I've been ruminating on whether to post this, but since I went ahead with my current predictions, I just thought I'd throw this in here as well.... My mother has read Annie Proulx’s story and so I’ve been keeping her abreast of the developments with the film. With the recent rave reviews, I also me...

Variety's Todd McCarthy likes it, especially singling out Ledger (who has been consistently praised in almost all of the reviews I've seen thus far), though his admiration is more muted. Brokeback Mountain A Focus Features release of a Focus Features and River Road presentation. Produced by Diana O...

Got it, Sonic, thanks. And, dude, I love sappy romantic epics: I went to see Titanic 11 times in the theater. So if Brokeback is sappy, I'm so there. But Ang has never struck me as sappy, and I trust him to find the right balance. Yeah, maybe I've just become a fanboy with this movie, but it really...

The Postman Always Rings Twice actress met Stone before she died of throat cancer in 1995 and Stone reveals Turner wa...

On the other hand, it will be too bad that this film will be forgotton, never mind by Oscar time, but two weeks from now, because it doesn't deserve to be. I agree. Gilliam's films, for me, often seem a little messy (or perhaps chaotic is a better word), and, in most cases, that's just fine, becaus...

A long-in-the-works project, that originally had Sharon Stone attached several years ago...the only thing CZJ has going for her is her nose (it's just like Lana's), but her coloring is all wrong, and Reeves would, I'm afraid, be woefully miscast as Stompanato. For reference, here's the real people ...

I thought we had a thread on this already, but I couldn't find, so I guess I'll start it here.... Anyway, I don't know if anybody got to see Entertainment Tonight last night, but they showed clips from the trailer, which you can watch here ; the trailer itself will premiere in front of The Constant...
