When the film ended at the festival premiere of Ford v. Ferrari, director James Mangold and stars Matt Damon and Christian Bale took the stage and proudly declared that they didn’t know (or care) anything about racing. I thought, immediately, “No kidding.” Their point, of course, was that the film is meant to be for...

Despite ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine‘ being a terrible mess of a film on all levels, it managed to muster almost $400 million worldwide. With James Mangold at the helm this time, we finally have a decent attempt at furthering one...

Now Playing: ‘Knight and Day’ is a Hoot (For a Little While)

Drew Taylor — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 19:00:49 +0000

Fox is worried about ‘Knight and Day,’ the high-impact action comedy that’s opening across the country today. It’s been widely reported that the film, which stars Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz, just isn’t connecting. In fact, in a recent awareness poll, more people know about (and have considered seeing) the similarly themed Ashton Kutcher/Katherine Heigl...
