake of “3:10 To Yuma” (1957), one of the great westerns of the 1950s. In the original, a ruthless outlaw (Glenn Ford) and the decent, hard-working rancher (Van Heflin) is determined to deliver him [...]

“Invasion”, starring Nicole Kidman, comes out this weekend. The trailer looks pretty good, and I like Nicole Kidman. It seems like the story has been done in different ways before.“Invasion of the Body Snatchers”, is the classic science fiction, about aliens invading the earth. “Invasion” is not a remake, but a modern day science fiction [...]

“Superbad” Trailer
“Superbad” is the tale of three goofy teen guys who scheme to buy booze and get girls, making dirty jokes all the while. For Judd Apatow, the writer-director behind “Knocked Up” and “The 40-Year-Old Virgin,” it was love at first read. But for years, he couldn’t get the movie made. He got the script [...]

Bourne Ultimatum Trailer
I’m not the biggest fan of the Bourne series, or Matt Damon as an action star. I did like the original Doug Liman movie, Bourne Identity. The last one totally sucked, I can’t believe they made another one, after that. The trailer for “Bourne Ultimatum” looks pretty good, however. I’m still not sure [...]
