It was supposed to be an interesting pair. After all, they have had their share of hits in the past. They are two of the most beautiful people in Hollywood, according to many magazines. Tehy have had their share of the spotlight.
So why did Vacancy not do pretty well in the U.S. Box Office?
There are […]

28.04.07 The Hoblit Effect
Filed: Suspense, Previews
Comments: Be the first to comment

Gregory Hoblit is one of the most interesting filmmakers in Hollywood right now, in my opinion. His works may have different plots and storylines but they more or less have the same themes. He has been obviously enamored with legal cases, police work and somewhat supernatural things.
In his feature film debut, he adapted the William […]

Who knew this former Mouseketeer would eventually become an Oscar-nominated actor? Did anybody see this guy become arguably the best actor of his generation? Is he for real?
No, no and yes. Ryan Gosling is definitely one actor worth watching out for. Ever since he made critics and audiences get riveted for his stunning portrayal of […]

When he is good, he is very good. When he is bad, he is much better. That best sums up what the talented thespian Sir Anthony Hopkins has done in his storied career.
The man has done so many roles in his whole life. He has been one of the main characters in Shakespeare and also […]

The world is officially a blur to me. Life just got more confusing. This is a surprise that I still could not deduce. I thought I knew a little something about movies and what people want to see. Apparently, I don’t.
See, for the second week in a row, Disturbia ruled the U.S. Box Office and […]

24.04.07 School’s Out V

Now, we pay tribute to the best performing film in the class of campus life films. It is just fitting that a film made by arguably the genre’s best auteur comes in first. Without further ado, John Hughes’ The Breakfast Club.
One Saturday morning, five teens (three boys and two girls) are forced to go to […]

Richard Linklater’s contribution to the study on campus life is one of my favorite films of his. That is saying a lot to someone who has made nothing short of quality films. Dazed and Confused ranks number two on our list.
This film is one of the most underrated films of all time, in my opinion. […]

What’s a campus film list without Alicia Silverstone’s claim to fame?
With that, at number three, we include another Amy Heckerling flick: Clueless.
The high school film is actually loosely based on a Jane Austen book called Emma. Whatever. What we actually get is a lesson on the sign of the times of that era. You’ll know […]

So, it has been confirmed. A new Hulk film would hit theaters in 2008. Yawn.
Wait, there is actually something more to it than just a remake. It looks like Marvel would do a reboot on the green monster in comic book universe. Think Casino Royale with James Bond. So, no more Eric Bana and definitely […]

19.04.07 Sunshine Review

Danny Boyle takes on science fiction. Based on his work with the horror genre in 28 Days Later, I had quite high expectations with this one. The film is called Sunshine.
The film revolves around a group of eight men and women on board a space shuttle who are the planet’s last hope of survival. Not […]
