1395 Views Visual artist Wonchan Lee, who identifies himself as a typomaniac, has taken the posters of most box office hits produced by the geniuses at Pixar and ran away with them, down a minimalist, amusing route.

21 Views What do you make of all the storybook retellings brewing in production these days? Some glossed-up Hollywood-ized fairy tales have already come out and have been panned for their insolence – I’m looking at you, Red Riding Hood! – while others, like next summer’s Snow White and the Huntsman, are still to grace our screens. And grace they shall, as most of [...]
579 Views Known to many TV-lovers and nostalgists as “that girl from Dawson’s Creek,” Michelle Williams has lost the baby fat since that breakthrough role and couldn’t gain it back, not even for her turn as Marilyn Monroe in the upcoming My Week with Marilyn that’s expected to blow casual moviegoers’ and critics’ minds alike come the 23rd of November.

16 Views Coming across a gazillion trailers on a daily basis, I can safely say this one preview, for an indie documentary – of all genres – is unique. It sweet-talks the viewer into exiting his or her immediate surroundings and entering a world of possibilities that’s cracking ajar in the space of just over 2 minutes. Coming to select theaters on the last [...]
433 Views I read somewhere that filmmakers – and audiences – go into making period flicks because those days still had taboos, and they serve as (then) believable antagonists to adventurous, even trail-blazing main characters. It’s mainly the reason behind my craving to see David Cronenberg’s latest outing, A Dangerous Method, which explores the relationship between Sigmund Freud (Viggo Mortensen) and Carl Jung (Michael [...]

The flick, which opens this month at Telluride [...]
