John Hillcoat 's The Road didn't make a huge impression in its first weekend in theaters, making a little over $1.5 million in limited release. Hard to blame Hillcoat, though, for a movie that people expected to see a year ago, even if it does have a few problems. He's moving on, however, and by the cast he's assembled for his next film, it's clear that Hillcoat will come out of The Road with a higher...

Terminator Salvation I suspect McG's movie will play really well at home, with the volume turned up and the surround sound explosions masking the lack of a compelling story and lackluster performances. Everyone from Christian Bale to Anton Yelchin to Sam Worthington to Bryce Dallas Howard was overshadowed by the special effects and the robots running rampant. However, at home you can walk in and out,...
It's unlikely that Julie Powell -- blogger turned author turned media celebrity and played by Amy Adams in the film "Julie & Julia" -- is smiling over the early reviews for her new book, "Cleaving: A Story of Marriage, Meat...
See, I told you Hollywood never gets tired of this story . “Leap Year” stars Amy Adams as uptight Anna, who decides to take advantage of an old Irish tradition and fly to Dublin on “Leap Day” to propose to her boyfriend. Of course, she gets sidetracked by a series of comic mishaps and a handsome European stranger—the trailer tells you the rest: It hits theaters in January,...
Director Shawn Levy won’t name names, but he knows why some of the Summer ‘09 comedies flopped while his film “Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian” thrived. It all comes down to tone. “Those movies … were disasters of tone. You don’t service a big, fun premise comedy and then shoot yourself in the foot [...] Related posts: ‘Night at the Museum:...
(My thanks to Ed and KC for their help with this review; they provided company and insight watching the film.) A Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian remains the best advertising possible for the museums that make up the Nation’s Attic. As a movie, though, it’s a bit overstuffed. That’s what some people [...]
This 1956 Broadway musical has already been given the big screen treatment before as a 1964 Academy Award nominated adaptation starring Audrey Hepburn.

Now it looks like the Columbia Pictures project has found a...

Though the The Road only just recently hit theaters over this past Thanksgiving weekend, director John Hillcoat has already been hard at work on a variety of different projects. Though we pointed out a few of them back in September, one that we overlooked is a potential adaptation of The Wettest County in the World, scripted by Nick Cave and based on the novel of the same name by Matt Bondurant. Now,...
I've been keenly eyeing news on John Hillcoat's potential adaptation of The Wettest County in the World, scripted by Nick Cave based on the novel by Matt Bondurant. There's been significant maybe/hopefully casting news for the film so far, but not much more. Hillcoat seems to have Shia LaBeouf and Ryan Gosling interested and/or attached, and there was word that other actors, like Scarlett Johansson...
