The Looper Comic-Con Recap

He might not have been a Hall H veteran such as Len Wiseman or Paul WS Anderson , but Rian Johnson had a few secret weapons up his sleeve when he arrived in San Diego to premiere some new footage from Looper. The footage was one big draw, and he also brought Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Emily Blunt to charm the crowd. The Looper footage was a slickly edited montage culled from footage already available in the trailers and some new material, including an extended look at Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s diner confrontation as the two sides of the “Looper”, Joe. Johnson’s film, which takes place in the near future, follows Joe, who works for an organized crime ring that exists even further into the space-time continuum. There, time travel was invented, but outlawed, and the mob uses it to send victims back to be dealt with in the most untraceable way possible. But then, as Gordon-Levitt explains in the footage, his bosses decided to close his loop, and send his older self (W

THE RUM DIARY Movie Review By: Rama

THE RUM DIARY Movie Review By: Rama Did Rama have one to many shots of Rum when he wrote his review? Make to follow him on Facebook and Twitter . A man could die from alcoholic poisoning just by watching THE RUM DIARY . It’s got so much consumption, it almost tempts people like me who’ve kicked the habit a while ago, to start drinking again. But on to the film, my mistake was that I was half hoping this would be just as uproarious and mindtripping as Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas but THE RUM DIARY is a pretty disjointed adventure Puerto Rico in the ’60s. Keep in mind that I’ve never read the book that this film is based on and I’m sure there’s tons of Hunter S. Thompson’s fans out there who’d be more passionate about this film, but what doesn’t sell me the most about THE RUM DIARY is that in this film, everybody but Johnny Depp is interesting … Based on the debut novel by Hunter S. Thompson, the film tells the increasingly unhinged story of itinerant journalist Paul K

FilmDistrict Gets Their Hands On Red Dawn Remake, But Is It To Late?

A remake of the invasion movie " Red Dawn " — with its villains now digitally modified from Chinese to North Korean — will finally hit American shores next year. The new version of the Reagan-era classic will be released in the U.S. by independent studio FilmDistrict , according to people familiar with the matter but not authorized to discuss it publicly. FilmDistrict is finalizing a deal with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer , the studio that produced the movie in 2009. In the original "Red Dawn," a group of teenagers in a Washington town battle invading Soviet forces; in the remake, the invaders were changed to Chinese. But that decision turned the film into a hot potato. After MGM emerged from bankruptcy in late 2009 and decided it wouldn’t release the movie, no other studio wanted to touch “Red Dawn” for fear of offending the government of China, a hugely important market in the increasingly global film business. As a result, the movie’s producers last winter used d

The Lion King Roars Over FilmDistrict’s Drive

With a mighty roar, Disney’s 17-year old The Lion King claimed the weekend box office crown, easily conquering three new wide releases in the process. Freshly updated to a new 3D version, the classic animated movie took in an estimated $29.3 million in North America, an astounding number. 'Drive' Movie Review Of the new arrivals, FilmDistrict’s Drive , the neo-noir thriller starring Ryan Gosling showed the most gas, taking in $11 million, although it still checked in the third position, unable to pass Steven Soderbergh’s medical thriller Contagion , which, in its second weekend, took the second spot with $14.5 million. Sony/Scream Gem’s remake Straw Dogs , directed by Rod Lurie, settled for a fifth place showing with a $5 million opening, while the Weinstein Co.’s femme-centric comedy I Don’t Know How She Does It , with Sarah Jessica Parker, was sixth with $4.5 million. 'Contagion' Movie Review As the weekend began, Disney had modest expectations for King.

DRIVE Movie Review By Rama

DRIVE Movie Review By: Rama So what did Ramascreen think of Drive ? Come read his review and see what he thought of the movie. Please make sure to follow him on Facebook and Twitter . DRIVE is the best gangster film since The Departed. Ryan Gosling ’s performance is reminiscent of young Robert DeNiro when he ruled the ’70s cinema and his character is very much like one of those Samurai warriors who live and die by their code of honor. DRIVE is like Scorsese meets Bullit with music ala Bret Easton Ellis’ adaptations. Beautifully shot, director Nicolas Winding Refn has found his latest masterpiece, an instant classic. DRIVE is simply the best film of 2011.. Ryan Gosling stars as a Los Angeles wheelman for hire, stunt driving for movie productions by day and steering getaway vehicles for armed heists by night. Though a loner by nature, Driver can’t help falling in love with his beautiful neighbor Irene ( Carey Mulligan ), a vulnerable young mother dragged into a dangerous underw
