- ‘The Words’ Is ‘Inception’ With Stories Instead of Dreams [Sundance 2012]
Like the dreams of Inception, The Words is a story about a story within a story. On the top level, there is a plot featuring Dennis Quaid and Olivia Wilde. In the middle, there’s Jeremy Irons, Bradley Cooper and Zoe Saldana. And on the bottom, there’s… - TV Bits: Dwight Schrute-Centered ‘Office’ Spinoff in the Works, Plus: ‘Indie Game’, Paul Feig, Alan Ball, Rebel Wilson
With the exception of True Blood creator Alan Ball’s very serious-sounding Banshee, today’s TV Bits is all about the funny. After the jump: Dwight Schrute could leave Dunder Mifflin for Schrute Farms Paul Feig will direct Goldie Hawn in HBO’s… - ‘Your Sister’s Sister’ and ‘GOATS’ Mini-Reviews Featuring Emily Blunt and David Duchovny [Sundance 2012]
While Sundance is best known for movies that sell for millions and stir up controversial topics, most of the movies are simple, well-written, well-acted films that are solid, but often get lost in the mix. Lynn Shelton‘s follow-up to Humpday,… - ‘Compliance’ – Human Gullibility Is Showcased In Sundance’s Most Controversial Film [Sundance 2012]
Craig Zobel‘s Compliance made me want to walk out of the theater. Not as a reaction to the film’s quality, however. On the contrary, Compliance is actually quite accomplished. Actually, it’s so effective it made me want to walk out because… - McG’s Action Romcom ‘This Means War’ Gets R Rating
Briefly: It is probably shallow to become more interested in a movie when the rating is R rather than PG-13. But then, the action/comedy/romance This Means War looks fairly shallow, so my slightly elevated interest in the movie might be a perfect match… - ‘Journey 2: The Mysterious Island’ Trailer – Before Josh Hutcherson Was Peeta Mellark, He Was Explorer Sean Anderson
With all the fuss about this spring’s The Hunger Games, I’d almost forgotten all about Josh Hutcherson‘s other blockbuster franchise, which began in 2008 with Journey to the Center of the Earth. But Hutcherson hasn’t, of course,… - ‘Room 237′ Explores Fantastic Theories Behind Stanley Kubrick’s ‘The Shining’ [Sundance 2012]
If Stanley Kubrick were still alive, Room 237 would make him extremely happy. Directed by Rodney Ascher, the experimental documentary gives the legendary filmmaker a ton of credit, maybe too much at times, as it explores several wild, and not so wild,… - Snow White Bits: Another New ‘Snow White and the Huntsman’ Image, ‘Mirror Mirror’ Featurette and Updated Release Date
The Great Snow White Showdown of 2012 has been brewing for about a year and a half now, but it looks like we’ll have to wait just a tiny bit longer to see how things shake out. Mirror Mirror has pushed its release date back by two weeks from March… - ‘Lockout’ Trailer: Is Guy Pearce the New Kurt Russell?
2012 looks like it could be a year with a particularly strong crop of movies, and the b-picture isn’t getting left out of the action. This week alone we’ve got The Grey and Man on a Ledge (with the former being a lot more satisfying than the… - Sequel Bits: ‘Captain America 2,’ ‘Iron Man 3,’ ‘Terminator 5,’ and More
