With only two features to their credit -- they co-wrote and co-directed 2006's Crank, and together scripted this past spring's Pathology -- maybe it's a bit premature to declare myself a fan of the duo known as Neveldine/Taylor. (Even if that's the case, Eugene's got my back.) Yes, I'm the guy psyched for Crank 2: High Voltage, and I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt for other upcoming projects, such as the ...

In a week littered with plenty of big-budget trailers piggy-backing on James Bond's undeniable popularity (Quantum of Solace just had the biggest opening day of any Bond film to date), the new one for Sam Mendes' domestic drama Revolutionary Road very nearly slipped through the cracks (thanks to Rob for passing it on, and Variety's Anne Thompson for premiering it).This trailer plays more like a teaser than its predecessor, and yet it's a simple and ...

It's like the logical extension to that spoiler T-shirt ...

Filed under: Action, Thrillers, Mystery & Suspense, Home EntertainmentLook to the right side of this post and tell me that you could possibly ignore that movie. I know that I can't, and that's what I've decided to share with you everything I just dug up on a little flick called Sharks in Venice (the trailer -- attached below the jump -- has Shark as singular, while IMDb lists both; already, the thrills!).All I know is ...

(from left to right) Sean Gullette in Pi, Ellen Burstyn in Requiem for a Dream, Hugh Jackman in The Fountain, and Mickey Rourke in The WrestlerI had been writing a rambling introduction to this piece, but to make a long anecdote short, I decided to re-watch the works of writer-director Darren Aronofsky prior to seeing his new film, The Wrestler. Out of more happenstance than planning, I began his first film exactly a day to ...

Leave off Congo, forget Timeline, and don't even start on Sphere. The positive impact of prolific author Michael Crichton on the worlds of television and film with Jurassic Park, The Andromeda Strain, and "ER" is difficult to dismiss, and it's a shame to see him pass away yesterday from cancer at the age of 66, according to CNN.His medical background helped lend credibility to his work, especially Andromeda, Coma (which he directed) and The Terminal ...

With the mild controversy of "Minutegate" now behind him, Roger Ebert now turns his sights on a much more welcome target -- Ben Lyons. Not that Ebert ever calls him out by name, mind you, but this cata-blog of professional guidelines for fellow and fledgling critics resembles a list of do's and don'ts for those less than eager to resemble a certain someone whose contributions to the field are so very often deemed worthless.On the ...

Oliver Stone's docudrama W. opened last week to mixed critical response (including our own review) and a modest box office take of just over $10 million. Now, as Stone has promised in interview after interview, a rather thorough fact guide has been posted online, a bibliography with which one can corroborate several facts in a film admittedly filled with all manner of re-enactment and artistic license. For those much more inclined than I, there are ...

Naturally, today's release of Saw V (read our review) brings with it numerous trailers for early '09 horror offerings. Earlier this week, we received the first trailer for that Friday the 13th remake (which you can see here), and now we have two others. First up is My Bloody Valentine 3D, the crotch-targeting poster for which Scott made mention of earlier today. Lionsgate is going to have trouble actually marketing this in 3-D, as family-friendly ...

Over on his Times Online pop culture blog, Michael Moran confronted what he considered to be the ten silliest sequel rumors at the moment. His list runs the gamut from projects we've been hearing about for ages -- The Goonies 2 and Ghostbusters 3 -- to ones that never crossed my radar in the slightest (dude, they should totally bring back Katherine Heigl if they go through with Under Siege 3).For that matter, what's The ...

Though I doubt this'll be news to anyone already psyched for this film (of which there are many some?), it looks like this Thursday night brings with it a marathon of the Saw series at select AMC locations (the list is after the jump), leading up to the midnight premiere of Saw V. I actually took part last year (the first for the event, I believe), having felt a need to dust off #1 and ...

In news that is equally rumored and dreaded, it looks like the Weinsteins' haste to get The Reader in the running for this year's awards season might be a matter of John Hillcoat's anticipated adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's acclaimed novel, The Road, not being ready for its limited release a month from now, let alone year's end. It's bad enough that neither film was ready for any of the big fall film festivals, but a ...
