This was honestly the first superhero film that, literally, everyone could be excited about. A director who pays strict attention to details, is concerned about a story and has such a visionary style would be directing Hugh Jackman in a Wolverine sequel. Who would have thought? Well now that’s all gone to shit…damnit! I can’t […] Read more
Taken was a surprise hit — the film was produced on a small ($25 million) budget and became one of the top 20 grossing films of 2009. It’s no surprise then that those behind the original were thinking sequel. Writers Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen (who wrote the original) have been working on the script and have […] Read more
The 2003 Ben Affleck-starring Daredevil film is a mixed bag. It was made during the time between the first X-Men hitting it big and Marvel taking control of its properties with Iron Man. And, of course, it expected us to take Ben Affleck seriously as a superhero. But Daredevil — blind lawyer Matt Murdock by day, […] Read more
True story: I was in Detroit in October 2009 and saw scenes on the street such as above, along with other streets that looked like a giant warzone. And I honestly thought nothing of it. I mean, it’s Detroit, and no offense to any Movie Buzzers fans who live in the Motor City, but your […] Read more
Yeah, so I’m a Bradley Cooper fan. That alone gave Limitless a head start. Eddie Morra is a down-on-his-luck writer when he runs into his ex-wife’s brother and is given a new “wonder drug” that highly increases his motivation. The story is quite intriguing and, who knows, it could very well be possible in the next ten years. […] Read more
The documentary, Making the Boys, tells the story of Mart Crowley, the writer of Boys in the Band, a 1968 play (and later film) depicting all gay characters. The play ran off-Broadway for 1001 performances and became a sensation. Now, 43 years later, director Crayton Robey’s film gives us behind-the-scenes access. Whether or not you are […] Read more
June 24th just keeps inching closer and closer and as that date is fast approaching, Disney has no intent on slowing down its aggressive marketing campaign for its latest Disney/Pixar film Cars 2! Of all the posters I’ve seen thus far, I am really a big fan of the following World Grand Prix posters that […] Read more
Robert Zemeckis has directed two of my favorite films — Back to the Future and Who Framed Roger Rabbit — and even won an Oscar for directing Forrest Gump (and although many have argued that Oscar should have gone to Quentin Tarantino for Pulp Fiction instead, it’s still a great film). But Zemeckis hasn’t directed […] Read more
It’s very difficult to describe Certified Copy without giving it all away. What I will say is that director Abbas Kiarostami manages to keep you guessing at every step in this French/Italian drama set in Tuscany. An author is on a book tour to promote his book about copies of famous art. It is his contention that […] Read more
As the month of April inches closer and closer, so does the official release of James Gunn’s very violent dramedy, SUPER, starring Rainn Wilson, Liv Tyler, Ellen Page, Kevin Bacon, Michael Rooker, Nathan Fillion, Sean Gunn, Gregg Henry, Andre Royo, and Linda Cardellini. Now, I’ll admit, I was being just a tad lazy when I […] Read more
