Hey gang, I’ve got a new
photo from the set of INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL for you today. This picture is especially intriguing, as it features Dr. Jones scaling a stack of crates which look to belong to that infamous warehouse from the end of RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, where “top men” cataog and stow history’s most important artifacts. What could Dr. Jones be searching for?
Fresh off its strong reviews at Sundance, Critics Rant would like to bring you a first look at Miramax’s latest smart-family-with-issues flick,
SMART PEOPLE. The film stars Dennis Quaid as an aging intellectual professor who suffers a stroke. Sarah Jessica Parker plays the nurse who takes a shine to the socially inept prof; Thomas Hayden Church is the prof’s adopted, slacker brother and Oscar-nominee Ellen Page plays the prof’s over-achiever daughter.
Harvey Weinstein recently
spoke up about how pleased he is with the RAMBO’s success at the
box office and his own desire to see further installments come to fruition down the line, hopefully one in which Rambo waged one man war on criminals running the streets of the USA.
Does this movie keep looking cooler and cooler or what? Did you check out the IRON MAN TV spot which debuted during last night’s Superbowl adtravaganza? The commercial features some previously unseen (and wickedly cool) sequences of Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) putting the pedal to the metal in the IRON MAN armor.
According to Wikipedia, the term “chick flick” refers to movies that are stereotypically made for women. You know, things like melodramas and saccharin romantic dramas. I’m here to share with you my favorites among the hundreds of feminine films. Even though I’m more guyish when it comes to movies—I like my fair share of explosions and space exploration—a good chick flick is always a necessity when you’re feeling like crap or you need a good night in with the girls.
