Previously, on Brandon’s Sundance Experience, I had not yet seen a single film at the fest. Now I’ve seen 22. And over the course of six days, I’ve slept maybe ten hours. Here in Park City, you see, sleep is a mirage. A myth. The stuff of legend. At this very moment, I’m forgoing sleep [...]

Ah yes, the always brilliant, always hilarious stoner comedy. So if you actually took that sentence seriously, then you probably won’t like this film. Personally I’m a fan of good stoner comedies and appreciate their dumbed-down but always entertaining humor, even if everyone involves a person (or people) getting stoned and being idiots. That’s what [...]

“In my father’s world, making a million was a ton,” Oliver Stone tells USA Today in a new feature on the film. “I come back to Wall Street now, and it’s not a million dollars. It’s a billion dollars. And a billion is nothing. They don’t even consider that the beginning of a hedge fund. [...]

But now [...]

In the same vein as thrillers like Open Water and another film here, Buried, Adam Green’s Frozen is a — for the most part — a one-location horror-thriller. Here’s the jist: three annoying, unlikeable college kids (Kevin Zegers, Shawn Ashmore, Emma Bell) get trapped on a ski lift without the hope of rescue ’cause they [...]

When I attend a film festival, I often gravitate towards the documentaries being screened rather than the narrative features. Of course, I see tons of narratives, but I do my best to keep a high ratio of docs on my schedule for the very reason that I already see tons of narrative stories during the [...]

Another new Sundance video review. It’s just vastly easier to record video reviews of some films, which is why we have so many of them. This time Alex talked with Peter from SlashFilm about New Zealand director Taika Waititi’s new film Boy. Both Peter and I were big fans of Taika’s Eagle vs Shark a [...]

“The world’s a racetrack as superstar Lightning McQueen zooms back into action to take on the globe’s fastest in Cars 2, a high-octane 3D comedy.” It may seem a bit early to be looking at some concept art for Pixar’s Cars 2, especially because it’s not due out in theaters until June 24th, 2011, but [...]

Hollywood has been going back to the well again and again with adaptations/remakes galore, however their focus has mostly been in film and books/graphic novels. But don’t think for one second that the industry has forgotten about video games passed as Bloody-Disgusting is reporting that Warner Bros is apparently keen on the idea of remaking [...]
