For a couple hundred Katy Perry fans, Last Friday night was just as epic as the video for her song of the same name. In town to perform on Sundays Much Music Video Music Awards, Katy surprised fans by showing up at an advance screening of her new film Katy Perry: Part of Me in 3D.
Harold Perrineau's work on screens both big and small has cemented him as an undeniable talent. He began his career doing theater in New York City but, quickly found himself working alongside the likes of Christopher Walken, Wesley Snipes and Laurence Fishburne in Abel Ferarra's cult masterpiece King of New York (1987).
From that very first shot... That sideways tracking shot across the vast second floor of the Bishop family house, I was grinning from ear to ear. We are firmly and beautifully implanted back inside the familiar surroundings of a great Wes Anderson film. Cue the Welcome Back, Kotter theme.
The plot follows two young lovers who run off into the woods together.
I want to start with this: I usually love the work of David Cronenberg.
When his newest, Django Unchained hits theaters this Christmas, it will have been three years since the words "Written and Directed by Quentin Tarantino" graced cinema screens. Each one of his films is so unique; spanning so many genres- that every new film's release becomes an event.

In the old days, news papers used to print something called the "Crix Picks", similar to what Rotten Tomatoes does. But when the blockbuster movie was born in the 1970's, everything changed. They ditched the "Crix" and started printing the Box Office Top 10, as is the standard today.
I've been waiting four long years to hear that iconic MGM lion let out another fierce roar. Four long years to see martinis drank as villains monologue their plans for world domination. Four long years to see Britain's top secret agent renew his license to kill.
I am a member of a group of people that make up a far greater portion of the population than you'd think: People who are frothing with anticipation for a new film from Paul Thomas Anderson. Any film by Paul Thomas Anderson. This week, we rejoiced.
Well this is the first blockbuster of the summer you can skip.
Since Iron Man (2008), many have patiently waited as Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) slowly assembled (tee hee hee) a team of far-flung superheroes, one at a time. We knew this was coming. As much fun as those post-credits recruitment scenes were, I regarded them with dread.
