Would you ever have thought that Woody Allen would be teaming up with Barranquillera Sofia Vergara in a movie? The mere thought is already funny and they’re not even the lead stars. The real protagonist is John Turturro who directs and stars. Read More

I thought this movie would never get made. I never thought Sylvester Stallone would actually do a knock-off Rocky movie and I never thought Robert De Niro would ever return to a boxing film. I was obviously wrong on all levels. Read More

It’s tough to sometimes find a good DVD movie to watch at home with your wife, kids or just by yourself, there is just too many films to select from.

One of the most literate when it comes to cinema, in particular, the horror and thriller genre, is Guillermo del Toro. He along with his protegé provide some excellent classics that should create some great movie memories.

You have to love George Clooney. His new movie The Monuments Men, which he directs, writes, stars, produces and is even credited with stunt work, is another interesting story idea from the man that loves to look underneath a rock and find the small gems in stories that have been over told.

It was painful to watch Yankee third baseman Alex Rodriguez at the press conference the other evening in Chicago. He seemed regretful to be in this public position again – accused of taking illegal performance enhancing drugs. He never confessed to it, but he also never denied it, which in itself, is a sign of culpability in the court of public opinion.  For this, he has been suspended by MLB commissioner Bud Selig to 211 games for violating the games drug policy. That means all of this season and all of next. He’s lucky he didn’t get a lifetime ban which is what Selig was looking for. The unruly crowd of reporters from every corner of the world amassed in the press room to cover the event, but let’s be frank, to also be part of a notorious moment in sports history. It all so felt like a movie – as if Al Capone was addressing the Chicago police department on national TV.
Because that presser felt like The Untouchables and because Alex’s whole life is like a movie, I beg the question… should Hollywood make an A-Rod movie? Read More

The second trailer for Marvel’s ‘Thor’ sequel, ‘Thor: The Dark World,’ is here. The new movie looks more polished than before, but still holds that trademark Marvel humor. Loki (Tom Hiddleston) seems to be a big part of the story line – why wouldn’t he? Every geek knows that Hiddleston is the most popular actor in the Marvel universe right now, even rivaling Robert Downey Jr! The movie will be released November 8th, 2013.
Check out the trailer and let us know what you think! Read More

It’s incredible to think James Gandolfini has passed away. I still can’t believe it. Which is why I’m very thrilled to see the first trailer in one of his final performances in Nicole Holofcener‘s Enough Said, which debuts next month at Toronto before Fox Searchlight gives it a September 20 release.
Gandolfini stars opposite Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Toni Collette, and Catherine Keener in the comedy about a divorced woman who decides to pursue the man she’s interested in and learns he’s her new friend’s ex-husband. The whole plot seems hilarious and we get to see a different side to Gandolfini we don’t see often – the tender teddy bear.
Gandolfini’s last movie will be Animal Rescue, a crime-drama centered around a lost pit bull, a wannabe scam artist, and a killing. That film will be released next year.

Comedies have fared slightly okay this 2013 with “This Is The End” and “The World’s End,” arguably, being the best halfway through the year. Director Rawson Marshall Thurber (Dodgeball) gives us We’re The Millers, a typical Hollywood comedy with enough R-rated laughs to allow a recommendation. Read More
