It’s been four years since our last James Bond adventure and now he is back and Daniel Craig is a whole new Bond. Based on the first Bond book written by Ian Fleming, the story, which has never been told on film until now, recounts the making of the world’s greatest secret agent as he…

It’s always interesting when an MPAA bulletin includes a re-rate, but most specifically when a film gets a new rating, a new rating reason, but the filmmakers didn’t have to edit the film one bit. In today’s bulletin that film is David Gordon Green‘s Manglehorn starring Al Pacino which was previously rated R for “some sexual material”, but has now…

From Vienna in Before Sunrise to Paris in Before Sunset, the story of Celine and Jesse is obviously the heart of why we love these films so much, but the locations speak to that sense of romance in us all. Meeting someone in a foreign country and enjoying a passionate, one night affair, believing you can’t exist without…

I was not a huge fan of TRON: Legacy, but one thing I will say for it is I really enjoyed where it ended. In fact, as much as I thought the film itself was a bit of a dud, had it continued on for another two hours I think they might have had one hell…

Our JP4 scooper, ‘Doc’, has just written in with some new info on the upcoming Die Hard 4 film, or as it is being referred to, DH 4.0. ‘Doc’ admits the news is third-hand, and therefore this should be taken as strictly rumor, but it is certainly some intriguing news to read. Doc writes: Got some third-hand news on a…

Wills is Open to Die Hard 5 and Unbreakable 2: In a pair of interview quotes Bruce Willis talks about the possibility of Unbreakable 2 and seems quite confident there will be a Die Hard 5. As for Unbreakable 2 he says, “I talked to [M. Night Shyamalan] over the holidays, and he is still thinking about doing the fight movie between me and…

I already posted this on my blog, but I can’t help but do the same right here. Roger Ebert has posted the following commentary on his site with regard to John McCain and his behavior during last week’s debate and the subsequent advertising campaign he ran. I agree with everything in this commentary and since it is Roger…

The only thing that makes me even slightly interested in the upcoming remake of Stephen King’s Carrie is the fact it’s directed by Kimberly Peirce (Boys Don’t Cry). Because, really, what is there to do with this film that wasn’t already done in Brian DePalma’s 1976 original? Even the casting of Chloe Moretz (Let Me In) seems too on-the-nose to be…

Wes Anderson has been making some of his best work over the past several years, and I think a lot of that has to do with his exposure to stop motion animation. Fantastic Mr. Fox was a film that took Anderson’s diorama approach to a literal diorama, and it turned into a fantastic film. His next to projects, Moonrise…

If you were watching tonight’s Election coverage you likely saw this new TV spot for Steven Spielberg‘s Lincoln more than once. One RopeofSilicon reader tweeted me saying just that, writing, “I think I have seen the TV spot for Lincoln about 15 times during the election coverage.” Well, if you’re interested, you can now watch it for a 16th time.…
