New Trailer: Disney’s ‘Frozen’

09.26.2013 | By |

In a really, really, really bad year for animated movies, we finally get to see, perhaps, the frontrunner to the Best Animated Feature at the Oscars – Frozen – from Walt Disney Animation Studios (Tangled, Wreck-It Ralph). Its toughest competitor will most likely be The Wind Rises by legendary animation director Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away, Howl’s Moving Castle). That film had a soporific effect on me that almost lulled me to sleep.  Read More

New Trailer: ‘Dom Hemingway’ Starring Jude Law, Demián Bichir

09.23.2013 | By |

Jude Law has never seemed to me like a leading star. A) He looks too pretty to me for me to take him seriously in a heavyweight role, B) He’s a tiny pinch of a man that looks like the wind would blow him away. Read More

Interview: Alfonso Cuarón talks ‘Gravity’

09.21.2013 | By |

Alfonso Cuarón has come a long way from the streets of Mexico City. He’s now a three time Oscar nominee and has never won. But what I’m betting is that Cuarón will win one this year for his masterpiece film – Gravity.

When you see the film, you can easily see the movie being nominated for 7 Oscar awards – Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actress, Best Cinematography, Best VFX and Best Sound Mixing.

Cuarón recently sat down for an interview in Los Angeles with DP/30 to talk about the conception of the film, the production, and the new technology that is so great that audiences won’t notice any seams in the magic.

The “1-4-0” Take: “Days of Thunder” is good, but “Rush” is arguably the best racing film you’ll see. It boasts a well-crafted script, excellent acting, and is thoroughly entertaining. Read More

The Family (Movie Review)

09.14.2013 | By |

The “1-4-0”: #TheFamily is a mafia movie with a funny bone. It surprisingly manages to be very entertaining with a good balance between comedy, action and suspense. Read More
