Test Screening Reviews: Michael Mann’s Public Enemies By Peter Sciretta/Feb. 15, 2009 6:44 pm EST The first review comes from MovieTVWatcher: Here is a review from Donna from JohnnyDeppreads: I just returned from a screening of PE in LA—WHOA! I attended with my DH and some other JDR members, along with about 400 other people. It was a packed house and even though the flier didn’t mention the name of the film, I think that most attending knew it was PE-lol....
The Best & Worst Sketches From Louis C.K.’s ‘Saturday Night Live’ By Ethan Anderton/April 9, 2017 9:00 am EST This weekend brought Louis C.K. back to Saturday Night Live as host for a fourth time. There hadn’t been a new episode in nearly a month since Scarlett Johansson hit the stage in Studio 8H last month, so the writers and cast were refreshed and ready to go. The wait for a new episode was worth it, because with Louis C....
This Week In Trailers: Blood, Populaire, Young And Beautiful (Jeune Et Jolie), National Theater Live: The Audience, Wara No Tate (Shield Of Straw) By Christopher Stipp/June 2, 2013 10:00 am EST Trailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they’re seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect. Foreign, domestic, independent, big budget: What better way to hone your skills as a thoughtful moviegoer than by deconstructing these little pieces of advertising?...

This Week In Trailers: Shank, Prince, Love In A Puff, Serbian Film, Some Days Are Better Than Others By Christopher Stipp/Feb. 12, 2010 10:24 pm EST Trailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they’re seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect. Foreign, domestic, independent, big budget: I celebrate all levels of trailers and hopefully this column will satisfactorily give you a baseline of what beta wave I’m operating on, because what better way to hone your skills as a thoughtful moviegoer than by deconstructing these little pieces of advertising?...
What Happened To Sam Raimi’s ‘Spider-Man 4’? By Jack Giroux/May 4, 2017 3:00 pm EST The cancellation of Spider-Man 4 still feels like a missed opportunity, especially after how The Amazing Spider-Man movies turned out. Sony pulled the plug on what could’ve allowed Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire to send Spider-Man out on a high note. Instead of waiting to get the script right, the studio decided to reboot quickly instead....

‘Game Of Thrones’ – The 10 Most Important Moments In ‘Home’ By Jacob Hall/May 2, 2016 9:00 am EST After last week’s patient season premiere, Game of Thrones launched itself into action with “Home,” a truly tremendous hour of television that reacted to last week’s careful table-setting by overturning the table entirely. Major characters died. Power structures were radically changed. And Jon Snow…well, that would be a spoiler. Let’s run down the most important stuff that happened, shall we?...
‘Power Rangers’ Movie Starts Production; Max Landis Worked On The Script By Jack Giroux/Feb. 29, 2016 4:29 pm EST How are Power Rangers fans feeling about the upcoming reboot? I’m not a fan of the show and don’t know anyone who is, including Jacob Hall, but do they like the direction this film is going in? It was certainly hard to knock casting Elizabeth Banks (Pitch Perfect 2) as the villain, considering she’s Elizabeth Banks, but is this a property fans actually want to see return to the big screen?...
‘Upstream Color’ Review: A Heady, Intuitive Triumph By Russ Fischer/April 5, 2013 2:00 pm EST What a beautiful thing, Upstream Color. Shane Carruth’s second film is a melange of surprises and delights. For an audience familiar with Primer, Carruth’s time-layering ouroboros of a debut, one element may be more surprising than all others: simplicity. Though the telling of this new film is by no means conventional, the core is an elegant idea, yet one rich enough to foster myriad interpretations....

An Ode To ‘Dhoom,’ The Magnificent Bollywood Version Of ‘Fast And Furious’ By Hoai-Tran Bui/April 13, 2017 8:30 am EST It’s an unspoken rule in the movie industry that if Hollywood makes it, Bollywood will come…and create their own musical version. But apart from a couple of impressive song and dance sequences, the Bollywood rip-off usually pales in comparison to the original. Dhoom, the emphatically great Bollywood series inspired by the Fast and Furious franchise, is an exception....
Boondock Saints 2 Plot Revealed By Peter Sciretta/July 21, 2008 12:45 am EST It’s been four months since Troy Duffy announced that a Boondock Saints sequel had officially been given the green light. The video of the announcement was removed from Troy’s website within hours of going live. Troy appeared on WJFK 106.7 and confirmed that “barring an actors strike” the film is scheduled to go into production in August. Duffy revealed the plot of the second film:...
Christopher’s Top 10 Trailers Of 2014 By Christopher Stipp/Dec. 30, 2014 6:00 am EST Trailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they’re seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect.

He also scripted. Now we know that the film is Metallica Through the Never, and it sounds like a part-doc, part-dramatic film....
