‘Feud: Bette and Joan’ Pilot Recap: “There’s Only Room for One Goddess at a Time”

Josh Zyber — Wed, 08 Mar 2017 13:00:28 +0000

I guess ‘American Feud Story’ wouldn’t have sounded right as a title. Producer Ryan Murphy’s latest anthology drama combines a little bit of horror with a little true crime to detail some of history’s most scandalous rivalries. The first season of ‘Feud’ centers on the notorious grudge match between Hollywood icons Joan Crawford and Bette...

It’s Thanksgiving this week, which can only mean that it’s time to bring out the turkeys. Oh, I suppose that’s not entirely fair. Still, holiday weeks are always a slow time for new Blu-ray releases. Fortunately, this one has a couple of impressive box sets worth taking a good look at. New Releases The first...

Now Playing: ‘RED’ It and Weep

Brian Hoss — Thu, 18 Jul 2013 19:00:14 +0000

The two ‘RED’ films are meant to be fun and funny. They feature several well-known and highly-accomplished actors doing fantastic secret-agent stuff. The first movie was very engaging as it introduced lead characters Frank Moses (Bruce Willis) and Sarah Ross (Mary-Louise Parker), but it quickly devolved into a tap dance of over-the-top sequences. In that...

The Trailer Park: Covert Agents and General MacArthur

M. Enois Duarte — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 20:00:26 +0000

In this week’s batch of trailers, devoted-dad Dwayne Johnson becomes a snitch, Matthew Fox builds a case against the emperor of Japan, and Bruce Willis comes out of retirement… again. ‘Snitch’ I think the best part of this trailer is the narrator’s voice saying, “How far would you go?” It’s an old-fashioned trailer that’s quick...

Now Playing: This ‘City’ Is Anything but Broken

Bryan Kluger — Fri, 18 Jan 2013 16:00:49 +0000

Allen Hughes (half of the Hughes Brothers, directors of ‘Menace II Society‘ and ‘The Book of Eli‘) branches off on his own with the political crime drama ‘Broken City’. The story dives into the deep dark corners of politics and the police force in New York City during a big mayoral election. I’m calling it...

Sundance Journal: ‘Lay the Favorite’

Luke Hickman — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 17:00:36 +0000

Some films make it into the Sundance festival each year based solely on their star power. Instead of being competition films, these fall into the Premieres category. ‘Lay the Favorite’ is the best example of a star-driven Premiere that has absolutely no business being part of Sundance. In fact, it’s so bad that it doesn’t...

The Netflix Stream: Week of November 20th, 2011

Dick Ward — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 18:00:41 +0000

There isn’t a lot of movement on Netflix this week, but some cool things are on the way, including one of those essential Christmas movies and everybody’s favorite film about clowns with guns. Leaving the Stream ‘Chicago’ (11/25): I’m particularly sad to see this one go. It’s one of those go-to movies that I can...
