The breathless first minutes of Terrence Malick’s To the Wonder mix swooping images of astonishing beauty with whispered voiceovers that tell us everything and nothing. The remainder of the film is a purposely frustrating attempt to rekindle what we felt and what the characters felt in those first fifteen minutes.
With Place Beyond The Pines, the follow-up to his extremely intimate Blue Valentine, director Derek Cianfrance has subscribed to cinema’s time-honored rule – that is, broaden your scope, paint on a mountainous canvas, exceed your grasp.
It’s not the movie that the trailers promised it would be. And while the efforts to do so almost derail the film completely, it’s saved by a couple veteran actors that manage to turn Admission into an enjoyable film.
Nicolas Winding Refn’s peculiar cinematic style is once again on display in the red band trailer of his upcoming film, Only God Forgives. The revenge thriller stars Ryan Gosling as an enigmatic loner who runs an underground boxing club in Bangkok, Thailand.
Sony Pictures has released a new red band trailer for the apocalypse comedy This is the End and it looks like it could be pretty hilarious if only for the plethora of celebrity cameos. Watch the trailer after the jump!
The fairy tale intertwines the plots of several well-known Brothers Grimm fairy tales but most notably centers on a childless baker and his wife (Blunt) who journey into the woods to confront the witch (Streep) that put a spell on them.
The Hitman has a long lineage in Hollywood. But whereas Hollywood often likes to gussy up the Hitman to make him more “empathetic”, Michael Shannon’s performance as a real-life Hitman known as The Iceman purposely and brilliantly plays against this idea.
Warner Bros. has debuted the full trailer for Guillermo Del Toro‘s upcoming blockbuster Pacific Rim. The film is set in an apocalyptic future in which humanity is fighting a hopeless war against legions of giant creatures, known as Kaiju. Watch after the jump!
Something odd has happened after seeing hundreds and hundreds of movies. I feel like the very vast majority of films out there don’t bring out the rush of emotions, the exhilarating feeling and the true emotional resonance that we all seek out when we go to the movies.

Well, what we did think was going to happen by giving the keys to The Great American Novel to Baz Luhrmann, holder of a masters in Cinematic Spectacle & Kitsch? He takes the material and guns the engine like Jay Gatsby himself at the wheel of his beloved yellow 1929 Duesenberg.
Warner Bros. is ramping up its marketing of Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel, most notably with a truly excellent theatrical trailer last month (which you can watch again after the jump). The studio has now released a full track from Hans Zimmer soundtrack for the film.
Iowa cornfields can have so many connotations on the movie screen. And in Ramin Bahrani’s latest film, At Any Price, they symbolize the the crushing responsibility of family legacy.
Occasionally a hyperbolic declaration contains no hyperbole. This is one of those occasions. With Mud and its precursor Take Shelter, writer/director Jeff Nichols has displayed a command of the craft second to none. His future appears immense.
The American Dream, a term that has become terribly diluted down through the years, still is generally thought to contain some sort of element of “hard work” but, really, what good is “hard work” when a mere glance around offers the tantalizing possibility of oh so many shortcuts?
The Numbers Station chooses to be a straight thriller, which is perfectly fine, of course, so long as you are able to render the proceedings, you know, thrilling.
