As the game clock ticks down on 2008, each day another city’s film critics name their year-end-bests. The only two with any major intrigue are New York and Los Angeles, mostly because of the size of their media circles. However there are one or two dozen others – Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, and so on…
Hungry Like a Wolf (X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE Trailer)
One of my favorite things about this time of year is how audiences start getting trailers for next year’s big ticket movies and get appropriately geeked out. Right on cue, we have Hugh Jackman getting his Logan on once again in the upcoming X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE. Commence geeking out in 3…2…
Talk to Me

Did You Ever Have to make Up Your Mind (Critic’s Choice Award Nominations)

MILK and THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON lead the pack with eight…
