7 Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps — Love Does Cost a Thing
If Oliver Stone's iconic 1987 film, Wall Street, is about rising to the top of the financial world, then Money Never Sleeps is the sequel that shows the flip side: what happens when all that money and power is taken away? Gordon Gekko, the villain (or hero, depending on how you look at it) of Wall Street, is back, having just completed eight years of hard jail time and looking at a very Read more
Ryan Gosling is fairly selective about his movie roles, so it's always a treat to get a taste of the Oscar nominee when he's got a new film on tap. His latest, All Good Things, doesn't have a release date just yet, but today brings the first peek at the film with the international trailer. Based on a true story, Gosling stars as David Marks, a man from a very wealthy upbringing whose family Read more

I've been watching out for director Richard Kelly's (Donnie Darko) movie The Box for a long time now, and I'm excited to say that while the premise sounds odd/silly, I think this could turn out to be a great film. Cameron Diaz and James Marsden play married couple Norma and Arthur Lewis who have a pretty storybook life but eventually run into money troubles. Cue very creepy music and Frank Read more
Doubt and Frost/Nixon have a lot in common: Both are stage-to-screen adaptations, both are receiving a lot of awards buzz, and neither has a particularly compelling visual story to tell. Instead, the drama lies in the words people are saying. I've heard both of these movies referred to as "grown-up" cinema, which is probably apt given that it takes a pretty mature attention span to fully Read more
President-elect Barack Obama has topped Barbara Walters's list of the Most Fascinating People of 2008. The ABC special aired last night, and last year the honor of Most Fascinating Person went to Harry Potter author JK Rowling. While many people probably agree that Obama is the most fascinating figure of the year, it's somewhat surprising that his opponent John McCain did not make the list. The Read more
"There's a reason they called him Tricky Dick." The international trailer for the new Ron Howard movie, Frost/Nixon, has arrived and from what I can tell it looks pretty amazing. Based on the well-received play of the same title by Peter Morgan (the same man who wrote the script for The Queen), the movie chronicles the true story of a series of televised interviews Nixon gave to British Read more
