Carey Mulligan Reviews, Interviews & More
The latest adaptation of The Great Gatsby retains most of the story generations have fallen in love with. Unfortunately, Baz Luhrmann's gaudy style and fast cuts are too distracting. There's still some magic from the F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel there, but the director can't decide between being over-the-top or toned down.
It's only been a couple of years since we last saw a Joel and Ethan Coen movie (True Grit) pop up in theaters, but for some fans including myself it feels like an eternity. Thankfully the two creative minds behind movies like Barton Fink, No Country for Old Men and many other films are back with their latest called Inside Llewyn...
Another day, another look at Baz Luhrman’s reinterpretation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby as a 3D, CGI-heavy pop explosion featuring the music of Beyonce, Andre 3000, and Lana Del Rey (hey, just like in the 1925 novel!). The newest trailer focuses heavily on the rage of Tom Buchanan (Joel...
We're starting to see a heavy trickle of promotional material for all the big summer event films, with Iron Man 3 and The Wolverine currently leading the charge. But there are other movies coming out this summer, and not all of them are aimed at comic book fans. Such as The Great Gatsby, which is...
Like any good cinephile, we treat the release of a new Coen brothers movie as an event. Their latest, Inside Llewyn Davis, is the first in twenty years not to be shot by Roger Deakins, and tells the story of a New York folk singer in the 60's. After their recent run of movies (No Country for Old Men, Burn After...
Baz Luhrmann is probably one of the best directors you could ever put in charge for a movie like The Great Gatsby. We're dealing with a literary classic that's been translated into every other entertainment medium ever since the F. Scott Fitzgerald novel was published to the masses. To have such an over-the-top visual director such as Luhrmann behind the...
When you think of the Great American Novel set in the roaring 1920s, you think of 3D films with an Auto-Tuned soundtrack, right? Well, if so, you’ll dig the trailer for Baz Luhrman’s over the top take on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby. If not, well… you may wish to look away for the next two minutes and 30 seconds.
Despite the fact that it’s taking a classic piece of American literature and turning it into a 3-D film, Baz Luhrmann’s film adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby might not be quite as horrible as we first thought. Of course, I’m basing this opinion simply on a few photos that have leaked out from the set, but, that said,...

Get ready for Drive. The modern 80's-esq, dramatic, action film about a driver who knows how to do one thing damn well. From the unique characters, to the stellar performances across the board, this risky film sets its unique tone from the start and carries it through to the bitter end. With its risky style of shooting, to the willfully strong perspective of the...
