Lawrence Kasdan disappeared from the scene for nearly a decade, but he’s recently found his way back with Darling Companion – a story that any pet lover can appreciate. Consider this a Homeward Bound for adults that centers on the human relationships rather than the talking cat and dog relationships.
Wow. I mean, seriously, WOW. The Cabin in the Woods is unlike any horror film you will ever see, bending not only the horror genre on its totally whacked ear but twisting all kinds of other cinematic techniques as well. From the minds of Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard, it is truly one of the most inventive and ingenious movies to come around in a long time.
Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard’s The Cabin in the Woods was the unfortunate victim of financing. Set up with MGM, the studio went through a rocky period, which left Woods and their Red Dawn remake distributor-less. Cabin was shot in 2009, but will finally see the light of day April 13, 2012. But if you don’t believe it will finally come out, there’s now proof as Lionsgate has put out a trailer.
Based on the recently published, national bestseller by the troublesome Dr. Gonzo (Hunter S. Thompson) Bruce Robinson presents a disappointing adaptation of The Rum Diary starring Johnny Depp, Richard Jenkins and Aaron Eckhart. I would’ve included Amber Heard in the line-up but her performance is so abominable that I’ve deemed her unworthy of sharing a sentence with the aforementioned actors.

It seems the idea of relationship-free sex between two consenting and non-paying adults is too ripe a premise for just one movie. And Will Gluck’s Friends with Benefits hits theaters six months after Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher tried the exact same thing in No Strings Attached. But for Benefits, he’s assembled a dream team of actors, including Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis, along with supporting players Richard Jenkins Patricia Clarkson and Woody Harrelson. No Strings set the bar low, can Friends with Benefits jump it? Alas, no…
The Farrelly brothers are back with their latest collaboration Hall Pass. The film stars Owen Wilson, who’s once again headlining a male-driven comedy that features its fair share of juvenile antics. Going into this you might think that you’re in for a treat. The combination of Wilson and the Farrellys should yield amazing results, but unfortunately it doesn’t. Hall Pass leaves nothing to the imagination and a lot to be desired. Check out the review…
Good news to report regarding Andrew Dominik’s upcoming film Cogan’s Trade. The film, which already has Brad Pitt and Sam Rockwell attached, has caught the attention of another Oscar nominee. According to Variety, Richard Jenkins has officially joined the cast of the crime drama.
Owen Wilson’s back to doing what he does best, slightly inappropriate comedy with questionable premises. His latest film is called Hall Pass and it co-stars “Saturday Night Live” regular Jason Sudeikis as his partner in crime. The duo (as you can judge from their stance in the above photo) aren’t your typical guys. They’ve been given the power to do something that men and women only dream of. Check out the trailer to see what all the hype’s about…
For those of you who were fans of Let the Right One In and are still in shock that they could ever remake such a masterpiece… keep reading. If you’re one of those people who wouldn’t see it because it had subtitles, jump to the next paragraph. I hate to admit this because I was one of those people scoffing at the remake BUT when I found out director Matt Reeves had a similar response when presented with the projected, my mind was slightly eased and I was intrigued once again. The when I saw the film, even I had to admit he did a successful job at newly re-imagining the novel and drawing your attention to certain things that weren’t in the original film.
For those of you who are Let Me In virgins, you’re in for a real treat. You’re about to be introduced to two of the most interesting characters ever brought to the big screen and this time, you won’t have to “struggle” (my god people it’s not that bad!) to keep up with the subtitles.
Reeves in a way accomplished the impossible – pleasing both parties – but has he made the better film? Find out below…
