Today’s batch of MPAA ratings brings R-ratings for Wes Anderson‘s next film, The Grand Budapest Hotel and a strong R for Jonathan Glazer‘s Under The Skin, which features a naked Scarlett Johansson, though I’m not sure the description of “graphic nudity” is entirely accurate. The film doesn’t yet have a domestic release date, but it will land in Germany on March…

I’ve already discussed the tactic Disney and Pixar are taking when trying to get Toy Story 3 a Oscar Best Picture win and the last poster brought a comparison to The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King and it seemed to upset some of you they would even dare make the comparison. Does it bother you as much if the…

Dread Central has posted a brief paragraph from screenwriter Dave Kajganich who has been assigned the task of writing the filmed adaptation of Stephen King’s “IT” for Warner Bros. and Vertigo Entertainment. The story was announced back on March 12 and at the time I would say the online opinion seemed a bit mixed with a hesitant bit…

We broke the news back in July that Oliver Stone wasn’t finished with his epic Alexander as he was planning another DVD release. This coming after what was already described as The Director’s Cut released in August of 2005. Stone told us, “I’m doing a third version on DVD, not theatrical. I’m going to do a Cecile B Demille/Oliver Stone three…

I recently asked you if you would be willing to predict Meryl Streep’s upcoming performance in The Iron Lady would be an Oscar contender. So, as the sales poster for Albert Nobbs arrives (via West End Films) I feel it is only right to ask what you think Glenn Close’s chances are with her new film. Close has been nominated for an…

Variety is reporting that Warner Bros. has stepped up and secured distribution rights for a fourth film in the Terminator franchise to be called Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins with an early 2008 production start planned and a director to be named soon. The film will be set in the future, in a full-scale war between Skynet and humankind. Terminator 3 exec…

While writing my review of Skyfall I had to delete about three paragraphs because I didn’t want to hint at plot points while relaying some of the problems I had with the film. However, I didn’t want to leave these ideas unexplored. So, with so many turning out to see Skyfall on its opening weekend I feel it is safe to…

By now I’m sure you have all noticed… things look a little different around here. I’ve been talking about an upcoming redesign for the last couple of months and finally pulled the trigger and hopefully you like what you’ve seen so far. However, I know change is a tough thing when you’re used to something…

This evening here in Cannes, the Weinstein Co. invited what must have been 30 or so journalists to screen extended trailers for Paul Thomas Anderson‘s The Master, David O. Russell‘s The Silver Linings Playbook and Quentin Tarantino‘s Django Unchained. The trailers were screened in the order as listed above, which I would say was a calculated move getting us intrigued by The Master,…
