Poster Peek: ‘Furry Vengeance’

Trailer Talk: ‘Middle Men’ (Red Band Version)

Trailer Talk: ‘Stolen’
— by RACHEL COYNE — Jon Hamm can do drama. Jon Hamm can do comedy. Jon Hamm can do sexy as hell with one hand tied behind his back. But can Jon Hamm do mystery/thriller? In “Stolen,” Hamm is Tom, a father whose son has been missing for eight years. In his quest to find […][...]

‘Greenberg’: Behind the Scenes and a Poster Peek
— by JASON EAKEN — I could tell very early into the trailer for “Greenberg” that I didn’t want to see it. Later, when the trailer told me it was made by Noah Baumbach, I knew I didn’t want to see it, for aside from the brilliant “The Squid and the[...]
