I think everyone should see at least one independent film a year. It's a great way to experience something different, and you get to wear a beret. Who knows? Maybe you'll wind up seeing your favorite film of the year.
Bret McKenzie has come a very long way -- after proving he was worth his elf salt in "Lord of the Rings," he went onto become one half of the most pop...
Horror movie fans have come to terms with the fact that, save for the odd Insidious, Hollywood is only interested in remaking, rebooting and re-imagin...
With so many talented people involved in this production, I feel somewhat of an ingrate to inject my own humble critique into the conversation, but the flaws seem obvious, especially to a storyteller in another medium.
The plot of this movie is so preposterous that Movieline's Alison Willmore and myself thought an obsessive chat was definitely in order. (Spoiler alerts, obviously.)
While a lot has changed since Julie Delpy's 2007 romcom "Two Days in Paris" -- new city, new (sniff) boyfriend -- Delpy is continuing her brand of Fre...

Perhaps the reason that Denzel Washington has maintained his star power for 20 years is that he still goes out of his way to make 'the kind of movies they just don't make anymore'.
This afternoon, Sony previewed new footage from the you're-anticipating-it-more-than-you-think-you-are reboot of the Spider-Man franchise, "The Amazing Spider-Man." The event was simulcast in four cities -- New York, Los Angeles, London and Rio de Janiero -- but only the post-Super Bowl crowd in the Big Apple was treated to an in-person visit by star Andrew Garfield.
When "Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace" first premiered on May 19, 1999, it had been 16 years since the last new Star Wars movie. So, yes, there was a lot of anticipation and speculation. That's a stark contrast to this week, which finds "The Phantom Menace" being re-released in 3D to a collective shrug amongst even the most die hard "Star Wars" fans. That's a far cry from the lead up to its original release, which caused a very young Internet to explode with crazy rumors about the new film; rumors that were, for the most part, not true.

Today, as you're reading this, a new "found footage" film titled "Chronicle" is playing at your local theater. But there's something that makes "Chronicle" slightly more interesting than past entries in this genre: It's not a horror movie. "Chronicle" is the tale of three high school students -- Andrew, the shy loner; Matt, Andrew's slightly more outgoing cousin; and Steve, the popular star athlete -- who develop mysterious powers after an encounter with an unexplained, underground orb-like object. "Chronicle" is an interesting movie. So interesting, in fact, that Jordan Hoffman (from Next Movie, /Film and formerly UGO's movies editor) and myself decided that an Obsessive Chat was necessary. (Spoilers ahead, obviously.)
