Gone Blu-ray Review

6 hours ago | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »

Lionsgate and Summit Entertainment's Gone is a mess.

Released without advance critics' screenings in February, the film was clearly deemed not worthy of widespread theatrical distribution but wasn't quite regarded badly enough to be relegated to existence as a Lifetime movie of the week - it is, in simplest terms, an example of "Red Box filmmaking;" it's a movie that the powers-that-be had to find a use for somewhere.

The film stars Amanda Seyfried (Mean Girls, Red Riding Hood) as Jill, a young woman with a history of mental illness who claims to have been abducted a year or so prior to the events of the film. When her little sister turns up missing, she fears the same fate may have befallen her.

What follows is a 'Law & Order'-esque series of "a guy who leads her to the guy who leads her to the guy" misadventures in which Jill »

New Stills and First TV Spot For Oliver Stone’s Drug-Fueled ‘Savages’

25 May 2012 10:47 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »

Amidst the comic-book heavy, sequel and reboot-crazed summer blockbuster season, there is one film that feels a bit different. Oliver Stone is returning with an adaptation of Don Winslow‘s Savages and aside from one trailer, we’ve haven’t got much more from the adult-geared action drama. Universal Pictures has now recently released the first TV spot for the film, which features more footage, something certainly reminiscent to more of his Natural Born Killers days.

In addition, more stills and behind-the-scenes photos have been released on the Facebook page and Oliver Stone’s site. They feature our cast, including Blake Lively, Aaron Johnson, Taylor Kitsch, Benicio Del Toro, Uma Thurman, John Travolta, Demian Bichir, Salma Hayek, Joel David Moore and Emile Hirsch, on Los Angeles sets and on Moyo Island off Indonesia. Check them out below by clicking the images, after the TV spot.

Savages hits theaters July 6th, »

Jason Biggs and Joel David Moore Get Political in Exclusive Poster Debut for Stephen Gyllenhaal’s ‘Grassroots’

22 May 2012 8:00 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

We’re still months away from Election Day in November, but already the country is in the throes of full-scale campaigning, complete with mud-slinging, flip-flopping, and back-biting. Ah, politics! Nothing like them! But if you’re already sick of the machinations of the 2012 campaign, Stephen Gyllenhaal’s new film, Grassroots, just might be the right antidote. Based on a true story, Grassroots pits a starry-eyed newcomer (Joel David Moore) against a big dog city councilman (Cedric the Entertainer) in a 2001 political race. Moore’s Grant Cogswell has one dream, one platform – a new monorail for the city (shades of Singles here). Cedric’s Richard McIver is old school, resting his mass transit ideas on a ground rail train that’s so poorly thought out that Grant is convinced it will destroy the entire city. It doesn’t sound like Grant is going to get anywhere, but then Jason Biggs‘s recently-fired reporter pops up to run his »

‘The Town’ & ‘Savages’ Authors Team For Ensemble Crime Thriller Script

7 May 2012 4:38 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »

With every major studio trying to squeeze the maximum revenue out of their films, development on a broad appeal blockbuster usually results in a fairly watered down final product. So when there is strictly adult-themed drama with a sizable budget, it is a moment to rejoice. We saw it just under two years ago with Ben Affleck‘s sophomore effort The Town and this summer Universal will release Oliver Stones’ Savages. Both crime thrillers feature strong ensembles and now the original authors of both are teaming up for another entry in the genre.

Deadline reports that Don Winslow, author of Savages and the upcoming prequel The Kings of Cool (set for a release just a few days before the former’s film adaptation), and Chuck Hogan, author of Prince of Thieves, the book based on The Town, are set to write a “contemporary” crime thriller. While it’s still untitled, »

Top 15 Most Anticipated Summer 2012 Movies

2 May 2012 9:25 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

The Summer 2012 Movie Season is here with Marvel's The Avengers getting things off to a good start and considering I've already seen that movie, and reviewed it (read that here), I decided I would leave it off this list. So, I guess, this is my Top 15 Most Anticipated Summer 2012 Movies... excluding The Avengers. However, along with The Avengers, there are three other films I've already seen and reviewed that are also hitting theaters this summer that I thought I would mention before we get started. The Avengers (May 4) Should You See It? Yes! What's It About: Superheroes teaming up to defeat an alien god flanked by an alien army that really likes blowing up cars. Review Quote: "When it comes to grandiose summer blockbuster spectacle this is the kind of movie you want to see." (Read the full review here) Polisse (May 18) Should You See It? Definitely!

The 2012 Seattle Film Festival Line-Up is the Best I've Seen in Years

27 April 2012 12:07 PM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

I can't remember a time I went to the Seattle International Film Festival (Siff) press launch and looked over the list of films and saw so many I was interested in seeing. The claim to fame for over the years is to call it the largest and most-highly attended festival in the United States. This is a fact I've often taken issue with as I don't equate quantity with quality. Granted, there has been a large number of quality features to play the fest over the years, including Golden Space Needle (Best Film) winners such as Kiss of the Spider Woman (1985), My Life as a Dog (1987), Trainspotting (1996), Run Lola Run (1999), Whale Rider (2003) and even recent Best Director winner, Michel Hazanavicius's Oss 117: Nest of Spies in 2006. That said, looking over this year's crop of films I see a lot of films I will be doing my absolute best to see. »

This is a message to my fellow Jews: we now have our own romantic comedy that centers on the struggles of Hebros and Hegals in a Goy kind of world. If you did not understand what I just said, this movie may not be your cup of matzoh ball soup. But, for the rest of you, take a look at Jewtopia. The film features an all-star cast of Hollywood's Jewish elite actors. Inspired from the international smash hit play seen by over a million people, Jewtopia stars Ivan Sergei, Joel David Moore, »
