I.m in the same camp as Stuart Wood on the Roman Polanski subject. It amazes me how all media across the board (journalists, bloggers, etc) have become apologists for the guy. Now don.t get me wrong, the dude has gone through a lot in his life. Holocaust. The murder of his wife. But I don.t understand how those things play into the fact that he committed a heinous crime. So if I lived through some other-dimension Mexican Holocaust, does that mean I.d be able to get away stuff like he did? I wish the media would focus its outrage on other cases where people you know.may Not be guilty. The West Memphis Three, for instance. But I guess that.s too much to ask. Anyway, thanks to his pending arrest and extradition, Polanski.s newest movie, The Ghost, has been put on hold. According to...

Reviewing The Boat That Rocked for us over Cinema Blend's UK branch, Stuart Wood wrote that the movie was "a slight but immensely enjoyable tribute," but also noted that "If the movie suffers from anything, it.s a bloated running time." Apparently everyone else in the UK agreed with him, and instead of releasing the movie as-is in August, Focus Features has picked up the film and will retool it for a November release. The film, which cost $50 million, grossed only $9 million in its home country of the UK, and has made $25 million worldwide. Focus president James Schamus told Variety that their plan is to cut about 20 minutes from the film, which ran at 129 minutes in its first theatrical release. "It will be a shorter, leaner version. We think it is a real crowd-pleaser. We love a challenge, and we love working with Working Title." Film critics, I hope we...

Stuart Wood kicks off our Edinburgh International Film Festival coverage with a review of No Greater Love. Follow along with all of our Eiff reports, straight from the festival via our dedicated Eiff channel right here. And keep up with which screening Stuart.s headed to next by following him on twitter. Here.s Stuart: It was only recently, despite having lived there for years, that I discovered that there was a convent in my city. Now and again when passing it I have wondered what exactly goes on in that seemingly desolate walled off mansion. Like many people my only real knowledge of nuns is that rather unreliable stereotype portrayed by Whoopi Goldberg and, perhaps more worryingly, 70s nunsploitation movies. So with Michael Whyte's documentary No Greater Love, a fly-on-the-wall look inside a London convent, mine and others curiosity could finally be satisfied. Well it would have been,...

I'm number one chariot when it comes to predicting how much money Matthew McConaughey's movies will not make. The results are in, and by betting against Ghosts of Girlfriends Past this week in Cinema Blend's box office game over at MediaPredict, I kicked everyone else's ass to take the top spot. They don't call me the Head Honcho for nothing. In case you missed out on our announcement last week, Cinema Blend's staff is facing off against... itself by attempting to prove which one of us has the biggest... summer box office predictor. I have an early lead with my McConaghey hating, but Katey's not far behind me in second place. Our Assistant TV Editor Steve West's sitting in third after some solid Wolverine predicting and our Gaming guru Pete Haas is close behind him in fourth. Last place? Cinema Blend's resident drunken Scotsman and neerdowell forum administrator Stuart Wood.
