Wanna win a shirt from the Hit film THE WALK ? Twelve people have walked on the moon, but only one man - Philippe Petit ( Joseph Gordon-Levitt ) - has ever, or will ever, walk in the immense void between the World Trade Center towers. Guided by his real-life mentor, Papa Rudy ( Ben Kingsley ), and aided by an unlikely band of international recruits, Petit and his gang overcome long odds, betrayals, dissension and countless close calls to conceive and execute their mad plan. Robert Zemeckis, the director of such marvels as Forrest Gump, Cast Away, Back to the Future, Polar Express and Flight, again uses cutting edge technology in the service of an emotional, character-driven story. With innovative photo realistic techniques and IMAX 3D ® wizardry, The Walk is true big-screen cinema, a chance for moviegoers to viscerally experience the feeling of reaching the clouds. The film is a love letter to Paris and New York City in the 1970s, but most of all, to the Towers of the World Trade

The real life trip across The Twin Towers is only exciting at the end. Review by Matt Cummings The events of 9/11 are still fresh in my mind, as if my vacation-turned-nightmare to New York that week happened only recently. Perhaps it's my connection as my birthplace that keeps me anchored there, but to know it captured the imagination of so many is the only consolation I can take. Perhaps the most stunning of those was Phillipe's Petit's high-wire antics across the buildings in 1974, which is now the subject of a major motion picture. And while The Walk looks good on IMAX, its small and frustrating story derails the experience. When the French high-wire performer Phillipe Petit (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) learns that the massive World Trade Center Towers are about to become the world's tallest structure, he heads to New York City to cross them before they are completed. He takes the girlfriend Annie (Charlotte Le Bon) with him, seeking insight from an aging

Perhaps the biggest problem for World War Z's sequel is what to call it. World War Z 2? World War Zour? World War Z: Zed's Dead? Then there's possibilty of the threequel's name being World War Z 3, which doesn't even bear thinking about. And yet, it is under consideration, as Brad Pitt revealed to the press at this year's Toronto Film Festival. “We’re certainly talking about it, yes,” he told Variety . “We have so many ideas on the table from the time we spent developing this thing and figuring out how the zombie worlds work. We gotta get the script right first to determine if we go further.” Very loosely based on Max "Son of Mel" Brooks' apocalyptic zombie novel World War Z, the Marc Forster movie cost nearly $200 million to make - thanks, in part, to lengthy third act reshoots that led many to believe it would be a cast-iron clanger on release - but has so far made $533 million at the worldwide box office. This makes it Brad Pitt's h

The mega-budget " The Lone Ranger " went down in a cloud of a dust in its box-office debut over the July 4 weekend, saddling the studio with a " John Carter "-sized disaster. Over the five-day holiday weekend, the masked rider will have brought in around $49 million . That's about $20 million under analysts' projections and nearly $90 million behind the total of the No. 1 movie, Universal and Illumination Entertainment's animated family film " Despicable Me 2 ." The Lone Ranger Review - Worse, the $29.4 million three-day Friday-Sunday total for the $225 million adaptation of the classic radio and TV show, with Armie Hammer as the title character and Johnny Depp as Tonto, was weaker than that of last year's bomb " John Carter ." That $250-million sci-fi adventure opened to $30.1 million, topped out at $73 million at the domestic box office and Disney wound up with a $200 million write down. It's hard to imagine

The Lone Ranger Review By: MattInRC The enjoyable, big western The Lone Ranger surprises in many ways. And that's a good thing. If you've not been following the troubled, off-again/on-again production of Disney's The Lone Ranger , here's a quick rundown: origin story with werewolves (no I'm not kidding) gets pulled by Mouse House after its creators can't guarantee the pricetag wouldn't stay below $250 million, then is suddenly resurrected once the monsters are removed. But, does Disney's decision to ditch the dogs represent a dodged bullet (no pun intended)? Luckily, the answer is yes: The Lone Ranger is fun and entertaining, even though it's too long. You know this story: John Reid ( Armie Hammer , J. Edgar) and a band of Texas Rangers are ambushed by the wanted felon Butch Cavandesh ( William Fichtner , The Dark Knight). The Indian Tonto ( Johnny Depp , POTC series) finds the bodies but soon realizes that John's contains t

WORLD WAR Z Review By: MattInRC Does the long-delayed World War Z prove its meddle, or does it get eaten up by flesh-eating zombies? If you've been following the production nightmare behind World War Z , you have to wonder how it ever made it out to theaters: a long-delayed path to securing the funding to shoot, plus a massive re-write of the script, resulting in a six-week re-shoot of Act 3 costing more than $70 million, and finally director and star not getting along. Such issues would have killed most projects, but this is Brad Pitt after all, and he's demonstrated many times his tenacity in seeing a project through. And while somewhat enjoyable, the film resembles the original book in name only, dumping many characters alongside the road like an unwanted bag of trash. As the zombie apocalypse descends on the world, former UN operative Gerry Lane ( Brad Pitt , Mr. and Mrs. Smith) and his family are caught without means of escape. But when help arrives i
