I am mixed about this teaser trailer of Godzilla. One one end, WB has assembled a great cast of actors with serious cred like Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad), Juliette Binoche (The English Patient), Ken Watanabe (Inception), Sally Hawkins (Blue Jasmine) and Elizabeth Olsen (Martha Marcy May Marlene) to name a few. On the other end, after watching what Guillermo del Toro did with the monsters from the sea in ‘Pacific Rim‘, can anyone else imagine surpassing those visuals? I get it, we now get the original sea monster, but WB should’ve gotten Del Toro to direct Godzilla because now, Godzilla looks like ‘Pacific Rim: The Sequel‘. The surprise factor is gone, but perhaps the acting and the gravitas of the film will make it a different experience. I’d have to see it to evaluate properly, but for now, I’m ambivalent. Read More

As a revenge drama, Out of the Furnace offers solid performances and an intriguing story, but its goal of greatness falls slightly short. Directed by Scott Cooper (Crazy Heart), the film tries to tell a searingly realistic story of brotherly bond and betrayal in a declining American steel town. Read More

Here is the first international trailer of The Amazing Spider-Man 2! It’s a thrilling trailer a bit shorter than the domestic but it packs a punch! It starts off excellently and it’s great to see 3 villains in the mix, even though it worries me since superhero films with too many characters bloats the story. I think the film will do huge box office numbers and break the $752,216,557 it made worldwide with its first part. Read More

For those who don’t know what the National Board of Review is, they are an nonprofit organization founded in 1909 in New York City, just 13 years after the birth of cinema. In 1930, the NBR was the first group to choose the ten best English-language movies of the year and the best foreign films. Today they chose their best in movies for 2013 and I can’t disagree more with them in many, not all, of their categories. Many of these winners won’t even stick come Oscar time. I belong to the BFCA and NYFCO and will make sure that my votes correct these mistakes, in my opinion. Read More
