Getting limited release today is the winner of the Sundance Cinematography Award, Joshua (2007). The tale of the perfect family, with Joshua (Jacob Kogan) the seemingly perfect child.

preview: perfect creature (2006)

Thursday, June 28th, 2007

The next vampire movie I want to focus on is a contribution from New Zealand; marking the largest deal ever made between their country and an American studio. Perfect Creature (2006) will be getting its North American premiere July 5th at the Fantasia Film Festival. Though it was completed over two years ago, [...]

preview: sicko (2007)

Sunday, June 24th, 2007

Due for release June 29th is Sicko (2007). When I first read the name I thought for sure it was a horror flick, but no, it’s actually a new documentary about healthcare policies in America from Oscar winning director Michael Moore (Bowling for Columbine 2002). As a disabled person I’m starting to get [...]

preview: i am legend (2007)

Thursday, June 21st, 2007

Vampire movies seem to be the big thing this year, but you won’t hear me complaining, I love them. This time around director Francis Lawrence (Constantine 2005) gives us his version with I Am Legend (2007) starring Will Smith (The Pursuit of Happyness 2006) due for release December 14th. The trailer reminds me [...]

preview: interview (2007)

Wednesday, June 20th, 2007

From writer/director/actor Steve Buscemi (Trees Lounge 1996) comes “a character driven movie that makes you ask questions.” To quote the man himself. Interview (2007), due for limited release July 13th, is about a war journalist that’s seen everything. Now, because of an argument with his editor, he’s being forced to interview America’s [...]

preview: 30 days of night (2007)

Saturday, June 16th, 2007

Due for release this October is a new vampire movie based on the Steve Niles graphic novel 30 Days of Night (2007) starring Josh Hartnett (The Black Dahlia 2006), Ben Foster (“Six Feet Under” 2003-2005) and Melissa George (“Alias” 2003-2005). What makes me excited about this new film is that its being brought to [...]

preview: the invisible (2007)

Monday, April 23rd, 2007

Nick Powell has a limited amount of time to solve his own murder; the catch is no one can see or hear him. The Invisible (2007) starring Justin Chatwin (War of the Worlds 2005), Margarita Levieva (from the TV series Vanished) and Marcia Gay Harden (academy award winner for Pollock 2000) is a remake [...]

preview: across the universe (2007)

Thursday, April 19th, 2007

 

Yesterday I saw this preview at the theater and was instantly captivated. I don’t think I’ve been this excited about a new movie in years. Try as I may, I don’t think I could put better words to describe this film. From imdb… “An original musical film, Across The Universe is [...]

Monday, April 16th, 2007

Thursday, April 12th, 2007

Most people don’t realize this, but David Morse is in everything. Don’t believe me? Just follow the imdb link on his name. Anyway, I’ve been a fan sense his “St. Elsewhere” days and I’m looking forward to his latest performance in Disturbia (2007) due for wide release this week. This thriller [...]

preview: slow burn (2005)

Wednesday, April 11th, 2007

If, like myself, you were depressed about “Smith” being canceled last year, here’s another chance to see Ray Liotta (Goodfellas 1990) in Slow Burn (2005). This crime drama due for wide release this week also stars some of the hottest black actors in hollywood today, including LL Cool J (S.W.A.T. 2003), Mekhi Phifer (O [...]

Monday, April 9th, 2007

In honor of bush visiting Yuma today, and because it’s just too weird to ignore, I’m bringing your attention to a Japanese soft-core porno that’s getting limited release in the us this week. Hatsujô kateikyôshi: sensei no aijiru (aka the glamorous life of Sachiko hanai) is the story of a call girl who finds [...]
