— by SEAN GERSKI — Although “The Beatnicks” has nothing to do with “The Boondock Saints” — other than sharing a lead actor in Norman Reedus — there is no doubt that our contest giving away a signed copy of “The Beatnicks” has attracted the [...]

Stars Make a Plea for Equality
— by SEAN GERSKI — This video will get its fame from the fact that Anna Paquin announces she is bisexual in it, but nonetheless, it’s still a great message — so the more viewers, the better. It’s Just Movies is a movie web site with nearly 20 writers, so I generally don[...]
Four Clips from ‘Paper Man’
— by SEAN GERSKI — For a movie starring Jeff Daniels, Lisa Kudrow, Ryan Reynolds and Emma Stone, “Paper Man” has decidedly flown under the radar. The movie debuted at the 2009 Los Angeles Film Festival and subsequently was picked up by MPI for North American distribution. The[...]

Exclusive Interview: Norman Reedus
— by SEAN GERSKI — Back in 1999, when “Boondock Saints” came and went (after appearing in a handful of theaters), the odds of ever seeing a sequel to the movie were incalculably low. And, as time went by, the odds grew even longer. But “Boondock Saints” is not[...]
Report: Chris Evans Offered Captain America
— by SEAN GERSKI — There was a period there for a few days where I was heavily invested in the casting of Captain America role. That time passed around the time of the 400th “exclusive” story listing those who were in the running for the role. I really don’t want to rep[...]
Under Review: ‘5…6…7…8’
— by SEAN GERSKI — There is just something about a good documentary that can’t quite be replicated in works of fiction. Even when the stakes don’t seem especially high, the fact that we are watching real lives unfold really ratchets up the tension. In Andy Milkis’[...]
Under Review: ‘Throws of Passion’
— by SEAN GERSKI — If you review a mockumentary, you are duty-bound to mention Christopher Guest. I’m pretty sure it’s a law of reviewing. Guest’s mockumentary classics (such as “Best in Show” and “Waiting for Guffman”) are the gold standards by [...]
Under Review: ‘One in the Gun’
— by SEAN GERSKI — “One in the Gun,” by writer/director Rolfe Kanefsky, has some of the most captivating camera work I have seen in quite some time. The work is inventive, but never showy. The camera angles don’t distract from the story, but rather give you a different [...]
