CONTAGION Movie Review By: Rama

CONTAGION Movie Review By: Rama Ramascreen made it through the screening of the film and didn't get sick. He delivers another knock review. Please make sure to follow him on Facebook and Twitter . (cough) CONTAGION and The Walking Dead put some attention back on Centers For Disease Control , just like Dan Brown’s book Deception Point and the recent movie Apollo 18 made NASA seem like it still matters somehow (cough), oh excuse me, I may have caught a bug or something (cough!). CONTAGION is an ambitious paranoia movie that’s too big for its own good. Sure it has great Oscar worthy A-list talents but Soderbergh puts more focus on the symptoms and the lethal effect that the virus has on the characters than the characters themselves. It’s always a gamble when you’re dealing with such huge cast, you run the risk of paying little to no attention to some of them. And it’s probably just me but watching CONTAGION also feels like watching a boring series of montage… When Beth Em

Julianne Moore Is Your English Teacher

There are some ginormous Julianne Moore fans around these parts, so any day when she signs up for a new project seems like a Good Day. Ideally she'd sign up for a new project every day but that would probably destroy her. Instead, we'll take tidings that she's joining Greg Kinnear in The English Teacher and hope it gives her plenty of opportunity to flaunt her acting chops. Billed as an 'indie comedy', The English Teache r follows high-school English teacher Linda Sinclair ( Moore ) whose life is turned upside down by the return of a star student. Said pupil has failed as a playwright in New York and gone back to his small-town school, presumably in some kind of teaching capacity, where he makes things awkward for Sinclair. Whether there's a romantic angle, we're not wholly sure, but they're unlikely to be spending the time bickering over Walt Whitman. The English Teacher marks the directorial debut of Craig Zisk. He's got a solid chunk of of

"GOON" International Trailer Starring Seann William Scott & Liev Schreiber

We have the international trailer for GOON Starring Seann William Scott, Jay Baruchel, Marc Andre Grondin, Liev Schreiber, Eugene Levy and Alison Pill.  Doug Glatt, ( Seann William Scott ) the black sheep of an illustrious medical family is working as a bouncer when he gets roped into going to a local hockey team's game by his hockey fanatic pal, Pat (Jay Baruchel). When Pat incites the opposing team's enforcer to climb out of the penalty box and into the audience after him, Doug steps in and to everyone's surprise, especially the local team's coach, quickly puts the player down. He is invited to a tryout with the team and after basically taking on and creaming most of his future team mates after they tease him about his unrefined skating abilities, he is taken aboard. He eventually acquires a modicum of skill while crushing every opposing goon in the league. This attracts the attention of the Halifax Highlanders, the cellar dwellers in a league another rung hig

New Clip From The Thing "Gets Loose"

Empire got an exclusive clip from the upcoming film The Thing . Yes, it's somewhat confusing for the 2011 prequel to 1982's The Thing to also be called The Thing , but it's definitely the new one that we're dealing with now, as we present a new clip from the new story of alien goings-on in the Antarctic and the dangers of thoughtlessly thawing out shapeshifting beasties. This story picks up a thread briefly touched on in the John Carpenter Thing, wherein we learn that the alien had been discovered under the Antarctic ice, deep frozen, and brought inside by the staff of a Norwegian Antarctic base. Given the havoc it wreaked in Carpenter's film, it's no spoiler to say that not all of them would, with hindsight, describe the decision to bring the thing indoors as a good one. The Thing (2011) stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Joel Edgerton, Eric Christian Olsen, Adewale Akinuoye-Agbaje, Ulrich Thomsen and Kim Bubbs . Watch the clip after the Jump... The Th
