BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Here Comes Optimus Prime In These New Images From Age Of Extinction

Thanks to Empire they have gone big rather than home with our cover movie, Transformers: Age Of Extinction . Yes, Michael Bay's back, but this time he's accompanied by Mark Wahlberg, Stanley Tucci, Kelsey Grammer, Jack Reynor, Sophia Myles and Nicola Peltz . This fourth film in the franchise is something of a fresh start, and sees an Earth scarred by the events of the last three films but moving on after the disappearance of all giant robots (although we're guessing that everyone gives their car a suspicious look in the morning, lest it suddenly turn into a giant mechanoid). In particular, Shia LaBeouf and family have moved on and we have some new leads. When Mark Wahlberg's inventor, Cade Yeager, discovers a buried Transformer, the stage is set for the return of the giant beasties. There will also be some business with Cade's daughter Tessa ( Nicola Peltz ); her secret racing driver boyfriend Shane; Stanley Tucci's Joshua; his geologist assistant Da...

Oldboy Review. A Hardcore Of A Revenge Film

Oldboy Review By: RAMA RAMA is back with another review for us. Please make sure to follow him on Facebook and Twitter . It’s been years since I watched Chan-wook Park’s film that pretty much took 2003 by storm, everybody was talking about Oldboy , I remember that much. I remember watching the movie and it felt like I needed a thicker skin. I don’t know if Park would be flattered by this remake and I may be alone on this but I think Spike Lee did it justice in terms of maintaining how disturbing, how chilling and unforgiving this film is. Revenge that turns into redemption. At times, it even gets diabolically fun. OLDBOY is a provocative, visceral thriller that follows the story of Joe Doucette, a man who is abruptly kidnapped and held hostage for 20 years in solitary confinement, for no apparent reason. When he is suddenly released without explanation, he begins an obsessive mission to find out who imprisoned him, only to discover that the real mystery is why he wa...

Frozen & Catching Fire Are Breaking Records This Thanksgiving Holiday.

The pair of films will each rake in more money than any previous holiday title, not accounting for inflation; Spike Lee's " Oldboy " bombing. Disney's family film Frozen and Lionsgate's The Hunger Games: Catching Fire are making history at the Thanksgiving box office, where they are set to gross as much as $90 million and $100 million, respectively, for the Wednesday-Sunday stretch. FROZEN Review - HomeFront - The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - In regards to records, Frozen is easily on course to nab the top Thanksgiving opening of all time, eclipsing the $80.1 million five-day debut of Pixar's Toy Story 2 in 1999. It's also destined to score the top opening for a Disney Animation Studios title, besting the $68.7 million debut of Tangled over Thanksgiving in 2010. Catching Fire , now in its second weekend, will mark the top-grossing Thanksgiving film of any movie, topping previous record-holder Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone ($...

The Visitor Blu-ray Review. "Indescribably Weird" Doesn't Begin To Capture Our Thoughts

The Visitor Blu-ray Review By: MattInRC The release of The Visitor on Blu-ray is an oddly-crafted creation, even by today's standards. If you never heard of international film producer Ovidio G. Assonitis , you're not alone. A maverick of the 1970's, he regularly 're-imagined' successful films of the time into cheap knockoffs ( Jaws became Tentacles, The Exorcist morphed into Beyond the Door ). Assonitis had a style to sure, and many of his films exult in their oddity and blatant 'borrowing.' Among his greatest 'creations' is The Visitor , a film so odd - even by today's warped standards - that it instantly enters our Top 5 list. Its eminent arrival onto Blu-ray gives us a chance to look back at what can only be described as an incredibly weird concoction. Picture this: intergalactic warrior Jerzy Colsowicz ( John Huston ) joins forces with a Christ-like alien figure ( Franco Nero ) to battle the demonic 8 year old Katy ( Paige C...
