Very likely I'm in the minority opinion on this subject, but I think it's high time that Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio stopped working together. From my perspective, it's been diminishing returns since The Aviator. Shutter Island left me cold. Seven seasons in and Curb Your Enthusiasm has last none of its cruel charm for me. This most recent season was the best since the year the entire show was a meta-gloss for The Producers. I'll say it: I enjoy John Travolta when he plays a bad-ass. I know it goes against his occasionally, er, fey personality but the guy is just dynamite when he's beating people up. Thank God, Caddyshack is finally on blu-ray. Here's why. They should have bitten the bullet and hired Dirk Benedict for the new A-Team movie. more ›

As if the original wasn't cynical and revolting enough, Sex and the City 2 has amped up the conspicuous consumption to levels sure to arouse Islamo-fascist anger. In this latest installment, the aging drag queens are off to the Middle East to spread their sense of entitlement to the naive and pathetic native population. Since Michael Bay isn't releasing a film until next year, I think it's safe to say that Sex and the City 2: More Special Effects than Transformers 2 will challenge Furry Vengeance for the title of worst film of the summer. more ›

Who would have ever thought that overlaying a Mormon template over standard teen angst fare and vampire mythology would have proven to be as successful as the Twilight series has been? And more importantly, where are the "porn" versions of this movie (e.g. Shaving Ryan's Privates). Bolt returns John Travolta to an unwelcome state of prominence and further bolsters the career of the rancid Miley Cyrus. Elegy was depressing as hell but damn if it wasn't a fine movie. Did anyone have a better two-fer last year than Penelope Cruz (Elegy and the fantastic Vicky Cristina Barcelona)? Maybe Ben Kingsley (Elegy and The Wackness)? more ›

I've said it over and over again but is a perfectly stupid title for a perfectly stupid film. Toupee alert! more ›

In a pathetic display of media-generated conformity, audiences rewarded the witless finished a distant third, as Jolie's hot, naked ass only managed to garner $20.6M ($90.7M) in its second frame. more ›

If you don't want to deal with the crowds that will invariably shuffle mindlessly into , but here he shines as a petty drug dealer pursuing the transcendent Olivia Thirlby. more ›

This is a difficult movie to market without a red-band trailer, due to the subject matter. more ›

LAist caught up with Ben Lyons from E! to tell us what Park City is really like during the Sundance Film Festival. From Charlize Theron to Diddy, Ben's time at the festival is jam packed with screenings, interviews, and parties. We asked him to fill us in on his favorite films, his obsession with "Beverly Hills 90210", and going bobsledding with Ivan Radcliff. more ›

We've been looking at billboards for BloodRayne all over the city without much enthusiasm for weeks now. (What is Ben Kingsley doing in this movie? We'd rather see him in Ghandi II: Electric Boogaloo). But when we stopped at a light on Fletcher near the LA River yesterday, we yelped with delight. The scary malevolent force behind BloodRayne is revealed! It's Bill Cosby! more ›
