‘Dark Knight Rises’ Director Christopher Nolan Speaks Out About The Tragedy In Colorado Posted: 20 Jul 2012 07:03 PM PDT People from around the world have gotten word about the tragedy that has transpired yesterday at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, where 12 people lost their lives and dozens were wounded after a gunman opened fire during a midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises. Many have sent their condolences to their families. Even our Presidential candidates put a stop to their campaigns as a sign of respect to those who passed. It's important to know that these killings have nothing to do with The Dark Knight Rises. And I don't want to go into the psychology of a man who could do such an evil act, but it's comforting to know that people are putting aside their differences and coming together to comfort those who lost their loved ones. Now director Dark Knight Rises director Christopher Nolan has responded to the mass murder in Colorado. This comes after the news that Warner Bros. would be cancelling the Paris Premiere of the film [...]

Movie Review: Mission To Lars Posted: 20 Jul 2012 04:00 PM PDT Mission To Lars Directed by James Moore & Will Spicer Starring Tom Spicer, Will Spicer, Kate Spicer Spicer Moore Films Released 6 June, 2012 (Limited UK & U.S.) Ground control To Major Tom Commencing countdown Engines on Metallica. One of the biggest metal bands on the planet. Surrounded by layers of PR, management, assistants, groupies and crew. Everyone one wants a slice of the four piece from 'Frisco. In the bedroom of his West Country home Tom Spicer proudly wears his Metallica t-shirts, collects their music and head-bangs along to it ("Enter Sandman" is his favourite), but Tom is not your average metal head. Tom has Fragile X syndrome, a condition described by his sister Kate Spicer as "autism with bells on." For the last twenty years Tom has made his dream clear to his family telling them regularly, "Wanna meet Lars, wanna meet Lars." Lars Ulrich is of course Metallica's drummer and Mission To Lars, directed by James Moore and Tom's younger brother Will Spicer, documents the Spicer siblings embarking on a road trip so that Tom can meet his hero.

Netflix Review: 11-11-11: The Prophecy Posted: 20 Jul 2012 01:00 PM PDT 11-11-11: The Prophecy Netflix Streaming DVD Directed by Darren Lynn Bousman Starring Timothy Gibbs, Michael Landes, Wendy Glenn Big Air Studios Originally Released: November 11, 2011 Since I was 23, the time stamp of "4:44" keeps coming up and recurring in my life. I have no idea whether this has any relevance or not, but it's something I've noticed frequently, and as a result I often get attracted to stories surrounding the concept of meanings behind significant numerological synchronicities. 11-11-11: The Prophecy is one such film, and surveys this concept in greater detail than many other stories have. Written and directed by Darren Lynn Bousman, best known for his contributions to the Saw series, 11-11-11 (not to be confused with the 'mockbuster' with the rip-off name of 11/11/11 -- the movie with the correct title uses dashes instead of slashes) explores in elaborate depth the nature of synchronicity, numerology, and its relation to imagery and prophecy.

Svetlana Khodchenkova May Be Viper In James Mangold’s ‘The Wolverine’ Posted: 20 Jul 2012 12:00 PM PDT Just a week after it was announced that Jessica Biel was in talks to play Viper in James Mangold's The Wolverine, it was announced that she was no longer in talks to play as the venomous character. That left another empty spot on the casting list, and with Mangold ready to start production, the search for a replacement began. But the search is now over again, because Svetlana Khodchenkova is in talks to play as Viper. According to sources, even though negotiations are being held it's expected that the deal will be completed very soon. [...]

Watch This: Full Length Trailer For Paul Thomas Anderson’s ‘The Master’ Posted: 20 Jul 2012 10:03 AM PDT The two previews for Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master were merely teasers that introduced us to the characters that Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman will play.

Movie Review: The Dark Knight Rises Posted: 20 Jul 2012 07:00 AM PDT The Dark Knight Rises Directed by Christopher Nolan Starring Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Anne Hathaway, Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Morgan Freeman Warner Bros. Pictures Rated PG-13 | 164 Minutes Release Date: July 20, 2012 In Christopher Nolan's 2006 film, The Prestige, Cutter (Michael Caine) explains, "Every great magic trick consists of three parts or acts." "The first part is called The Pledge. The magician shows you something ordinary: a deck of cards, a bird or a man. He shows you this object. Perhaps he asks you to inspect it to see if it is indeed real, unaltered, normal. But of course... it probably isn't." "The second act is called The Turn. The magician takes the ordinary something and makes it do something extraordinary. Now you're looking for the secret... but you won't find it, because of course you're not really looking. You don't really want to know. You want to be fooled. But you wouldn't clap yet. Because making something disappear isn't enough; you have to bring it back." "That's why every magic trick has a third act, the hardest part, the part we call The Prestige." Ladies and gentlemen, that's The Dark Knight Rises - the third act to an astounding magic trick by a world-class illusionist in director Christopher Nolan [...]
