That and the pun of his name landed him the job directing ‘Spider-Man’ movies so bad that Sony needed to reboot the franchise again when he was done. Now Webb is back doing crappy dramedies again. ‘The Only...

I’ll bet you don’t because that never actually happened. Yet here we are, 14 years later, and there are still sequels being made. ‘Underworld: Blood Wars’ is the latest title in the franchise. It’s not particularly better or worse than any of the previous handfuls...

The ’90s indie darling behind ‘Metropolitan‘ and ‘Barcelona‘ specializes in small films driven more by spectacularly witty dialogue and arcane intellectual references than superhero explosions. Actually, I take that back. There is one thing even further removed from a summer blockbuster:...

Sometimes they pay off (’24 Hour Party People’) and sometimes they fail wildly (‘9 Songs’), but at least he takes the kind of risks that could go either way. Winterbottom’s latest, ‘The Face of Angel’, is a particularly experimental project even by this filmmaker’s standards....

Early this morning, Kate Beckinsale, Jeremy Piven, Peter Krause and Paula Patton announced the 2015 Golden Globe Award nominations. As happened last year, I’m once again disappointed that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has largely focused on safe picks, with few of the truly mystifying oddball nominations that used to...

It’s a very ‘Adaptation’-esque project, only without a Charlie Kaufman screenplay. So, not nearly...

It looked scene-for-scene identical to the original film, just with newer visual effects and different actors. Indeed, the segments shown in the previews are almost exactly the same as the previous movie. Fortunately, seeing them in the...
