Finally, there's a cat even cooler than Garfield who will win the box office as well as a place on your favorites list. His name is Puss, and he wears boots. From the pages (or animation cels) of the Shrek franchise comes Puss In Boots, directed by Chris Miller. Everyone's friendly neighborhood orange tabby, who made a splash in the 2004's Shrek 2, makes his solo debut in grand style.
Snowmen is loosely based on writer-director Robert Kirbyson's childhood in Canada and where he faced among other things, a parent dealing with leukaemia. However, thanks to a little creative licensing, we have the story of Billy (Bobby Coleman), a small town tween loving wintertime and playing in the snow with his pal Lucas (Christian Martyn).
With all due respect to the Shake-Weight, not all inventions should see the light of day. The same applies to movies, even if they seemed to look good on paper, as is the Trent Cooper directed Father of Invention.
Antonio Banderas stars in the controversial new film The Skin I Live In. Directed by Pedro Almodovar, the film deals with issues such as revenge, love and survival. Banderas plays a brilliant plastic surgeon who must reconcile his sense of revenge with delusions of grandeur. Over the weekend, he took a moment to talk to us about the challenge of the role as well as his impressive career and how he developed such a complex character for the film.
Someone needs to occupy Nicolas Cage, because just like the fat cats on Wall Street, he's letting the checks determine his material and that's how we end up with the unintentionally hilarious Tres.
With the holidays quickly coming upon us, larger plates, higher credit card charges and films about extremely dysfunctional families are just around the corner. Sporting an all-star cast headlined by Ryan Reynolds and Julia Roberts, Fireflies in the Garden is based on first time writer-director Dennis Lee's semi-autobiographical story about how his family dealt with tragedy.
A remake of the 1984 film, Footloose starring Kenny Wormald and Julianne Hough opens in theatres today. To celebrate the film's release, director Craig Brewer sat down to talk with us about his involvement with the film, dealing with a loss of a parent, what he'd like audiences to take away from the film and more.
FEMA can take a day off because there's at least one remake that won't be called a natural disaster. Director Craig Brewer pulled off a major win in taking on the 1984 classic that screamed "train wreck" when it was announced a couple years ago. Welcome to Footloose 2.0!
Bunraku is everything from blatant ripoff to experimental cinema to a graphic novel gone wild with its dark colored lighting, bad acting and predictable ending. However, the only thing that's as brave as the characters was the effort it took to even try it. In a time where Hollywood covers up it's insecurity with remakes and reboots, experimentation often deserves a tip of the hat even when it fails to hit the mark.
With summer movies safely tucked away, it's the time of year where films set out to teach us something or touch our hearts on the way to next year's Oscars. No, I don't mean Creature, although there was touching in some parts of that movie. Instead, I'm talking about Puncture, where brothers and co-directors Mark and Adam Kassen introduce Chris Evans to a villain even scarier than the Red Skull....big pharma.
