Opening This Week: “The Master,” “Trouble With the Curve,” “End of Watch,” “Dredd 3D”

posted by Nell Minow

There’s been something of a slow patch at the box office for the last couple of weeks, but the fall season of potential Oscar-winners really starts up this week with “The Master,” P.T. Anderson’s ambitious new film starring Philip Seymour [...]

Opening This Week: ParaNorman, Odd Life of Timothy Green, Expendables 2, and Sparkle

posted by Nell Minow

We don’t get many PG movies, so it is really unusual to see two in the same week, especially welcome as they are directed at the audience most overlooked by Hollywood, 8-14 year olds and their families.  “ParaNorman” is from”Coraline’s’ [...]

Opening This Week: It’s Back to the 80′s with “Rock of Ages” and “That’s My Boy”

posted by Nell Minow

Until VH1 recycles it’s “I Love the 80′s” series again, those homesick for the era have two choices opening in movie theaters this week that are both affectionate tributes to the era.  It makes sense — studio executives in their [...]

Disney Lets Merida Be Merida After All
Did the folks at Disney even watch "Brave?"  One of the great strengths of Pixar's first movie starring a female character (and its first originally written by a woman, Brenda Chapman, though she was replaced by a male director) was that its feisty heroine, Merida, looked like a real girl and not a

Want to Know What James Franco Thinks of "The Great Gatsby?"
I'm interested in James Franco's take on "The Great Gatsby" because of what this polymath who attended two grad schools at once has to say about the challenges of adapting great writing to the screen and the differing goals and audience expectations of a book now viewed as a classic and a movie.

Interview: Directors/Writer/Star of "Desperate Acts of Magic"
Magic is in the air.  And on the screen.  Two big-budget films with some of Hollywood's biggest stars playing magicians are being released within a few months of each other.  In March, we had the silly comedy The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, with Steve Carell and Jim Carrey.  Coming up is the en

Star Trek: Into Darkness
This time, there's crying in "Star Trek."  And some very significant time on Earth as well.  This story is in the most literal sense, close to home. Writer-director J.J. Abrams, who rebooted Gene Roddenberry's original "Star Trek" saga with a rousing 2009 origin story prequel now takes us clos
