  • Who Didn’t Think Harvey Dent was Dead?

    Yes, this story has spoilers, but based on the fact that The Dark Knight has made $531,037,655 I am assuming anyone interested has already seen it. Yesterday Ain’t It Cool News and CHUD reported what they considered news saying Harvey Dent is officially dead at the end of The Dark Knight. Seriously? How is this news or even something people didn’t think was the…

  • Would Ryan Gosling’s ‘Lost River’ be Praised had It been Made By a Different Filmmaker?

  • Gregor Jordan’s ‘The Informers’ is Getting Trashed at Sundance

    Bad reviews don’t typically deter me from wanting to see a film, but when I see negative chatter about a project to this extent it is hard to muster up any excitement as Gregor Jordan’s adaptation of Brett Easton Ellis’s The Informers is not receiving very kind reactions out of Sundance. Let’s run down some of what…
