The Weinstein Company announced that they will begin production on CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON II - THE GREEN DESTINY in March 2014 , just about 15 years after the original Ang Lee film. The big difference this time will be that Lee is not returning to direct. According to Deadline , fight choreographer Yuen Wo Ping will direct. Ping has choreographed everything from THE MATRIX...
Welcome to The Best Movie You NEVER Saw, a column dedicated to examining films that have flown under the radar or gained traction throughout the years, earning them a place as a cult classic or underrated gem that was either before it’s time or has aged like a fine wine.
This week we’ll be examining THE WAY OF THE GUN, writer-director Christopher McQuarrie ’s violent crime pic starring...
Despite already producing a god awful big screen DUNGEONS & DRAGONS movie back in 2000, Warner Bros. has set up a new movie based on the role-playing game. But, there is now a lawsuit out there from Hasbro saying that the movie studio no longer owns the rights to make a sequel.

I love AMERICAN PSYCHO. Christian Bale 's insane performance cemented him as one of my favorite actors and the scene where he explains Huey Lewis and the News to a drunk Jared Leto is cheesy perfection.

I am a huge fan of THE EXORCIST. I love all of the stories surrounding how it was filmed and the urban legends about the production being cursed. I used to live in the Washington, DC area and visited the fabled staircase many times. It is a powerful movie that holds up very well today. Every Halloween I try to watch it at least once because there are few horror movies that are as good...
