Movie Review: Tropic Thunder By Hunter Stephenson/Aug. 19, 2008 1:38 pm EST Caution: Spoilers everywhere. Whatever. Tropic Thunder didn’t meet expectations. It’s not an abortion in a beard like Clone Wars, but it wimped out. For some reason—probably due to the red band trailer and months of exposure to incredibly positive buzz—many hoped Ben Stiller would redeem himself and categorically skewer the Ben Stiller who will soon make three more Night at the Museums, two more Fockers and four more Madagascars....

Review: ‘Loving’ May Be Jeff Nichols’ Most Moving Film Yet By Angie Han/Nov. 4, 2016 2:30 pm EST Note: With Loving in limited release this weekend, we’re re-running our review from the TIFF.Jeff Nichols has never been one for outsized drama. It’s not that dramatic things don’t happen in his movies — on the contrary, his films are full of superpowered kids and apocalyptic dreams and the like. But he often seems less interested in big events than in all the moments in between, the everyday bonds and minute details that make up the textures of everyday life....

By Hunter Stephenson/Oct. 24, 2009 10:57 am EST As it stands, this is a rumor at best and, more accurately, an informed online endorsement that could easily pick up steam amongst horror fans and online.

Spider-Man 4 In 3D? By Brendon Connelly/April 22, 2009 12:41 pm EST Amy Pascal and Michael Lynton are the current co-chairs of Sony Pictures Entertainment and Forbes have tagged them for a very interesting interview on the future of the motion picture business. Let’s get to the holy-moly, though: Pascal quite clearly suggests that Sam Raimi’s next Spider-Man could be shot in 3D. Actually, in context, it sounds more than an idle suggestion, it sounds like a real, solid possibility, if not tentative plan… though Lynton also offers a reason why the idea might be controversial....
