Tim Burton provides such a distinct look, feel, and texture to every one of his films — regardless of how you might feel about them — that he’s very much a genre unto himself. Taking a heavy influence from landmark German Expressionist films, he’s pioneering this generation’s brand of wacky, dark-tinged cinema as his creations have danced across the screen for more than a quarter of a century. Yet, as we’ve seen in his recent efforts, a little too much creative freedom — as in all of it — can yield the most unwieldy or disastrous of narratives. For his latest effort, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, the eccentric director gets to do what he…

G-S-T Review…Skyfall
Even after 4 years, Quantum of Solace still leaves a rather bland taste in mouths of Bond fans (though much of the flat reception the film was met with can be chalked up to the writer’s strike). As such, Bond would have a lot of making up to do in his next outing. But thanks to another solid turn from Daniel Craig, a fantastic cast to play opposite, great story, music and all of this under the artistic eye of Sam Mendes, Skyfall is not only one the franchises’ best installments but easily sits among the likes of the most beloved Connery films. Sounds like lofty praise but really it earns and…

Sweet Trailer(s)…007 Is Back In 'Skyfall'!
Oh boy, Bond is back and we can honestly say the wait has been far too long!! Since things about the projects have been hush hush until now, save for some snazzy still/set shots and a teaser that was all kinds of WOW, I can’t tell you how overjoyed we are to share the first full trailer for Bond 23, the mysteriously titled Skyfall…No more words, just watch!!! Not good enough for you? Then how about this “International” trailer which changes things up and offers something just a tad different… Daniel Craig is without a doubt one of the best (if not the most idealized) Bond and gives great new…

Sweet (Teaser) Trailer…'Skyfall'
We are about 6 months away from the highly anticipated 23rd entry to the 007 franchise and today we get the very first teaser trailer! Skyfall is directed by Academy Award winner Sam Mendes (Road to Perdition, Away We Go) and will see the return of Daniel Crag for his third outing as the world’s most popular super-spy. For a teaser, this looks really, really good. It doesn’t give much away but still hints at the allure and mystique we’ve come to expect in the James Bond universe. Enough talk, enjoy… Craig will be sharing the screen with some simply top drawer talent including Dame Judi Dench, Ralph Fiennes, Albert Finney, Naomie Harris, Bérénice Marlohe, as…

G-S-T Review…The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
Older actors have fewer and fewer roles. Sure, some male leads have consistent roles here and there (often as villains who don’t do any action), but the women have little to show. The Hollywood system is cruel in that it will use you for the best years of your life and spit you out just when you become comfortable. Not so in The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, Oscar-winning director John Madden’s latest. The film follows a group of retirees in England who decide to take a chance and jump at an advertisement for an exotic hotel in India recently renovated just for the “elderly and beautiful”. These leads to many interesting…

“The CineMagic 8-Ball” – In Theaters 5/4/12
When so many movies are released each weekend and trailers often seem better than the movie itself, what should one do? In this precarious situation, we consult the The CineMagic 8-Ball (TM) to help us see through the nebulous marketing haze. Doing so just might save us all a disheartening trip to the cinema and spare us unnecessarily springing for $7 popcorn. See what the 8-Ball says about this week’s releases… Annd since everyone in the world is probably planning to see The Avengers, here are some alternatives if you didn’t pre-order your tickets and can’t get into Joss Whedon’s comic book blockbuster this weekend. ——————————————————————————————————————————————- THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL British retirees travel to India…

Ohhh, Look…007 'Skyfall' Photos, Production Blog & More – UPDATED
The latest James Bond film Skyfall is slated to hit theaters this Fall on November 9th, 2012. As we approach its release we’ve been given lots of tidbits, in the form of candid shots, but nothing substantial. While they can be neat to look at and pique our interests (like the first one of Javier Bardem) we’re easily a month or two from the first teaser trailer. That said, this post will serve as a catch all for the 007 stuff that’s been released and provide just a little commentary/info about Skyfall (as well as take a break from all the Avengers coverage). James Bond film fans have had to patiently wait…

Bond 23 Officially Called 'SKYFALL' – Starts Shooting Next Week
Today the Web is buzzing with news of the new Bond film. Until now Bond’s upcoming film has been titled very simply Bond 23 but today we get a singular name: Skyfall. Sony Pictures had a big press conference about the next James Bond earlier today and all the key players of Skyfall were present including producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli. The film, from Albert R. Broccoli’s Eon Productions, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, and Sony Pictures Entertainment, is directed by Academy Award winner Sam Mendes and stars Daniel Craig, who returns for his third film as James Bond 007. Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and John Logan wrote the screenplay for Skyfall which goes into…
