Invoke the phrase greatest movie of all time, and youd better bring your A-game. Film fans dont take their bests lightly; while fleeting passions may prompt easy praise (Avataranyone? An undisputed masterpiece, it not only established the directors reputation but it changed filmmaking in the process. Hit the jump for my full review. From a technical standpoint, the film is flawless. Kurosawa often uses visual tools to convey his story, relying on dialogue only when absolutely necessary....

In the end Nucky comes out on top – he always does – but at what price? Was it all worth it? Hit the jump for why itwasworth it – for us at least – sticking around for this final hour. Harrow then saves Tommy and delivers him to Julia, whose father is not only sober but understanding! Did it make a lot of sense? It was brutal, but the marriage of a swirling camera and splatter-cinema effects was strangely intoxicating....

The film will be directed by Marc Webb and produced byA Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach. So excited to have him on board. He began his film career with director John Sayles and actor Chris Cooper in Amigo. Image via Sony Pictures DeHaan next stars in Place Beyond the Pines alongside Bradley Cooper and Ryan Gosling. This was followed by a guest arc in the fourth season of the popular horror series True Blood....

What a long, strange trip it’s been. The chief complaint about this odd season ofBoardwalk Empirehas been its wandering. The journey has been uncertain both for the series and the characters within. Whether or not it’s too late remains to be seen. “Two Impostors” was a great episode though, and suspenseful throughout. Not exactly a rousing group. What and to whom is debatable (I know what I would like to happen, anyway....

Casting is currently underway on Sonyas fast-moving sequelThe Amazing Spider-Man 2, and feels like producers are changing course in filling the integral role of Harry Osborn.AMarc Webbis returning to direct withAndrew GarfieldandEmma Stoneback as the filmas leads, but the follow-up is poised to include a tantalizing group of newcomers that should ring familiar to fans of the comics.AShailene Woodleyis set to play eventual love interest Mary Janein what may amount to a larger role inthe third film, and negotiations are underway to nail downJamie Foxxas the filmas villain Electro....

Boardwalk Empire, I thought we were good. I thought we were getting somewhere. Maybe I didn’t give you enough time to sort yourself out. But then you go and you do something like this and I just … I just don’t know that I can do this anymore. It hurts me,Boardwalk, it really does. More than you know. I mean, we’ve been through some real stuff, you and I. I saw it coming, I’ll admit....

What a terrifically weird episode ofBoardwalk Empire. I really just kind of want to leave the review there, but I’ll press on. This season ofBoardwalkwas more or less advertised as being about Nucky as a man apart. For more on the Fall of Nucky, hit the jump. After the blast at Babbette’s, though, Nucky (though still irritating) became just plain pitiful. He was helpless and confused but still willful and stubborn, an unfortunate combination....

A Hit the jump to see the new red-band trailer.Check out the new red-band trailer forAMovie 43Abelow (viaYahoo! Look how many people we got in this thing!" Warning: This movie is not for the weak-stomached, faint of heart, or easily offended.

The approach mostly fails by trying to avoid being too much like the Raimi version. Our review of the Blu-ray ofThe Amazing Spider-Manfollows after the jump. As this is never really paid off, who cares? Perhaps this is partly set up for the next film. And here is where direct comparison to the Raimi film makes this look bad. We see Tobey Maguire humiliated in much more effective and believable ways....

Van Alden, Margaret, Billie, Gillian, Nucky (and Capone?) all try their hand at securing ways to make their futures tenable, with varying degrees of success. Hit the jump for why you ain’t the lead, you’re just the pony. Gillian knows Nucky killed Jimmy no matter what he says about it. “The Pony” was the first time I didn’t really hate Billie. Her scenes were actually pretty cute, mostly because they largely didn’t include Nucky (a....

WithThe Amazing Spider-Mangetting released on Blu-ray/DVD November 9, earlier today I was able to sit down with directorMarc Webbfor an exclusive video interview.A Webb recentlysigned on to direct theSpider-Man sequel and news broke this morning thatJamie Foxxis going to play the villain Electro, so the timing of this interview couldn’t have been better.During our wide ranging conversation we talked about his appreciation for Jamie Foxx, his thoughts on the financial success of the film, why he cut out certain scenes, how Peter Parker’s parents will be a serial element over the course of the trilogy (he said “I need to leave some juice for the second movie”), what kind of deal he made with 20th Century Fox to get to do the Spidey sequel, and more....

Things are moving right along on theAmazing Spider-Mansequel.A Just over a month ago we learned that directorMarc Webband starsAndrew GarfieldandEmma Stonewere all returning for the follow-up, and we recently got wind thatThe DescendantsstarShailene Woodleyhad entered talks to take on the role of Mary Jane Watson (makinga minor appearancein this sequel).A Within that report we also learned thatthe filmas villain was rumored to be Electro, and now kinda looks Sony has settled on Academy Award winnerJamie Foxxto take on the electrically-inclined antagonist role....

Otherwise, it probably felt like a largely useless hour of television. No extreme violence or politics or excessively complicated plotting, just family and lots of emotion. For more on this and why, if women can’t be politicians, does England have a Queen? I’ll start with Gillian, who had the creepiest plot – just in time for Halloween! It’s completely disgusting. Who doesBoardwalkthink it is,Game of Thrones?? Let us pray that we can move away from this story now....
