One of the greatest compliments that I can pay Iain Softley's new Voodoo-esque thriller The Skeleton Key is that the breathtaking beauty of Kate Hudson is one of the least interesting things in the film. Sure, there are moments of partial nudity, as Hudson meanders around an old mansion in southern Louisiana in VERY short shorts.
Ask just about anyone if they have a celebrity crush and the answer will be yes. If they answer in the negative, then they are either just lying to you or are in denial about something.
In one of the opening sequences you get an overhead view of the city of Caracas, Venezuela. Ramshackle houses litter the hillsides surrounding the city, while nicer buildings rise up in the middle. You immediately get a sense of what life in this densely populated city must be like: desperate.
Well, it looks like every redneck's dreams have come true. The good ole boys are back.
I can't begin to understand how the Dukes of Hazzard television phenomenon was ever started or how it was created. I just remember it was huge for its day and it is amazing how long it lasted.
EIFF Review: Edgar G. Ulmer - The Man Off-Screen
Posted by: Scott Hayes • July 29, 2005 @ 11:59am
Knowing little about Ulmer, I ventured out on a cold Sunday afternoon for this doc about the supposed King of the B's, a man from Europe who made American movies. Featuring lots of interview subjects including Peter Bogdanovitch, Roger Corman, and Wim Wenders, just about the only person who doesn't have a part on screen is Ulmer himself. He is, after all, The Man Off-Screen.
Let's say that Stanley Kubrick's HAL from the classic 2001: A Space Odyssey starred in the 1986 cheese-ball actioner Iron Eagle â€" then you might have an idea to what Stealth actually is.
Josh Lucas, Jamie Foxx, and Jessica Biel are the best and brightest pilots the Navy has ever known.
I don't know what it is about the romantic comedy but it's a very stale genre. It's predictable, routine, and well, very formulaic. And once again here we are.
Must Love Dogs stars Diane Lane as Sarah, a recently divorced single trying to pick up the pieces of her life.
Dogs are great. This movie is not great. It's a dog. That, in a nutshell, is my review.
So, this is what Diane Lane has been up to since her Oscar nomination for Unfaithful. John Cusack is along for the ride in a movie without style or plot. I mean, it has a plot, but a 2nd grader can tell you what's going to happen and how it ends.
The CGI animated series Game Over probably isn't a series a lot of you are going to remember.
In the independent drama Lightning Bug, Bret Harrison stars as Green Graves, a tormented dreamer whose only aspiration is to become a horror film makeup artist. Graves' struggle to reach his goal is plagued by his unlucky mother, Jenny (Ashley Laurence), and his new highly-abusive stepfather, Earl (Kevin Gage).
