Russell Crowe Reviews, Interviews & More
There are a number of more new releases to home video today than in the last couple weeks, which is exciting, but most are wash outs from earlier this year and from last year. There are some great catalog titles, which is nice. Check it out…
For those who’ve bought the Bond box set, this week you can finally add the latest film to that set. There’s also some of the fall’s flops, and missed opportunities. Bond dominates this week of DVD and Blu-ray releases.
Allen Hughes has stepped out on his own to direct Broken City. It's an intriguing thriller that stumbles on its feet as it comes to a close. It keeps you guessing and has a wonderful cast, but those positives can't hide the film's flaws.
No city is without its share of deceit and corruption. Humans are complicated animals who'll do whatever they can to survive --even break the rules. Director Allen Hughes' latest movie Broken City deals with how desperate people can become in order to maintain their reputation. Since he wasn't collaborating with brother Albert Hughes, Allen's unique directing style...
While most of Man of Steel, Zack Snyder’s take on the Superman franchise (with a little help from producer Christopher Nolan), is still a mystery, Russell Crowe has recently come out with some spoiler-y information on the upcoming superhero film, and seems to definitely confirm this is going to be in the general ‘dark and gritty’ mode of comic book film, in which we “get into...
Let’s face it—the most recent film adaptation of Les Miserables truly is miserable. Not miserable as in bad; rather, it’s a nearly three-hour tale of theft, imprisonment, guilt, poverty, revolution, lost love, forced prostitution, misery, crime, and death. So, yeah, it lives up to its name. And perhaps nothing else in recent memory can sum that up but a YouTube...
Surprisingly enough, Les Misérables hit us right in the gut -- but in a good way. It's hard not to get swept up in the music and emotion pouring out of the film. While it's not perfect, the latest adaptation of the classic is solid and ready to be taken in by a new generation of fans.
Broken City, which stars Mark Wahlberg, Russell Crowe and Catherine Zeta-Jones (all Oscar nominees, and 66% of those are winners) is coming out January 18. And it used to be if a film like this came out in January, it was because it was terrible. Nowadays, all it means is that it's a B picture that features stars, and may deliver the goods, but can't compete with...
They say January is where movies go to die. Allen Hughes' upcoming political thriller Broken City has an impressive cast, but can it do better than Mark Wahlberg's last January film (Contraband)? Our hopes are much higher for this one, especially after this first clip where an intimidating Russell Crowe tells Wahlberg, "I own you."
Les Misérables has proved to be a timeless classic, and now we're just a couple of weeks away from its theatrical release, re-imagined for the big screen by filmmaker Tom Hooper. So of course we're going to be flooded with tons of new television spots in anticipation of its release. Well, here's a couple more for you to chew on.
Les Miserables is one of a rare vanishing breed: a big budget, star studded Oscar Best Picture wannabe. For the last couple years the awards have been dominated by smaller, independent movies that are sold on their prestige, and a daring turn by an actor who was probably paid little money in the hopes of winning a golden statue. Not here. Nope, this is the big...
These days, many filmmakers are so obsessed with the films they grew up with, it feels like they're not just paying homage, but doing covers. RZA's The Man with the Iron Fists tries to come off as a fun-filled bloody action fest, tipping its hat to martial arts movies of the past, but in trying to incorporate so many homages it comes off as messy.
The set up for Broken City is ripe. A cop (Mark Wahlberg) is asked by the mayor (Russell Crowe) to spy on his wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones), but it turns out the end game is not what was imagined. The trailer suggests that the film could be entertaining, so check it out.
Darren Aronofsky's Noah recently got its official release date, and we couldn't help but be very excitement – this thing looks epic! Today we have the very first peek inside Noah's ark. This is definitely not the ark they teach you about at Sunday school, boys and girls. Check out the image below.
New doubts have risen over The Dark Tower, Imagine Entertainment partners Ron Howard and Brian Grazer’s very ambitious three-film and dual-TV series cycle of adaptations of Stephen King‘s epic novel series, after Warner Bros. “decided not to move forward” with the project. Which begs the...
Just in case you were wondering, Ron Howard’s massively ambitious three-film, two-TV series adaptation of Stephen King’s eight-book series The Dark Tower is still possibly happening—after Universal dropped the project, Warner Bros. will decide in the next two weeks whether or not to save it.
We're a year away from Zack Snyder's Man of Steel, but there was no way Warner Brothers was going to miss the opportunity to start selling the film with their biggest film of the year, so they attached a trailer to The Dark Knight Rises. In fact they offered two different ones, both with different narrations from Superman's two fathers.
Darren Aronofsky isn't a director who likes to keep it simple. This is the guy who's most well-known for his mind-trip movies like Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain and Black Swan. So, when Paramount announced that his version of Noah would be a "close adaptation of the biblical story of...
Coming off his role as a grumpy dwarf in Snow White and the Huntsman, Ray Winstone has been offered the villainous role in Darren Aronofsky's Noah. Winstone will go up against Russell Crowe, joining a cast that includes Logan Lerman, Douglas Booth and Emma Watson.
We're still a year away from Zack Snyder's 'Man of Steel,' but it's one of the most anticipated films of 2013, and we're expecting that a trailer will be attached to 'The Dark Knight Rises.' It should be - the film's already in post-production, which means they've got a year to make sure it's amazing. But here is a look at some of the film's...
