So, this one kind of came out of left field. A 1970's set crime drama with a bang-up cast, co-written by James Gray , and directed by the French boyfriend in Danny Boyle 's THE BEACH. Wicked. BLOOD TIES is a very compelling looking film, which may be trying too hard to be so, but I have to admire the effort. Starring Clive Owen , Billy Crudup , Mila Kunis , Marion...

Marton Csokas to take on Denzel Washington in Antoine Fuqua's The Equalizer

The last time I saw Marton Csokas was 2011s THE DEBT. The last thing you might have seen him in was ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER unless you saw PAWN. The only beef I have with him is 2005s AEON FLUX. To be fair, that was a hell of a thing to adapt to the big screen and while the animated series is one of my favorites it just was not destined for life beyond MTV'S LIQUID...

New pics from Sofia Coppola's The Bling Ring show lots of pretty, young lawbreakers

Sofia Coppola is an interesting filmmaker and I wish I could say that it's because of her that I want to see THE BLING RING. However, she's just an added bonus, like "...and, it's directed by Sofia Coppola !" But, the real draw is the pretty, young creatures that inhabit it, namely Emma Watson , Taissa Farmiga, Claire Julien , and Katie Chang , who seem to...

Exclusive 1:1 Interview With The Iceman Star Winona Ryder!

I know I�m not alone when I say that in my teenage years I formed a massive crush on the pixie like Winona Ryder . There was something so utterly charming about her work in such films at HEATHERS, BEETLEJUICE and EDWARD SCISSORHANDS that she was simply impossible to resist. I�m happy to say that we are seeing a return for this solid actress thanks to films like BLACK SWAN and her recent...
