The Place Beyond The Pines Review By: MattInRC Overly long and honestly dull, Pines violates a cardinal rule of film-making.  Warning: major spoilers ahead. On paper, the character drama The Place Beyond The Pines seems to have a lot going for it: a deep and very talented excellent cast with a sharp director whose 2010 Blue Valentine was a critical success. But that's where this overly ambitious film about fathers, sons, and the strange path of life runs off the rails, while violating a cardinal rule of film-making along the way. When motorcycle daredevil Luke ( Ryan Gosling , Drive) learns that a one-night stand with fan Romina ( Eva Mendes , Training Day) has produced a son,. he quits the carnival and tries to make a normal life. Unfortunately, he soon realizes that his only option is to partner up for a series of bank heists with his boss. But a deadly meeting between he and newbie police officer Avery Cross ( Bradley Cooper , Limitless) ends with Luke in

TRANCE Review By: MattInRC Does the psychological thriller TRANCE prove itself a worthy affair, or does it need more time in therapy? After a quick start, the movies of 2013 continue to impress, establishing themselves as some of the strongest in recent memory. From extraordinary action/dramas to enjoyable if predictable comedies and good horror, we've seen a diverse collection to be sure. And although audiences have largely stayed away, it certainly hasn't been due to a lack of quality. At the very edge of the commercial spectrum is Trance, a film that pushes about every boundary imaginable with well-crafted precision and a terrific sense of style. When an art heist in London goes bad, the players gather to figure out why their inside man Simon ( James McAvoy , X-Men: First Class) hid the painting rather than delivering it. Front-man Franck ( Vincent Cassel , Black Swan) wants his painting, as its high price will pay off the high debt which the gambler Simo

DO NOT WATCH THIS TRAILER AT WORK!! James McAvoy has recently been getting in touch with his Scottish roots onstage in Macbeth, but he's gone full Glaswegian* onscreen in Filth, as the violent, drink-addled, drug-addicted, thoroughly reprehensible Bruce Robertson, the protagonist of Irvine Welsh's story. And you can see just how far he's gone to the bad in this trailer, which is not safe for work so we've put it at the bottom of the page in case your boss looks over your shoulder. The plot sees McAvoy's corrupt, bigoted cop up for promotion, and determined to do everything possible (which in his case is quite a lot) to block the path of rival Ray Lennox (Jamie Bell) and his other colleagues. That's when he can spare time from his busy drinking / screwing / drug-snorting schedule, of course. The film also stars Eddie Marsan, Jim Broadbent, Joanne Froggatt, Shirley Henderson, Kate Dickie and Imogen Poots , and is directed and adapted by Jon S. Baird.

42 Review By: MattInRC 42 is a powerful and feel-good account of the first black player to join the Major Leagues. As a long-time fan of the Los Angeles Dodgers , I cannot help but be proud of the team's heritage. Among the best of these boasts is the story of first baseman Jackie Robinson , whose historic signing by executive Branch Rickey in 1947 lead to a smashing of the color barrier in Major League Baseball. And while several movies have tried to tell Robinson's story (including one starring the athlete himself), none have come as close as this week's release of 42 , a spirited and uplifting surprise in every way. As World War II ends and baseball's heroes return from active duty to renew the National Pastime, Brooklyn Dodgers executive Branch Rickey ( Harrison Ford , Blade Runner) makes a monumental decision: it is time to bring the first black player into the league. Although blacks served and died in the war, respect in peacetime has been

" Arrow " is wrapping up its successful first season while planting seeds for its next one. Colton Haynes and Manu Bennett have signed on for season two, ensuring that fans will be seeing a lot more of Roy Harper and Slade Wilson next year. The last few episodes have also also raised the profile of characters like the Huntress, Shado and the Count. Now executive producer Marc Guggenheim has teased via Twitter that another DC Comics character may be popping in for a visit. Check out the tweet below. The " Kord " in Kord Industries refers to Ted Kord, perhaps better known as the second Blue Beetle. Kord joined the DC Universe after the 1986 event "Crisis On Infinite Earths." He then became a much beloved member of the Justice League in "Justice League International" and its various other incarnations between the late '80s and much of the '90s. It's definitely not an understatement to say that comic book fans (including the

With an animated film based on the Troll doll toy franchise already in development, DreamWorks Animation has gone one step further and bought the entire brand, and has tapped American Girl veteran Shawn Dennis to oversee the brand for the toon studio. Deal with the Dam Family and Dam Things of Denmark now makes DreamWorks Animation the exclusive worldwide licensor of merchandise rights for the Trolls, except for Scandanavia, the birthplace of the characters, where Dam Things will remain the licensor. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. DWA first brokered the film rights for a Trolls movie in 2010. Dennis will focus on relaunching the Trolls brand worldwide and introducing them to a new generation of kids. “Trolls is a brand with over fifty years of deep heritage and we are thrilled to bring this iconic, multi-generational property to DreamWorks Animation,” said chief operating officer Ann Daly. “We have big plans for this franchise and Shawn Dennis is uniquely sui
