Trailer for ‘Beautiful Boy’
Posted on Tuesday, August 31, 2010 at 11:41 pm by Danny King in the Videos categoryOscar Predictions: September is Approaching
Posted on Monday, August 30, 2010 at 10:37 pm by Danny King in the Awards categoryFor me, with the opening of Anton Corbijn’s The American, this Wednesday marks the beginning of an awards season that I have rather high hopes for. Along with Corbijn’s George Clooney starrer, September will bring about a host of other … Continue reading
Movie Review: ‘Piranha 3D’ (2010)
Posted on Monday, August 30, 2010 at 12:37 am by Danny King in the Reviews categoryDespite its atrociousness, some good has come out of Piranha 3D. To date, the film has been in theaters for just over a week, and it has grossed a mere $18 million. With respect to its $24 million production budget, … Continue reading
‘Stone’ to Open Chicago International Film Festival
Posted on Thursday, August 26, 2010 at 11:23 pm by Danny King in the News categoryIn about a month and a half, I will be attending the Chicago International Film Festival for the very first time. It is the city’s 46th year hosting the festival, and the opening film, for which I just recently bought … Continue reading
Movie Review: ‘The Expendables’ (2010)
Posted on Thursday, August 26, 2010 at 1:09 am by Danny King in the Reviews categoryMickey Rourke gives a speech in The Expendables that is nearly worth the price of admission. In and of itself, it is one of the best scenes of Rourke’s resurgent career. Within the context of Sylvester Stallone’s semi-ridiculous throwback to … Continue reading
Trailer for Danny Boyle’s ’127 Hours’
Posted on Tuesday, August 24, 2010 at 10:26 pm by Danny King in the Videos categoryThe trailer for Danny Boyle’s 127 Hours – which has just hit via Apple – is relatively basic, but considering the non-commercial nature of the story, perhaps Fox Searchlight felt that a basic marketing ploy would be most effective. The … Continue reading
Trailer for Aronofsky’s ‘Black Swan’
Posted on Wednesday, August 18, 2010 at 11:26 pm by Danny King in the Videos categoryThe trailer for Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan has been long-awaited by yours truly, and if I’ve learned one thing, it’s that this psychological thriller seems to be light-years away from the types of film the Academy usually rewards. Nevertheless, I … Continue reading
Danny Boyle Discusses ’127 Hours’
Posted on Tuesday, August 17, 2010 at 3:45 pm by Danny King in the Videos categoryCertainly one of this awards season’s most unusual prospects is Danny Boyle’s 127 Hours, which could very well end up being a more extreme version of Cast Away. Unlike Tom Hanks, James Franco, who stars as mountain climber Aron Ralston, … Continue reading
