FLIGHT Review. Is The Film Oscar Worthy?

FLIGHT Review By: MattInRC Does Flight secure yet another Oscar nod for Denzel Washington , or is this flight stuck on the tarmac?  Warning - major spoilers ahead. Among the best actors of our time, Denzel Washington's resume is unmatched: from Glory and Philadelphia, to Crimson Tide and (one of this year's best) Safe House , Washington's ability to engross us with his roles sometimes outdoes the film itself (think Man on Fire ). His recent choices have taken on morally ambivalent anti-heroic characters, doomed to difficulty, failure, and ultimately redemption. And although Flight suits his Modus operandi, resulting in yet another intense white-knuckled affair, it's the script's inconsistencies that eventually bring this plane down. Washington plays Whip Whitaker, a pilot for the fictitious South Jet Airlines, whose sorted lifestyle choices find him in the first scene passed out in an Orlando hotel room with stewardess Katerina Marquez ( Na

Who Was the Original Marty McFly? Everyone knows the classic 1985 film " Back to the Future " featured a boyish Michael J. Fox in a winning performance as Marty McFly . But Fox was not the original McFly. In fact, Eric Stoltz was five weeks into shooting the famed McFly role when director and co-writer Robert Zemeckis made a drastic production decision -- changing his lead actor. Details of the shocking Hollywood switch and never-before-seen footage of Stoltz as McFly are part of the extras package for the "Back to the Future 25th Anniversary Trilogy " to be released on Blu-Ray on Oct. 26. Watch the video after the Jump.. Zemeckis says the casting change was "this horrific decision; it was heartbreaking for everybody." Executive producer Steven Spielberg said that Zemeckis consulted him before pursuing the casting change. "(Zemeckis) showed me the first five weeks of shooting that he had put together," Spielberg said. " And

Zack Snyder To Direct Superman Movie

Zack Snyder To Direct Superman Movie Updated: Zack Snyder just tweeted this on his twitter account. Can u Guess what picture? @ZackSnyder: I finally get to put my 32 cents in... Zack Snyder has been chosen to direct the new Superman movie, which Christopher Nolan is producing for Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures. Negotiations began earlier today. Snyder had been on the list of helmers ensconced in meetings with Nolan and Warners execs, who in recent weeks have talked to Darren Aronofsky, Ben Affleck, Matt Reeves and Tony Scott . The job was so coveted that even Robert Zemeckis , retired to the world of performance capture, considered returning to live-action filmmaking in order to nab the gig. A new Superman movie is one of the studio's top priorities, not only since it serves as linchpin for its line of DC superhero-based films, but especially since Warners needs to be in production on a new Superman movie by 2011 or risk losing certain copyrights to the heirs
