For the past few years, every time I’ve gone to see a kids movie in the theater, I always take a moment to feel sorry for the parents in the theater. These days, taking a family of 4 to the theater can cost anywhere between $50 and $75 (Closer to $100, if you’re seeing something in IMAX or 3-D)! But then, to add insult to injury, more often than not they’ve got to sit through dreck like Alvin and the Chipmunks, or Marmaduke. Thankfully, there are a handful of movies out that are not only geared towards the satisfaction of children, but the whole family, and Mr. Popper’s Penguins, starring Jim Carrey is one of them. Check out the rest of the review after the jump…

Mark Water‘s Mr. Popper’s Penguins trailer sets a tone, and that tone is of a family comedy from the mid 90′s. Even though the film opens on June 17 of this year, you’ve got Jim Carrey acting alongside CGI and real penguins and the trailer ends in a dance number set to Vanilla Ice’s “Ice Ice Baby.” It’s a movie that could have just as comfortably starred Robin Williams or Eddie Murphy back in the day, or even Carrey himself. And yet… here were are. Take a look.

This week director Zack Snyder’s bad-ass, chick-action-flick, Sucker Punch hits theaters with a bang. Snyder described the film as “Alice In Wonderland with machine guns” and there definitely is an aspect of that to the film. This is a dark, imaginative film that journey’s into the mind a young girl who needs to escape — but unlike Alice, Babyboll has a lot bigger threats than just growing up, she has to escape a mental institution before it’s too late. Sadly the film itself doesn’t follow through in terms of story, but it does manage some pretty impressive ideas. Check out our review below… Continue Reading

If you’re lucky enough to live in LA or NY you’ll be able to catch Carla Gugino in her latest role in writer/director Richard Levine’s film Every Day. She co-stars as the sexy temptress that woes Live Schreiber’s character with her free spirit and sexy writing styles — if only every writer had hot care-taker to see them through a project the writing world would be a much happier place. If you’re not lucky enough to see it on the big screen, have no fear! The film is also being released onto VOD (Video on Demand) at the exact same time! Isn’t it great to see independent film being given new wings?
We had a chance to sit down with the lovely and talented Gugino to talk to her a little bit more about making this film, working with Levine and Schreiber, and of course, why Independent film is soaring right now. Check it out…
