Every year here at LonelyReviewer.com, we try to see how close we can get to predicting the Oscars. In years past, each of the bloggers have done their own list. This year, we decided we’d pick and feature one. Ben and I have always gone back and forth on whose picks are better, who gets …
There is a debate going on right now about which is better out of the two front runners for Best Picture this year: The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button or Slumdog Millionaire. It could be construed as a very tough debate, but one has to understand that they are both such strikingly different films that …
It’s a sad day today not just for film lovers, but for the world in general. Paul Newman has died at age 83. It’s usually big news when a movie star dies, for I somehow feel that this is much more than that. Paul Newman was not only one of the greatest actors of his …
What can I say…I’m a Coen Brothers fan. What a shock, right? It’s tough not to be though, even in this world of Big Lebowski drinking games and SNL sketches of No Country For Old Men, it’s can still be cool-without-being-cool to enjoy the Coen Brothers and their films. Needless to say, I have read …
It’s funny, because I got a lot of flack for writing up my 10 Worst Robert DeNiro movies essay in which I said basically in a nutshell that he hasn’t been good for over 10 years and that I feared his best days were long long gone. It’s like he doesn’t even try or care …
Well, here is some good news for all your pissy pants who got all offended by my Top 10 worst DeNiro movies. Looks like he has signed on for a leading role in the Mel Gibson comeback, Edge of Darkness. Bobby will play “an operative sent to clean up the evidence”, whatever that means. The …
Editors Note: There are some spoilers ahead, so reader beware! I generally enjoy playing the Devil’s advocate, but more so against the cynical fanboys. The new Indiana Jones is an example. People have been pissing and moaning about that movie for so long now, it’s just getting irritating. Me? Well I will go fanboy taboo …
Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Bastards has been wrung through the rumor machine over and over again. We all know the insanity of getting Schwarzenegger, Stallone and Willis to team up, NOT promoting Planet Hollywood, but blowing up Nazi tanks with bazookas. These three have been linked to this project since the dawn of time, but alas, …
Okay…I know this isn’t exactly earth-shattering, but it looks like the first pic of the newest Leo/Scorsese opus has been released. This pic shows our good ole’ DeNiro substitute Leonardo DiCaprio holding a shotgun behind a fence, looking for God knows who. The film is still being called Asheclliffe, which I really hope reverts back …
Well…I guess there is a short list of names that Peter Jackson and Guillermo Del Toro have for the replacement of Ian Holm as Bilbo Baggins in the upcoming Hobbit and Hobbit 2. I’ve heard some pretty awful names tossed around (Jack Black!!??) but I actually think they might have picked a winner here. It …
