Review: Ferrari

— by BEV QUESTAD — Just the name Ferrari immediately evokes observations about the car: fast, red and expensive. With a few red flags, the man behind this famous fine-tuned vehicle was known to be calculated, distant, and autocratic. “Ferrari” is based on the revealing yet stark stor[...]

Review: Loving Pablo

— by RON WILKINSON — With a cast including Javier Bardem, Penélope Cruz and Peter Sarsgaard, this movie could have been better. Bardem fits the part very well, at least the psychopathic part. Seeing him in the classic “No Country for Old Men” will prove that in spades. As it turns o[...]

Review: The Counselor

— by JAMES SHAW — Cormac McCarthy is a fantastic novelist, but based on “The Counselor,” he is a disaster as a screenwriter. This is disappointing because the film has a great cast and premise. But McCarthy’s strengths in writing his novels prove to be his weaknesses in pen[...]

Under Review: ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides’

— by SHERICE ANTOINETTE — Captain Jack Sparrow is back for one heck of a swashbuckling adventure in the latest Pirates of the Caribbean sequel, “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” which picks up where “At World’s End” left off — more or less.[...]

A TV Spot from ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides’

— by JESSICA MORALES — Mermaids, curses, treasures and pirates, oh my! That’s what this new ad for the fourth installment of the “Pirates of The Caribbean” is made of. Johnny Depp is back as Captain Jack Sparrow in “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides̶[...]

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

— by ADAM POYNTER — No films in the Disney catalog have garnered more revenue than the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise. Originally set to end as a trilogy, Disney couldn’t let go of this cash cow and shortly after the third film was released, it was announced that there would [...]

A Featurette from ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides’

— by JOSUE SANCHEZ — They say some people are born to play a particular role. They said it about Chris Reeve’s Clark Kent/Superman, and they said it about Al Pacino’s Michael Corleone, and, most recently, I have heard people say it about Robert Downey Jr.s’ Tony Stark/Iron Man. Agr[...]

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[...]

‘Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides’ Filming in Hawaii

— by ALEXA MILAN — If you thought you’d seen the last of Captain Jack Sparrow, think again. Though it may have seemed like “At World’s End” gave a fairly firm conclusion to the “Pirates of the Caribbean” series, Disney just couldn’t stay away fro[...]

Under Review: ‘Nine’

— by MARIUSZ ZUBROWSKI — “Nine” is like the “Big Mouth Billy Bass” advertised on late-night television; it sings, it dances and it works as a wall-ornament, but it also lacks emotion. And though Rob Marshall’s third film works as a sub-par musical, it is[...]

Five Clips from Rob Marshall’s ‘Nine’

— by ALEXA MILAN — Movie musicals can sometimes be a bit of a tough sell, unless they’ve got Zac Efron singing as he dashes down the basketball court or Meryl Streep dancing her way through Greece. But with “Chicago” director Rob Marshall at the helm and a cast full of[...]

Under Review: ‘Broken Embraces’

— by MARIUSZ ZUBROWSKI — We’ve all heard about drama going on during the filming of the latest Hollywood hit. Anything from slurs being thrown about to fists flying, but no cast experienced the drama that the fictional film’s “Girls and Suitcases” cannot match. Be[...]

Four New Clips from ‘Nine’

— by RACHEL COYNE — If you’re trying to promote a movie that doesn’t really have a clear-cut target audience and is likely to be overshadowed by more mainstream films, there’s really only one solution: Go on “Oprah.” Which is exactly what the cast of “Nine” did[...]

Six Scenes from ‘Broken Embraces’

— by RACHEL COYNE — Between “Broken Embraces” and “Nine” both being released this holiday season, Penélope Cruz seems to be gunning for another Oscar. I guess being a gorgeous, sexy, talented actress who is (possibly) engaged to Javier Bardem just isn’t enough for some[...]
