While other networks are running marathons of one sort or another, mostly revolving around quality (or at least mediocre but loved anyway) programming, Chiller is going in a different direction. On Friday, August 24th, The horror/thriller-based net is running the critically acclaimed documentary, Best Worst Movie – and following it up with a screening […]

Sparkle: Great Performances, So-So Script!
Technically a remake of a 1976 movie starring Philip Michael Thomas (Miami Vice) and Irene Cara (Fame), Sparkle is a rehash of tropes we’ve seen before. Unlike the original version and other films that have told the same story (think Dreamgirls as an example), this one manages a few new wrinkles and is lifted by […]
The Odd Life of Timothy Green Might Just Be the Next Disney Classic!
With The Odd Life of Timothy Green, Peter Hedges tells a quietly magical tale of a uniquely odd family that feels like a movie that we can return to time and again.
Interview: The Odd Life of Timothy Green’s Director Peter Hedges and Star Joel Edgerton!
Disney’s unique family film – both in terms of being about a unique family and in terms of being a film the whole family can enjoy – The Odd Life of Timothy Green premieres tomorrow. The film was written and directed by Peter Hedges (What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, Dan In Real Life), who clearly understands […]
The Bourne Legacy Searches for a Story, Michelle’s Review!
With the near collapse of the James Bond movie franchise I started to think that we don’t have enough super spies to rely on. We have the Mission Impossible series and the Bourne Series to compete with Bond. That’s it. While I love Ethan Hunt, The Bourne Series has never quite done it for […]
Wolverines! New Red Dawn Trailer Finally Hits!
I know the 80s had some really cheesy movies, but more were more cheesetatic than Red Dawn with Patrick Swayze and a pre Dirty Dancing (and Ferris Bueller) Jennifer Grey. Hollywood has finally gotten around to remaking this classic and I’m really hoping its just as cheeserific as the original. Take a gander. Official Facebook: […]
The Bourne Legacy Adds New Dimensions to the Series!
Between its excellent cast and a unique way to add to the Bourne series, The Bourne Legacy both brings new depth to the original trilogy and adds new intrigues to the mix. The shadow of Matt Damon’s Jason Bourne haunts the proceedings in The Bourne Legacy as co-writer/director Tony Gilroy reveals that Treadstone, the clandestine […]
Hope Springs: Two Old Pros Show How It’s Done!
Hope Springs isn’t the most original movie around. Indeed, its tale of an old married couple who have gone from passionate to barely roommates contains few surprises, plot-wise. What makes it work is the terrific chemistry between stars Tommy Lee Jones and Meryl Streep and the way they add unexpected nuances in the oddest places.
Total Recall Remake Is Not a Total Disaster! It’s Actually Rather Fun!
It may not be as joyously weird as the Paul Verhoeven take on Philip K. Dick’s immortal short story (We Can Remember It For You Wholesale), but it makes up for that with a protagonist who seems genuinely vulnerable (C’mon! You never really thought Arnold was in real peril, did you?) and more pure intensity.
