‘The Thin Man’ Remake Has a Director, Still Needs a Nora
— by SEAN GERSKI — At this point, it’s completely to superfluous to complain about Hollywood rebooting and remaking movies. It’s going to happen and there’s not much we can do about it (even avoiding most of them doesn’t seem to do the trick). But with movies like[...]

Poster Peek: ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides’

Trailer Talk: ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides’
— by AMANDA KOEHLER — I have a confession to make … one I hope you movie fans won’t hold too much against me. I slept through the majority of “Pirates of the Caribbean 2” and “3.” I saw “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl̶[...]
