Sundance Review: “Strangerland” Has Impressive Performances But No Resolution
Title: Strangerland Director: Kim Farrant Screenwriter: Fiona Seres and Michael Kinirons Principal Cast: Nicole Kidman, Joseph Fiennes, Hugo Weaving, Lisa Flanagan, Meyne Wyatt, and Maddison Brown Sometimes I feel like Nicole Kidman doesn’t always get the credit she deserves when it comes to acting.

WPR Box Office Report: February 2
There is not much news this past week in the world of movies, unless you count all the news coming out of Sundance, which most are unconfirmed reports of films being sold. What we do have, is a gigantic list of new trailers. There are too many to post here, but we did post them […]
It’s a New Trailer Cluster, For You.
Over the weekend there were more than a few new movie trailers, most aired during the Supherb Owl, which many of us didn’t watch. If you are like me, and you didn’t see these on Sunday, I give them to you here, all in one place. Fantastic Four 50 Shades of Grey Ted 2 Inside […]

Sundance Review: “Z For Zachariah” Is Depressing and Predictable

Make Your Short Films Longer?
I recently went to a screening of Wild. It was great, but that’s not what this post is about. Screenwriters are told so often that Voice Over is bad writing, that it has become a part of the Hollywood ether. Does that mean American Hustle is bad? No. I thought it was good. I also […]
