Win Tickets To An Advance For Screening For on Monday, November 25th @ 7PM in San Francisco. PHILOMENA  is a 2013 British drama film directed by Stephen Frears. It was screened in the main competition section at the 70th Venice International Film Festival where Steve Coogan and Jeff Pope won the award for Best Screenplay. At the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival it was awarded the People's Choice Award Runner-Up prize. Based on the 2009 investigative book by BBC correspondent Martin Sixsmith, The Lost Child of Philomena Lee, PHILOMENA focuses on the efforts of Philomena Lee ( Dench ), mother to a boy conceived out of wedlock—something her Irish-Catholic community didn’t have the highest opinion of—and given away for adoption in the United States. In following church doctrine, she was forced to sign a contract that wouldn’t allow for any sort of inquiry into the son’s whereabouts. After starting a family years later in England and, for the most part, moving on with h

Dallas Buyers Club Review By: MattInRC Why does the raunchy Dallas Buyers Club have to be so...raunchy? The intense and rowdy Dallas Buyers Club is uncomfortable to watch, not merely for its story about a 1986 Dallas bull rider stricken with AIDS (a particularly good Matthew McConaughey ) and his attempts to bring medicine across the Mexican border, but for the line it crosses in the first minute. McConaughey's Woodroof is seen having sex in the bull stalls before a competition, while a fellow rider appears to die in the ring. For that time, such lewd behavior was probably normal, but soon he's using language that no reviewer can share to describe actor Rock Hudson's affliction and Woodroof's feelings about homosexuals. Cue the moment when a local doctor informs him that he too has contracted HIV, due entirely to a wild sex-drugs lifestyle that's left him emaciated and easily bruised. Woodroof decides it's time to seek treatment, which won

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Review By: MattInRC The thoroughly enjoyable The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is a gut punch that might be too much for younger audiences. Sequels - and particularly sophomore efforts in a series - are hard to pull off. Expectations ran too high with Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom , and in many ways Iron Man 2 and 3 have suffered the same fate. Others - like the predictable Grown Ups 2 - never grow beyond their scope, content to churn out a perfect duplicate while raking in the cash. Luckily, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire doesn't rest on the laurels of its older brother and excels in every way possible, delivering a powerful swing of the axe to our characters that reminds us of The Empire Strikes Back. Set three months after the 74th Hunger Games, Fire shows us that not all is well across the 12 districts: protests and violent responses by The Capitol City and its dictator President Snow ( Donald Sutherland ) are on the rise, as

Previewing THE WOLVERINE: Unleashed Extended Edition (Q&A with Director James Mangold) First I want to thank Tiffany Vogt for covering this event for SandwichJohnFilms. You can follow her on Twitter   and see her handy work over at   TV addict.com . For fans who saw the theatrical release of the film THE WOLVERINE last summer, they may wonder what the extended edition has to offer that they have not already seen. A lot apparently. The extended version offered by director James Mangold (“3:10 to Yuma”) includes two key fight/action scenes with Logan ( Hugh Jackman ), as well as scenes fleshing out Logan’s female companions, Yukio ( Rila Fukusima ) and Mariko ( Tao Okamoto ), both heroines in their own right. For THE WOLVERINE: Unleashed Extended Edition , director James Mangold had a very specific vision of Logan and the type of hero he is as the Wolverine. By adding the two extended fight sequences back into the film, it helped illustrate the tenacity and sheer determi
