Somewhere between hair and make-up, costuming, and shooting another scene, Mary-Louise Parker, who has been at work for a while now, [...]

A Nightmare on Elm Street – Film Review
Posted on30. Apr, 2010 by Administrator.
by Todd Gilchrist Rating: Having spent time on the set of A Nightmare on Elm Street speaking with producers Brad Fuller and Andrew Form, the guys at Platinum Dunes who successfully spearheaded relaunches of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Amityville Horror and Friday the 13th franchises, I respect and even agree with the logic that [...]

The Losers – Film Review
Posted on23. Apr, 2010 by Administrator.
by Todd Gilchrist Rating: It speaks to the general disposability of action movies that I am unable to immediately remember more than a handful released in the last decade. Ironically, I feel as if I’ve seen all of them, and yet, The Rundown time and again is my go-to choice for one of the best, [...]

Date Night – Film Review
Posted on09. Apr, 2010 by Administrator.
by Todd Gilchrist Rating: There are certain movies that demand discussion and analysis, and others that simply are what they are. Date Night falls into the latter category: a lighthearted comedy about a New Jersey married couple whose night on the town turns into a race for their lives, there’s precious little that needs to [...]

On The Edge in Malibu: Build Green or Let It Be?
Posted on07. Apr, 2010 by Administrator.
by Jason Dean The hypocrisy hounds smelled blood when word began to spread last year about “Leaves in the Wind,” the 156-acre, five-dwelling development in the Sweetwater Mesa area of the Malibu hills proposed by U2 guitarist The Edge. People salivated over the suggestion that the very band that propped itself up as a paragon [...]

Clash of the Titans – Film Review
Posted on02. Apr, 2010 by Administrator.
by Todd Gilchrist Rating: Although I steadfastly don’t believe in writing reviews as some sort of consumer service, the most important thing I have to say about Clash of the Titans is do not see the film in 3-D. Part of the motivation for my plea, admittedly, is to save you the extra money 3-D [...]

Queen of the World: Kathryn Bigelow and The Hurt Locker Rule Oscars
Posted on08. Mar, 2010 by Administrator.
by Jason Dean The 82nd Annual Academy Awards’ build-up toward the crowning of Best Director and Best Picture was a see-saw battle for momentum between Team Cameron and Team Bigelow. Best Cinematography and Best Soundtrack showdowns for the two visually arresting—but very different—films set the tone as the dueling exes traded reaction shots throughout the [...]

Alice in Wonderland – Film Review
Posted on05. Mar, 2010 by Administrator.
by Todd Gilchrist A few years ago I would have described Tim Burton and Alice in Wonderland as a perfect pairing of director and material; even without intimate familiarity with the source material, his pedigree as a purveyor of mainstream fantasy is largely unrivaled, and there’s no doubt his visual sense could reinvigorate (if not [...]

Posted on04. Mar, 2010 by Administrator.
by Christina Ochoa Lopez It is T minus 3 days for entertainment’s most talked about ceremony, and we all have our favorite nominees. Coming to mind are the controversial ex-spouses James Cameron and Katherine Bigelow–both heading the “Best Movie” and “Best Director” categories–sure to ruffle some feathers when the award is given, not to mention [...]

The Crazies – Film Review
Posted on26. Feb, 2010 by Administrator.
by Todd Gilchrist The thing about zombie movies is that I really don’t care at all why people become zombies. That is the least important and, at a certain point, least interesting part of the plot of any movie featuring undead, deeply sick, ravenous, violent monsters. However, the fact that The Crazies tries to come [...]
