After sitting through the mess that was The Last of Robin Hood, where Kevin Kline portrayed the aging swashbuckler Errol Flynn, watching him go toe-to-toe with Maggie Smith in My Old Lady was a welcome treat. Kline plays Mathias Gold, a New Yorker who’s on his last last shot. He’s
If you’ve been watching FX’s The Strain, you already know the fate of Sean Astin‘s character, Jim Kent. If you haven’t been watching and plan to catch up, you might want to stop reading. Co-Created by Guillermo del Toro and Carlton Cuse, the show tells the story of Dr. Ephraim
I’m not the biggest fan of found footage movies. In fact, I hate them. The last one, Into the Storm, was so awful, I told myself that I’d never see another one again. But, then I found out that Bobcat Goldthwait had directed one and I went back on that
Kevin Kline as Errol Flynn is almost no-brainer casting. He’s got the look and can be as suave as anyone on screen. It’s too bad that the script gives him almost nothing to do. The Last of Robin Hood focuses on the last 2 years of Flynn’s life, when the
If you’re a fan of Wes Anderson, you might want to check out The Longest Week because it’s got the look and feel of a Wes Anderson movie, minus that whole Wes Anderson part.
Frank, the new film starring Michael Fassbender, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Domnhall Gleeson, screened at this year’s SXSW Film Festival. It was high on my list of films I wanted to see and I tried everything I could to squeeze it into my schedule. But, I just couldn’t make it happen.
Elisabeth Moss and Mark Duplass have some terrific moments together in Charlie McDowell’s first feature, The One I Love.
It’s been far too long since Susan Sarandon has headlined a movie.

Check out Gerard Butler auditioning for the role of Dracula in the movie, Dracula 2000. The film, about a group of thieves who break into a chamber expecting to find paintings, but instead find Dracula himself, also starred Christopher Plummer, Jonny Lee Miller and Nathan Fillion.

If you ever get a chance to talk with Matthew Lillard, I highly recommend it. Every question he’s asked, he’s got a thoughtful, smart and always interesting response. Even when asked a ridiculously dumb question! Lillard plays the arrogant Daniel Frye on FX’s The Bridge, a reporter with the El
FOX has a new limited-series that’s got a terrific cast and interesting premise. It’s called Wayward Pines and stars Matt Dillon, Carla Gugino, Melissa Leo, Toby Jones, Terrance Howard, Juliette Lewis, Tim Griffin and Shannyn Sossamon. The show, whose pilot was directed by M.

I talked to Shyamalan at Comic-Con in a roundtable interview where he talked about the cast, what he learned from working in TV and how young actor Charlie Tahan started out with a small part but as the story grew, so did his role.
FOX’s upcoming limited series Wayward Pines looks very cool. The show is supposed to be very Twin Peaks-ish in tone which, just hearing that, definitely sparks my interest. The pilot was directed by M. Night Shyamalan and stars Matt Dillon, Carla Gugino, Melissa Leo, Toby Jones, Terrance Howard and Juliette
The Giver, based on a wildly popular young adult novel by Lois Lowry, is a huge disappointment. The film has a nice cast – Jeff Bridges as the Giver, Meryl Streep, Alexander Skarsgard, Katie Holmes and Brenton Thwaites. But as good as they are, they can’t salvage this mess. The
When asked if he likes to know in advance what’s going to happen to his character, he said that he “can’t act it as well if he knows too much.” He goes on to say that he “needs to know as much as Phil Coulson knows in any given scene.”
