Blu-ray Review: ‘Clint Eastwood: 20 Film Collection’ Highlights Legendary Career

5 June 2013 9:01 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »

Chicago – “Clint Eastwood: 20 Film Collection” is a great Father’s Day gift that’s nonetheless a bit difficult to describe. It’s not exactly a greatest hits collection of its legendary star since it’s missing some of his most iconic films and includes some of his most notable failures. At the same time, every Eastwood fan would be happy to have at least half of these films in their collection and there’s no better way to do it then this set. It also may allow for some reevaluation and reappreciation of some of Eastwood’s less-beloved movies. I wish that Warner Bros. had taken the opportunity to upgrade a few Eastwood films that still need HD restoration but there’s enough brilliance in this box that it’s tough to complain.

Rating: 4.0/5.0

Which ones are the classics in this impressively-packaged set? There are undeniable, iconic ones like “Dirty Harry, »

Cate Blanchett To Lead David Mamet's JFK Assassination Thriller

15 May 2013 1:04 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

The assassination of U.S. president John F. Kennedy was a horrific event that forever scarred the American psyche. Perhaps this is why this brutal and public murder finds its way into film and television again and again, from the gritty superhero drama Watchmen, to the Clint Eastwood action movie In the Line of Fire, and Oliver Stone's Academy Award-winning historical drama JFK. Even Tom Hanks is developing a drama about this defining moment for our nation. But no one has approached this topic as David Mamet plans to. Variety reports Mamet has penned and will direct a thriller that offers a new and likely mind-boggling possibility for the hows and maybe whys of Kennedy's murder. Far from historical drama, this feature is being described as a Hitchcockian nailbiter. And the casting of Academy Award-winner Cate Blanchett in the lead role suggests this screenplay is something sensational. Of course, »

13 May 2013 10:45 AM, PDT | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »

The new fall season is closer than you think, and NBC has released their full schedule. Apart from reality favorites The Biggest Loser and The Voice, they are mixing things up quite a bit.

Take a look at a complete preview of the shows coming your way, and mark your calendars. It looks good for NBC this year, and while I’m not sure all of these look like winners, I think you’ll find at least a couple that you’re really going to like.

Blacklist – Fall

The Blacklist — (Photo by: NBC)

For decades, ex-government agent Raymond “Red” Reddington (James Spader) has been one of the FBI’s most wanted fugitives. Brokering shadowy deals for criminals across the globe, Red was known by many as “The Concierge of Crime.”

Now, he’s mysteriously surrendered to the FBI with an explosive offer: he will help catch a long-thought-dead terrorist, Ranko Zamani, »

Blu-Ray and Digital Download Release Dates Set for Warm Bodies

7 May 2013 1:00 PM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »

If you missed the hilarious and heart warming Warm Bodies starring Nicholas Hoult (X-Men Days of Future Past) when it was in theaters, you have a chance to redeem yourself coming this month. You could wait until June 4th for the Blu-Ray and DVD release, or you can catch the early digital download release May 14th. Here’s the press release.

Cold Body. Warm Heart. “An inspired mash-up of zombie heart and romantic comedy brains”

– Peter Debruge, Variety “The perfect date movie!”

Kevin McCarthy, CBS Radio “The greatest zombie love story ever told.”

Warm Bodies Hits June 4th But Early Download Begins May 14th

6 May 2013 7:56 PM, PDT | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »

The decidedly odd zombie flick, Warm Bodies, is coming your way on Blu-Ray, DVD, VOD, etc., etc., on June 4th, but there’s an early window opening May 14th for download.

If you caught this one in theaters, there’s a pretty good chance you want to see it again. It’s that kind of film. Even I want to see it again, and I’m rather picky about what I watch more than once. This early window trend is pretty interesting actually, and several other movies have been pushing this recently. Why not get that one last chance to see the film a few weeks before you can pick up the Blu-Ray?

The Blu-Ray looks like a solid release as well, with a lot of bonus features – see full list below. I’m thinking the commentary track will be worth it alone.

Risky blockbusters of the 1990s that underperformed

2 May 2013 6:29 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »

Feature Simon Brew 3 May 2013 - 07:03

It's a risky business, filmmaking. Simon looks back at some bold, expensive 1990s movies where the gambles didn't quite pay off...

This summer's blockbuster season has got off to a startling start, with Iron Man 3 being widely praised for its willingness to rip up the rule book a little, as it continues the story of Tony Stark.

In fact, there's a subset of modern blockbusters - Nolan films, some X-Men features for instance - that are garnering increasing praise for taking bold choices with the material. That they're wagering a lot of movie studio money on projects and stories that once upon a time would have struggled to get through the system.

However, we'd argue that the 1990s was rich with such gambles too, it's just most of them never really made quite the levels of cash we're seeing now. So, here's a »

Six Of The Best: The Directors – Clint Eastwood

19 April 2013 4:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

Clint Eastwood will have lost a few Brownie points for his bizarre and frankly ill-advised conversation with an empty chair at the Republican National Congress last autumn, but he is still much-adored Hollywood royalty – old and craggy, but still directing and acting to a phenomenally high standard and responsible as actor and/or director for some of the greatest and most iconic films ever to have come out of Hollywood.

Most often associated with Westerns and understandably so (the Dollars trilogy, High Plains Drifter, The Outlaw Josey Wales, Pale Rider, Unforgiven), Eastwood also has a sterling track record within the crime genre (Dirty Harry, Mystic River, In the Line of Fire, Play Misty for Me) and with straight dramas too (Million Dollar Baby, Gran Torino, A Perfect World, Changeling). With Oscar statuettes and nominations coming out of his ears, he is clearly much loved by the Academy, but critics and »

Streaming Family Movies: It's 1993 All Over Again

3 April 2013 9:57 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »

This week, Steven Spielberg's classic dinosaur thriller "Jurassic Park" gets rereleased in theaters –- in 3D! I vividly remember being in high school when it came out in the summer of 1993 and jumping out of my seat next to my best friends. It was an amazing year in theaters, with a mix of unforgettable Oscar-winning dramas ("Schindler's List," "Philadelphia," "The Piano"), hilarious comedies ("Mrs. Doubtfire," "Groundhog Day") and action flicks ("The Firm," "The Fugitive," "In the Line of Fire"). If you've got a tween or teen who has yet to see "Jurassic Park," get yourself to a theater, but if your clan isn't ready for lawyer-gobbling t-rexes and Samuel L. Jackson-chomping velociraptors, take a look at three more family friendly 20-year-old movies.

Back in December we got an early look at  Jonathan Levine (All The Boys Love Mandy Lane)’s zombie rom-com adaptation Warm Bodies (read that review here), where I said “Basically, Warm Bodies is just cute, and geared for teenagers looking for an alternative to Twilight, or zombies in general. In that regard, it’s par for the course.”

If you missed it in theaters this past February, Lionsgate/Summit has set a June 4th Blu-ray & DVD release date! Check out the press release and specs below!

Is This Gerard Butler's Comeback?

20 March 2013 6:57 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Los Angeles — In a week when North Korea posted a homemade video showing the U.S. Capitol building being destroyed by a missile, what more logical response could Hollywood offer than a macho thriller about a Secret Service agent who takes on North Korean terrorists who attack the White House? The first of two similarly themed action dramas set for this year ("White House Down" arrives in June), "Olympus Has Fallen" will put to the test the question of whether American audiences are ready, 12 years after 9-11, to watch, strictly as disposable popcorn entertainment, a film in which the United States and some of its most prominent landmarks are devastated by foreign terrorists.

The answer almost undoubtedly will be yes, as the tough-guy former agent played by Gerard Butler gets to kick a whole lot of badass butt while trying to rescue the president. Although this is the sort of »

What are the Best Political Action Thrillers?

18 March 2013 2:04 PM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

Last night I was trying to come up with some ideas on something I could do in conjunction with the release of Olympus Has Fallen and one idea was to come up with a list of the best political action thrillers. The problem is that word "action" really limits the number of films... at least when it came to the titles my fiancee could come up with last night. The word "action", in this case, almost seems to remove all meaning from the word "political". Sure, Olympus Has Fallen is based on a terrorist takeover at the White House, but just how political will it really be? White House Down and G.I. Joe: Retaliation are working with similar themes as trailers have already shown us, are they too political films? Certainly there is a nugget of politics in there, it's something that gives the narrative added weight over simply being about guns, »
