Movie Review: ‘American Animal’ (2012)
American Animal exists within the crazed psyche of Matt D’Elia, which is appropriate because he’s the star, the writer, the director, the co-editor, and also one of a handful of credited producers. His character is Jimmy, a crazed, maniacal twenty-something … Continue reading

Movie Review: ‘The Five-Year Engagement’ (2012)
I have a good deal of respect for a lot of what’s going on in The Five-Year Engagement. The film represents a monstrous thematic leap for writer-director Nicholas Stoller, whose two previous features, Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Get Him to … Continue reading

Trailer for Lance Daly’s ‘The Good Doctor’
Apple has posted the trailer for the indie psycho-thriller The Good Doctor, which has me moderately intrigued due to the slithery lead presence of Orlando Bloom, who, as we all know, is rarely seen in small-scale productions wearing normal, everyday … Continue reading

Trailer for Ruben Fleischer’s ‘The Gangster Squad’
Ruben Fleischer’s Gangster Squad, judging by this Apple trailer, basically looks like a big-screen realization of the L.A. Noire video-game. And that’s fine by me, I suppose, except for the fact that this material probably won’t be getting treated as … Continue reading

Trailer for William Friedkin’s ‘Killer Joe’
It’s hard not to be on a Matthew McConaughey high right now. He sunk his teeth deeply into last year’s The Lincoln Lawyer, giving one of the prime leading performances of his career, and his 2012 slate, which already includes … Continue reading
Trailer for Ben Affleck’s ‘Argo’
By most accounts, including mine, Ben Affleck is a handsome two-for-two behind the camera so far, though I’m perhaps in a modest minority by preferring the sad soul of The Town to the intricate plot layerings of his previous Gone … Continue reading

Trailer for Benh Zeitlin’s ‘Beasts of the Southern Wild’
We got the poster for Benh Zeitlin’s Beasts of the Southern Wild less than a week ago and, as expected, the debut of this Apple trailer wasn’t far behind. Having already collected some brief thoughts on the film, I’ll save … Continue reading

Third Trailer for Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Dark Knight Rises’
“Hope is lost. Faith is broken. A fire will rise.” Pretty optimistic stuff, eh? Warner Bros. has officially unveiled the third and final trailer for Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises via their YouTube channel — a quite-welcome surprise for … Continue reading

Movie Review: ‘Elles’ (2012)
If Malgoska Szumowska’s Elles proves one thing, it’s that the magnificent French actress Juliette Binoche, who’s so often gifted with richly complex characters (Abbas Kiarostami’s Certified Copy, to name the latest example), can be just as fascinating and evocative whilst … Continue reading

Trailer for Andrei Zvyagintsev’s ‘Elena’
Andrei Zvyagintsev’s Elena will be receiving a theatrical release — via Zeitgeist Films — beginning on May 16, and this Apple trailer has been concocted in anticipation. I’ve yet to catch up with either of Zvyagintsev’s previous two features — … Continue reading
