BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Fury Review: Brutal, Barbaric Tank Epic Largely Succeeds

Fury is a brutal, even barbaric, take on the last months of WWII. To those of you who have served or continue to do so, I thank you. The task of defending our country is not an easy one, especially when forced to make tough choices that result in the loss of lives when war is unleashed. The David Ayer WWII tank epic Fury sure doesn't pull punches about those choices, delivering the most brutal affair since S aving Private Ryan . In the final months of WWII, the effort to defeat the Germans has been met not with surrender but with desperation. Caught in the madness of war, tank commander Don "Wardaddy" Collier (Brad Pitt) leads a motley crew of psychopaths: the tank driver Gordo (Michael Pena), the vicious backwater "Coon-Ass" (Jon Bernthal), and "Bible" (Shia LaBeouf), an evangelical Christian with the gift of biblical gab. Suffering the loss of one of their own, Wardaddy is forced to take on fresh recruit Norman Ellison (Logan Lerman)

Watch the Trailer for Fury

The trailer for Brad Pitt's WWII tank movie has arrived. Writer/director David Ayer has had it rough as of late. The creator of the highly-acclaimed End of Watch struck out big time with Arnold Schwarzenegger's Sabotage , but now the Oscar-winner is back with a look at the final year of WWII. He goes back in time for the goes back in time with the upcoming historical thriller Fury . The trailer, which can be viewed below, offers up a 300-esque showdown involving an American tank against hundreds of German soldiers. In the trailer, we can see Ayer's trademark gritty style, but it's his writing that fans are most hopeful to witness. The story tells of Norman Ellison (Logan Lerman), who served under Sergeant Wardaddy’s (Brad Pitt) tank crew, as the team fights through the final bloddy days of the war. There seems to be a strong Band of Brothers theme occurring here as well. Ayer is no stranger to WWII films - he wrote U-571 , which strayed away from fact

TV Review: Rosemary’s Baby – Part 1

TV Review: Rosemary’s Baby – Part 1 By: Brandon Wolfe Remakes of classic horror films are always a dicey game. Stick too close to the source material and the whole endeavor feels pointless, but stray too far and you rankle purists, most of whom probably already have it out for you in the first place. For there is a reason these films are held in such high regard and the hubris required for someone to decide that there is room for improvement almost feels a little offensive, if not like outright heresy. It’s a nearly impossible needle to thread successfully. Zack Snyder’s remake of ‘ Dawn of the Dead ’ is the only example that immediately springs to mind as an attempt that has worked. That film borrowed just the core premise of people holing up in a mall from zombies outside, but otherwise went its own way, finding its own unique energy. Rare is the horror remake that bothers to go off-book like that and carve out its own identity. Most are content to regurgitate what we’ve already
