‘The Judge’ Trailer: Robert Downey Jr. Produces And Stars In This Family Crime Drama By Germain Lussier/June 19, 2014 4:58 pm EST Long before Robert Downey Jr. was a massive box office star and superhero, he starred in smaller, character based films.

Clash Of The Titans Movie Review: A Monstrous Misfire By Russ Fischer/April 2, 2010 3:11 pm EST Crafting a new version of Clash of the Titans shouldn’t be a difficult task. You’ve got a hero, a quest, a few monsters and a handful of gods and humans kicking around as interested parties. It’s fun stuff, as long as the proportions are all correct. The first time this story was told, by writer Beverly Cross and director Desmond Davis in 1981, the result wasn’t good by any stretch, but it had an undeniable charm....

Exclusive: Tim Doyle’s ‘Unreal Estate’ Art Show Featuring Locations From Famous TV Shows By Germain Lussier/Jan. 31, 2012 10:00 am EST In a traditional sense, art is all about being displayed at a gallery. The art we feature here on /Film, however, is far from traditional. It’s bold, bright and usually pop culture themed. That kind of stuff has no place in a gallery. Or does it? Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles regularly hosts pop culture themed art shows and occasionally gives some of those artists their own show....

Review: Yorgos Lanthimos’ ‘The Lobster’ Is A Spiky Satire Of Modern Romance By Angie Han/May 13, 2016 5:00 am EST Note: With The Lobster in limited release this weekend, we’re re-running our review from the New York Film Festival. Audiences have come to expect the bizarre from director Yorgos Lanthimos, who broke out in 2009 with the wonderful and unsettling Dogtooth, and The Lobster definitely doesn’t disappoint on that front. It’s set in a dystopia where single people are transformed into animals; the title refers to the animal that Colin Farrell’s David has chosen to become if he can’t find a mate....
