I’m not sure what other signs we need when it comes to expecting David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis to play at the Cannes Film Festival, but with a May 23 release already set for France and now a teaser trailer with French subtitles all that’s left is the official announcement. Cosmopolis is based on the novel by Don DeLillo, and follows…

Examining Quentin Tarantino’s Foot Fetish
Some of the less imaginative haters of Quentin Tarantino love to point out the writer/director’s foot fetish and how it leaks into damn near every single film he has made. Of course, if Tarantino was trying to hide the fact feet light a fire where it counts it would perhaps be a little more disturbing,…

Watch: New Trailer for Paolo Sorrentino’s ‘Youth’ Starring Michael Caine
Paolo Sorrentino is heading to Cannes with his newest film Youth (La giovinezza) and it certainly is getting its fair share of marketing along the way thanks in large part to a May 21 release date in Italy as a second trailer has arrived today. The film has yet to be picked up for domestic release, but I expect all that to…

It’s getting close to that time when photos and additional information for movies at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival begins rolling in.

Alex Gibney Follows Lance Armstrong’s Tour de France Comeback for New Doc
Alex Gibney’s Taxi to the Dark Side won the Best Documentary Oscar back in 2008 and I am ashamed to say I have still not had a chance to check it out despite all the great things I have heard about it. Gibney also directed Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room back in 2005 and I enjoyed his Gonzo:…

TIFF Movie Review: The Ward (2010)
It seems while Rob Zombie was busy with his horrible remake of John Carpenter’s Halloween and Universal is now busy making a prequel to his 1981 classic The Thing, he’s been at home figuring out how he too can get in on the generic horror genre. Taking that into consideration he’s succeeded wildly with The Ward, a subpar psych…

Watch: Steven Spielberg Opens Up On ’60 Minutes’ Talking ‘Lincoln’ and Much More
When I posted my review of Steven Spielberg‘s schmaltzy period epic War Horse and gave it a “D” the first comment began with “You sir, are not a critic.” Very well, I call it as I see it no matter what some may think and stand by that review.
