Explosive second trailer for Oliver Stone’s W

The second trailer for Oliver Stone’s George W. Bush biopic features the Talking Heads’ Once in a Lifetime, and fittingly. The new clips show some of the behind-the-scenes meetings that went in the White House just after 9/11, and the turmoil within the Bush family over the legacy of Bush senior. We also get glimpses ….

Spike Lee recently sat down with Jamaal Finkley of Blacktree TV, and discussed his new project, Miracle at St. Anna, along with his thoughts on the upcoming presidential election and his issues with Clint Eastwood’s Flags of our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima. I also happened to read a story on WENN News website ….

Will Smith is set to play an ancient pharaoh, working from a script by Randall Wallace (Braveheart) called The Last Pharaoh, an epic film being crafted as a vehicle for the actor. In the upcoming movie, Smith will play the pharaoh Taharqa, who battled Assyrian invaders in ancient Egypt. This is according to a story ….

Son of Rambow DVD review

Year: 2008 Son of Rambow takes place on a long English summer in the early 1980’s, as two young boys quixotically set forth in developing a short film project for submission into a BBC filmmakers’ competition. From the beginning, the film is the type of inspirational story that one would find in a Chris Van ….

Blood and Oil: The Middle East in World War One

Year: 2006 Blood and Oil, a new documentary from Inecom Entertainment, was utterly impressive. Director Marty Callaghan, whose previous work includes writing and producing a TV mini-series called The 20th Century: A Moving Visual History, clearly has a strong personal interest in his subject, and conveys a sense of immersive passion as he pursues the ….

King Arthur film review

Bruckheimer is back with the costumes, swordplay, sexy Keira Knightley and another talented albeit mildly-experienced director for King Arthur. The formula still works here, but not quite as very as the fun Pirates of the Caribbean. It works for about an hour or so. King Arthur, a historical version of the British myth, strips away ….

The Manchurian Candidate film review

Year: 2004 I’m a huge fan of the original Manchurian Candidate, so naturally I approached Jonathan Demme’s redo with some amount of trepidation. In this, the year of the shoddy remake, we’ve already seen such hack jobs as The Stepford Wives, The Big Bounce and The Punisher, among a half-dozen or so updates. The catch ….

Platoon film review

Like no other movie could tell, Platoon shows us categorically that war – and especially the Vietnam War – is hell. The story is vintage Oliver Stone – based on his own experiences in the bush with only a few moments of fictionalization. In Platoon, Charlie Sheen plays a young and naive Private Chris Taylor, ….

Three Kings films review

With two ex-rappers and a guy from ER leading the cast, I wasn’t expecting much from Three Kings. Am I the only one that can still picture Ice Cube being squeezed to death by a huge snake in possibly the worst movie ever, Anaconda? Or how about a buffed-up hood rat named Marky Mark dancing ….

Warriors of Heaven and Earth film review

This film, Warriors of Heaven and Earth (Tian di ying xiong) is heavy with swordplay throughout. It revolves around a caravan during China’s Tang Dynasty, in the western territories, that is carrying a sacred bone of the Buddha. The caravan, however, is just the setting, as the film follows several characters, each with different motives, ….
