The Green LanternThe Green Lantern

 

More Blackest Night
than Brightest Day

Yo

Hal Jordan may be the greatest Green Lantern of all-time, but his debut movie falls far short of that mark. One of the worst things you can say about any super hero movie is "Well, at least it sets up the potential for a great sequel."

LOTR Extended Editions in Theaters June 2011The Lord of the Rings:
The Fellowship of the Ring 

 

Extended Edition
Back on the Big Screen

Mark Sommer

This was definitely the Jackson version of Tolkien's dream, but PJ is the only one who has been able to successfully take fans of Middle-earth there and back again on the big screen. The attention to detail is especially striking in a theater.

Bad TeacherBad Teacher

 

Charm and Beauty... Not!

Brock & DeArmond

Life is More Difficult Than Death

Darrel Manson

The Bill CollectorThe Bill Collector

Getting Lost, Getting Saved

Greg Wright

"As you know, this business is type-casting," says Bill Collector star Gary Moore. "And when you're a good fit for the part it's just so fun and easy. And I was just really Lorenzo. I was arrested at sixteen years old for being a pretty major drug dealer."
Film Festival Roundup

Darrel MansonLos Angeles Film Fest

The Obvious Place for a Film Festival

Darrel Manson

Los Angeles likes to style itself the Entertainment Capital of the World. To talk about the film industry you merely have to refer to Hollywood. But when you think of film festivals, you think of places like Cannes, Park City, Toronto, maybe even Austin.

Three to Get Things Started
Unraveled, How to Cheat, Tyrannosaur

Here we go. There was a somewhat scant schedule for the first Friday of the festival, but there are still some interesting films to talk about.

Virtual Living is Fake

Mike Smith

New on DVD. What can be bad about having virtual friends? Chat rooms are harmless and might even be good for us as a society. Right? Hmm. Not so fast.
