Bret Easton Ellis strikes again; Wayfarers, New Order, drugs, sex, and rich LA brats. Welcome to the first look at “The Informers”, the film adaptation of Ellis’s 1994 novel of the same name in which he also wrote the screenplay.

All famous directors started with a super 8 or VHS camcorder in their backyard filming their younger siblings, or maybe even their dog, in costume playing the part of some sort of action hero. For documentarians, the first step to their career goal may take place on youtube. Now I have no idea who Sean [...]

I would never dare muddle your day with a review of a film who’s DVD was released a year ago, but this one is just so good. And if there is someone out there who is unaware, they need to be enlightened.
“Death at a Funeral” starts like any English comedy, where members of an upper [...]

We talked about it here on this blog not too long ago, and it has created quite a hype prior to its release. This schedule, which I found over at Firstshowing.net, shows a fairly substantial release. So [...]

The idea of a movie based on a “Magic The Gathering” like card game which deals with alien shaped creatures in a post apocalyptic world, may not sound like your cup of tea. But surely the up-coming indie sci-fi “The Mutant Chronicles” is worth a look, and here is why.

I just can’t get enough of free film lately, i.e. Internet musicals and ESPN sports documentaries. It used to be that small art house films premiered at indie festivals and then played their limited engagement out in New York or LA, never to be heard from again. Well it doesn’t get any smaller that Slamdance, [...]

There are two reasons I am excited about the internet-mini-series-musical “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog”. One, there is nothing more independent film than a free internet musical, second, I thought I would never again get the chance to see Neil Patrick Harris, Mr. Doogie Howser, in a MD role. I give you Dr. Horrible:
During the WGA [...]

I recently watched and episode of “My Name is Earl” where Earl joins forces with a guest starring John Heder to win a grocery bagging championship. The competition was intense and ended with a slow motion alley oop move where apples were expertly placed inside a paper bag just before time ran out. It [...]

You have seen them before. They are everywhere. I am talking about some magazine’s, organization’s, or celebrity’s top 10, 25, 50, or 100 films of all time. In fact, at this very moment, AFI is airing a TV special on their top 10 American films in various genres. Some people love these lists, some people [...]
I have always thought of the Olympic opening ceremonies as a little overdramatic and dare I say cheesy. Well thanks to a 300 million dollar budget and the artistic vision of renowned Chinese film director Zhang Yimou, 2008’s Bejing ceremonies were legendary - despite the frequent flood warnings and technical difficulties interrupting the broadcast thanks [...]

In the 1950’s Hollywood was producing around forty westerns per year, that number fell to twenty during the 60’s, around ten per year in the 1970’s through 90’s, and in the new millennium, we are lucky to get five westerns each year. But when those westerns are of the caliber of 2007’s “3:10 [...]
