Contagion – Review
The trailer for Contagion makes it look like an action thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. While it is a thriller there is not much action in it. For a movie that wants to scare you it is surprising emotional driven thanks to Mitch Emhoff’s storyline. With all the science [...]
Adjusting the Adjustment Bureau
When a movie could have been good, but wasn’t, it becomes an even worse movie experience than if there had been no expectation, no potential, for anything better. So it was with The Adjustment Bureau. This movie was like 30 Days of Night: it had everything going for it—unique premise, great cast, decent if not [...]
True Grit – review
True Grit is the latest movie from the Coen brothers, and their best since No Country for Old Men. It convinces me that they should stick to movies that are not comedic in structure but simply in tone; this is a revenge story layered with dark humor, but the characters and the situations are always, [...]
True Grit – Movie Review
I review the new TV shows, movies, books, and recap the episodes you missed. Generally speaking anything by the Coen Brothers will be good and True Grit is no exception. Joel and Ethan Coen bring us one of the best westerns since Unforgiven. In True Grit a young woman named Mattie Ross hires a Marshal [...]
Matt Damon in Blomkamp’s Elysium?
Production news for Elysium, the new film from Neill Blomkamp, is pretty hush-hush right now. Not much is known about what the film will be about, or who it will star. However, a piece of that puzzle may be falling into place, and it’s definitely good news for the director. Deadline reported today that Matt [...]
Patrick Fugit and Elle Fanning added to Damon and Johansson in We Bought a Zoo
Yawn, moan, zzzzz… Those sounds, of course, are of me getting ready to write about the additions of Patrick Fugit and Elle Fanning to the cast of We Bought a Zoo starring Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson. The announcement came today from the website Deadline, and while the cast is shaping up to be pretty [...]
Hereafter – movie review
It’s almost Halloween, so I was in the mood for something a little creepy that wasn’t actually scary. Hereafter seemed to fit the bill. What could be creepier than a psychic Matt Damon and a few haunted people? At the same time, it didn’t seem gimmicky or scary. Hereafter turned out to be a very [...]
No Bourne or Matt Damon in The Bourne Legacy
Director-screenwriter Tony Gilroy has contacted Hollywood Elsewhere to clarify some points following Michael Flemings’ recent Deadline story about The Bourne Legacy. Rather than being an adaptation of Robert Ludlum’s book, the movie will merely take the title and ”will not use the story”, Gilroy says. Furthermore, Matt Damon will not be recast as Jason Bourne [...]
True Grit teaser trailer
True Grit teaser trailer excitement abounds, and BSC is here to give it to you! As a native, resident, and lover of the Fort Smith, Arkansas region, this film has special meaning for me, although I will be the first to admit that it’s a relatively unnecessary remake of the John Wayne original. The only [...]
Emily Blunt and Matt Damon – PKD’s ‘Adjustment Bureau’ trailer
If it involves Philip K. Dick and blunts I’m all in, especially if it’s Emily Blunt (who was teh first actress offered the role of Black Widow in Iron Man 2). You add Matt Damon and a reunion with George Nolfi, who he collaborated with on The Bourne Ultimatum and Ocean’s Twelve (screenplay), and you [...]
