The Second Teaser Poster For ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Revealed

Posted: 10 Dec 2011 09:23 PM PST

TDKR Teaser 2 Header

Warner Brothers has released the second teaser poster for Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises via the movie's official site on Saturday.

In this poster, we see the likes of Tom Hardy's Bane walking away in the rain with his back turned towards the shattered remains of Batman's mask. The phrase at the top reads "The Legend Dies" in a haunting white font that seems to suggest that the story of The Bat has come to its conclusion, while the title of the film at the bottom suggests something entirely different -- something more along the lines of a fight to regain The Batman's heroic status [...]

Blu-ray Review: ‘Design For Living’ (Criterion Collection)

Posted: 10 Dec 2011 06:01 PM PST

Design For Living

Design For Living
DVD | Blu-ray
Directed by Ernst Lubitsch
Starring Gary Cooper, Frederic March, Miriam Hopkins
The Criterion Collection
Release date: December 6, 2011


Now this is what this writer calls a change of pace.

Just a month following the release of what may be the company's most important and dense release to date, The Three Colors Trilogy, the geniuses over at The Criterion Collection have come back with their sole new addition for the month of December, and it's about as far from the meditative triptych of masterful art cinema as a single uproarious comedy could be [...]

Book Review: Before I Go To Sleep

Before I Go To Sleep: A Novel

Before I Go to Sleep
Hardcover | Paperback | Kindle Edition
By S.J. Watson
Harper Collins
Release date: June 14, 2011


Before I Go to Sleep is the thrilling debut novel by S.J. Watson (watch the book trailer below). Here's a little back-story on how I found this gem in that vast pile of rubble known as the internet. A couple of months ago while perusing one of the countless advice-for-writers websites I've been known to haunt, I stumbled upon an ad in the sidebar for a book. Like most people who spend too much idle time online, I've trained myself to ignore most ad content that isn't flashing, twirling, or talking at me on autoplay. But this was a simple book ad with a picture of a book cover, a title, and an unfamiliar author's name. I've probably seen thousands of them. But something made me click on S.J. Watson's Before I Go to Sleep. An hour later, I'd read the synopsis and then a very generous excerpt of the book and had totally forgotten the website that linked me to this treasure or whatever writing advice I'd hoped to glean from it. I knew I had to buy this book and immediately added it to my ever-growing list of "must-reads." [...]

Neil Marshall To Helm ‘Hellfast’

Posted: 10 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST

Neil Marshall

Over the past few years, there have been plenty of great genre filmmakers, but none quite as intriguing (if hit and miss) as one Neil Marshall.

Be it his films like The Descent proving him as a great talent, or a film like Doomsday making fans a little less sure about that, he's always been one to watch. And now we know what his next piece will be.

Deadline is reporting that he'll helm a film entitled Hellfast for CBS Films. The movie follows a killer who kills those who attend an amusement park on Halloween night [...]

Netflix Review: Limitless

Posted: 10 Dec 2011 08:01 AM PST

Limitless

Limitless
Netflix Streaming
DVD | Blu-Ray
Directed by Neil Burger
Screenplay written by Leslie Dixon
Based on The Dark Fields by Alan Glynn
Starring Bradley Cooper, Robert De Niro, Abbie Cornish, Anna Friel, Johnny Whitworth
Rogue Pictures
Originally Released: March 18, 2011


Limitless is a science fiction wolf in a sheep's clothing of a thriller. At first glance, its twists and turns evoke a deep thriller feel, but its basis lies in the realm of sci-fi. Bradley Cooper plays Eddie Morra, a struggling author dealing with a frustrating inability to focus on his new novel, competing with an overwhelming urge for procrastination. But a chance meeting with an old acquaintance will revolutionize everything [...]
