‘The Beguiled’ (2017) Review: Slow-Burn Psychodrama in Pretty Dresses

Philip Brown — Wed, 28 Jun 2017 16:00:36 +0000

Reduced down to a simple logline, ‘The Beguiled’ sounds like a cheeky, sleazy, silly picture. That’s likely because when Don Siegel and Clint Eastwood made a movie out of the Thomas Cullinan novel in the 1970s, they took that approach. Now it’s Sofia Coppola’s turn, and she’s transformed the sordid tale into something sumptuously beautiful,...

This weekend, as Clint Eastwood’s son Scott takes us for ‘The Longest Ride’ through some Nicholas Sparks drivel, we felt like musing about other children of celebrities who have attempted to follow their parents’ footsteps into show business, for better or for worse. Shannon Nutt Although his father played such legendary characters as Ned Land...

Blu-ray Highlights: Week of September 15th, 2013 – I Cried All the Way to the Bank

This week in Blu-ray, Michael Douglas tinkles away at a piano while the zombie apocalypse rages outside. All right, fine, those are actually two different movies, but wouldn’t it be great if we could mash them together? I know that I’d pay to see Brad Pitt save the world from Zombie Liberace. Wouldn’t you? New...

Weekend Movies: ‘This Is’ What Summer Is All About

Luke Hickman — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 13:00:39 +0000

Today marks the first of three consecutive weekends that will each feature a pair of potential blockbusters, and I have a feeling that this weekend contains the most entertaining set. Christopher Nolan can do no wrong – and I imagine that’s why Warner Bros. has locked him in to oversee other DC comic book adaptations....

Weekend Movies: Just Because There Are ‘No Strings Attached’ Doesn’t Mean You Have to Go

Drew Taylor — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 18:00:28 +0000

This weekend follows the usual January release pattern. There’s one big studio movie that was probably too lousy to compete in another time of year when things are actually, you know, competitive. We also get a sprinkling of indie releases and a couple of smaller movies that had limited runs in December (for Oscar consideration,...

New Year’s Weekend Movies: Save Your Noisemakers

Drew Taylor — Thu, 30 Dec 2010 17:00:41 +0000

Yes, there are movies opening between Christmas and New Year’s. Why, I’m not entirely sure. Oh wait, when you look at them, you’ll understand – Oscar qualification! In fact, one of the bigger, more important movies to be released over New Year’s weekend isn’t even opening in New York City. It’s a Los Angeles exclusive....
