While national attention may be focused on the presidential election of 2012, HBO is focused squarely on 2008, as evidenced by their new original film, Game Change, which chronicles the events of the 2008 presidential election between Barack Obama and John McCain.  And, in a new trailer for the film, much of the movie seems centered on the reasoning behind McCain’s decision to select Sarah Palin as his VP, and his campaign’s discovery that she might be a little, well, nuts.

Crazy, Stupid, Love, is another simple, funny, easy to swallow and in no way challenging comedy that was made for everyone. It’s got some fine actors, giving good performances (though none of their best) with some solid comedic lines and quite a bit of heart. My only problem is that it really wasn’t anything that new or different. That’s not to say that this is a bad film, it’s just not great, it’s perfectly mediocre…

Crazy, Stupid, Love, the new film from Glenn Ficarra and John Requa opens July 29 this year, and a trailer has just been released. The film stars Steve Carell, Julianne Moore, Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Kevin Bacon and Marisa Tomei. The trailer promises a lot of heart, a couple of laughs, and seems to lay out everything that happens in the movie from start to finish. Take a look…

All-around cinema badass Ed Harris has had a wide and varied acting career, and now he’s got another surprising acting role to notch into his belt—John McCain.

When we think of Sarah Palin, Oscar nominee Julianne Moore doesn’t come to mind. Aside from them both being women, around the same age, and attractive they share nothing in common. Moore will go out on a limb and do her best Palin impression when she plays the former vice presidential candidate in the HBO film Game Change.

Indie film Chloe will finally be making its way to theaters on March 26th and we have a little trailer to get you excited for the new sexy (not too original) thriller starring Liam Neeson, Julianne Moore, and Amanda Seyfried. The film is about a jealous wife that questions her husband David’s fidelity and decides to hire an escort to see how far he’ll go.

Although the film boasts and impressive cast, the film sounds like a number of films we’ve seen before. And those who have seen it are saying similar things, according to our Santa Barabara Film Festival review “One cannot help but think of things like Fatal Attraction, Theorema and even The Hand That Rocks The Cradle, but Chloe’s not even as good as the least of those.”

Check out the synopsis, trailer and poster for yourself…

One of the big name auteur’s at this year’s Santa Barbara Film Festival is Atom Egoyan (not in person), with his latest Chloe. A sexual drama that bears a dubious reputation from its round on the festival circuit last year, it was adapted from 2003′s star-studded Nathalie (Depardieu, Ardent, Béart) and turns out to have been described quite accurately as a misfire.

Another huge purchase has been made at this year’s Sundance Film Festival and it’s for Lisa Cholodenko’s The Kids Are All Right. The film puts a new twist on the concept of family reunions with the help of an amazing cast including Academy Award nominees Annette Benning and Julianne Moore.

Get ready for an an award winning film. First time director Tom Ford’s film A Single Man is a refreshing reminder of what going to the theaters should be like. Surprising, heart-warming, depressing, thought-provoking and above all interesting. The film is as beautiful on the surface as it is touching at its core. Not to be confused with the Cohen Brother’s A Serious Man (which is a very different, and good film), A Single Man is a story about a teacher in the 60’s who loses his lover in an accident and is left in a world that he no longer wishes to be a part of. Lets take a look…
