    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: This somewhat simplistic cross between The Lord of the Rings and Pathfinder, seems at odds with the typical foreign lingo poster. It looks every bit the epic that could entice non-foreign fans. Trailer

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D+ Review: Thoroughly unimaginative, this poster is hardly anything to look at. A two-year-old fingerpainter (paints every medium with every type of “paint”) could have probably come up with this poster’s concept. Trailer Rating: C-

    Married people slept in separate beds and only the wicked had sex outside of marriage in old Hollywood, right? Wrong! There was plenty sex both inside and outside of marriage on screen before the Production Code came into full force in mid-1934, and good and bad people getting away with murder as well. Having hit

Visual style must be accompanied by substance and, although I’ve seen the trailer, I don’t see much of the

    Lots of people seem to have trouble with the ending of No Country for Old Men, this year’s Oscar winner for Best Picture, Director, Adapted Screenplay and Supporting Actor. I don’t get what they don’t get. The dreams that Tommy Lee Jones reveals to his wife, Tess Harper, at the end of the film may

    The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences doesn’t bestow many career achievement awards. When they do, they’re usually reserved for legendary stars like Fred Astaire, Cary Grant, Barbara Stanwyck, Myrna Loy, Deborah Kerr and Peter O’Toole or directors like Howard Hawks, King Vidor, Blake Edwards and Sidney Lumet who might otherwise not have an
