  • The Soloist Review
    By: Pete Hammond April 23, 2009 8:50pm EST
    This poignant true story of the relationship between a newspaperman and a homeless musical prodigy is worthwhile but unsatisfying.
  • Showbiz Stock Watch: Warner Bros Is the Favorite in the 2008 Market Share
    By: Steve Mason August 15, 2008 9:45am EST
    The certain $500M+ domestic box office take of The Dark Knight has moved Warner Bros past Paramount/Dreamworks in the 2008 market share race, and, with Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince set for November, the studio seemed a lock to sail past Sony’s 2006 domestic box office record of $1.71 billion. The 2008 release schedule got a major shake-up on Thursday, however, as Warner Bros shifted Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince to next July '09.
  • Elegy Review
    By: Pete Hammond August 08, 2008 3:53pm EST
    Elegy is intelligent, brilliantly written and richly erotic--a motion picture that aims high and succeeds as first-rate adult entertainment.
  • Studio Report Card: Paramount is No. 1, but Who Will Finish 2nd?
    By: Steve Mason July 02, 2008 7:30am EST
    July 1 marks the halfway point of the movie year, and there is a clear winner among the major Hollywood studios. With the top 3 grossing movies of 2008, Paramount is riding high with both Marvel’s Iron Man and Lucasfilm’s Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull topping $300M and DreamWorks’ Kung Fu Panda at $181M now and a cinch for $200M+. The Melrose gang will be the first studio in history with back-to-back-to-back $200M+ grossing movies.
  • Untraceable Review
    By: Kit Bowen January 25, 2008 4:37am EST
    With a very creepy premise about a serial killer using the Internet to kill his victims, Untraceable mostly delivers the chills, despite its conventionalities.
  • 'Atonement' Leads Golden Globe Nominations
    By: WENN.com Source December 13, 2007 5:12am EST
    British film Atonement leads the nominations for the 2008 Golden Globe Awards with nods in seven categories.
  • Atonement Review
    By: Kit Bowen December 07, 2007 12:17pm EST
    Atonement follows the grand tradition of sweeping romantic period films, alternating between lush beauty and stark realism; it grabs your heart and doesn’t let go.
  • The Savages Review
    By: Brian Marder December 01, 2007 9:56am EST
    Much like the title family it depicts so well, The Savages is constantly at odds with itself--hilarious yet heartbreaking, warm yet frigid. The result is one final contradiction: a movie that is tough to swallow, yet one of the year’s best.
  • August Rush Review
    By: Brian Marder November 21, 2007 7:49am EST
    August Rush comes dangerously close to being too feel-good for its own good, but the dynamic trio of strong performances, magical imagery and nonstop music prevails.
  • Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married? Review
    By: Mark Burger October 12, 2007 6:45am EST
    The latest film from multi-hyphenate Tyler Perry is one of his more accessible to date. Why Did I Get Married? may not attract a new audience to the Perry fold, but it should certainly play well with the pre-existing one, which has made him the successful entrepreneur he is today.
