Leonardo DiCaprio 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.

Leonardo DiCaprio has been considered one of the big A-List stars for around twenty years now. He went from blue eyed teen heartthrob to serious actor who surprisingly has yet to win his own Oscar. His latest is the Baz Luhrmann movie interpretation of The Great Gatsby. DiCaprio has proven himself to be a fine actor who deserves all the praise he's received over the years, but he...

Another slow week for DVD and Blu-ray releases, but hey, hopefully your taxes are done, and you can pick up Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained. Otherwise, there’s a great classic 80’s film hitting the Criterion collection, and some classic Jackie Chan films.

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...

Julianne Moore and Jonathan Rhys Meyer's long-shelved horror pic 6 Souls is finally hitting theaters and VOD. The Weinstein Company waited five years to release it, and normally that's not a good sign. But the first trailer hit the web this week, and you can judge it for yourself. Also, a new Ender's Game photo was released – it gives us the first look at...

There are a great deal of romantic movies in the world. Even if the film doesn't fall under that genre, the element of love finds its way in the mix. But despite the abundance of love stories in cinema, it's still very hard to find a truly romantic character. The idea of romance has been thrashed and labeled as corny thanks to teen franchises and bad rom-coms. Yup, romance gets a bad rap. But...

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...

In 2009, Quentin Tarantino tackled Europe's Nazi past with Inglourious Basterds. Three years later, he's decided to take care of home. The writer and director's latest work, Django Unchained, focuses on the darkest time in American history. Jamie Foxx stars as a freed slave, who with the help of a German bounty hunter, searches for his wife in a world set on keeping them...

Thanksgiving is nearly here, and there are a lot of things to be grateful for in the world of movies and television. We all like to poke fun at Hollywood for some of the crappy movies they invest in, and also some of the unfunny comedies that are still airing on TV, but the truth is we love this stuff. It's why we write about it. Thanksgiving is about reflecting and giving thanks, so...

The story of the long-gestating Twilight Zone film could in and of itself become a Twilight Zone episode, seeing how it features endless attempts to achieve a task that never quite comes together—much like a cruel episode of the old TV series, a dream can seem totally possible until you get close to it, at which point it becomes a nightmare.  The Twilight Zone...

In the most recent issue of Total Film—the 200th overall—the magazine celebrates the past 15 years in film, and names Quentin Tarantino as the “Director Of Our Lifetime,” and features an interview with the hyperactive auteur.  In said interview, Tarantino drops an interesting nugget about his upcoming spaghetti western genre rip, Django Unchained, and its...

Cloud Atlas appears to be this year's Inception as it's a big budget brainy sci-fi film. But, instead of traveling through different levels of dreams, this film follows the intertwining lives of various characters through their past, present and future. The cast is flooded with A-list actors including Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Jim Sturgess,...

Movies have been great for the last couple weeks. We've gotten The Master, Looper, Argo, and shortly we'll be getting Cloud Atlas. These are films to talk about and think about for days. But this is an awesome year for movies, because in a couple weeks we'll also be getting...

Well, despite many casting changes and bailouts, and accusations of an out of control production, it appears that Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained is still on schedule for a Christmas release, as the film’s marketing train continues to roll ever onward.  Now we have another full-length trailer which once again spells out the plot—Django (Jamie Foxx) teams up with a bounty...

There is something of a science to release dates. On top of knowing that there are certain times of the year when a big movie will do better or worse than other times, studios often pick dates because of past experiences.  For instance, Zack Snyder wants all of his pictures released on the same weekend for luck. Now we've got dates for Sacha Gervasi's Hithcock, and...

Despite a series of numerous casting changes and leaked info about an “out of control” and over-budget production, Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained marketing rollout is moving onward, this time with a new international trailer with snippets of new footage.

Warner Brothers, no stranger to bumping pictures around this year, has moved The Great Gatsby from December 2012 to Summer of 2013. There's no date set, but for those hoping to see two Leonardo DiCaprio films open on Christmas, you've been denied.

Quentin Tarantino and Jamie Foxx appeared on the BET awards on Sunday night, and brought with them a new 60 second teaser for Tarantino’s eighth film (ninth if you count his Four Rooms segment), Django Unchained.  The new spot features a remix of Ennio Morricone’s famous “The Ecstasy of Gold” from The Good, The Bad, and...

It seems Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese has finally given up on film in favor of shooting digital for his next film, The Wolf of Wall Street – according to his long-time editor, Thelma Schoonmaker. The decision from the previous “champion of film” seems to be coming off the back of his last digitally-shot movie, Hugo, but since...
