THE TREE OF LIFE Review
Most movies I see are designed to appeal to the broadest audience possible. They have to. Mainstream films are at the intersection of art and commerce and the best you can hope for on an intellectual level is that the star-studded, effects-laden blockbuster might have some interesting subtext or challenge you in some minor way. But most films keep subtext and challenges to a minimum because after a long week of work or school, the average audience member just wants to enjoy their movie. Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life is not for these audience members. It is slow, ponderous, obtuse, stranger, and bewitching,...
Another Major Villain May Be Starring in THE AVENGERS
This article is going to get deep into possible spoilers for Joss Whedon’s The Avengers. Since I know a lot of you are trying to steer clear from spoilers and very little about the film has been released, I’m going to include this news after the jump. There will be spoilers about a possible new villain as well as villains that have been mentioned previously, but you may not have seen that news. I’ll also be making mention of what happens after the credits in Thor, so again, steer clear if you want to stay in the dark. Sorry for the run-around, but we’re trying to be considerate of those who want to stay spoiler-free.Hit...
Confirmed: Orlando Bloom Will Reprise His Role as Legolas for THE HOBBIT

I’m excited to announce today that we’ll be revisiting Middle Earth with him once more. I’m thrilled to be working with Orlando again. Funny thing is, I look older—and he doesn’t! I guess that’s why he makes such a wonderful elf.Bloom is the latest Lord of the Rings cast member to join The Hobbit. ...
Sony Ditches David O. Russell’s UNCHARTED Script; New Details on His Departure
Yesterday, we reported that director David O. Russell had left Sony’s adaptation of their hit video game Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. No reason was given at the time but it looked like O. Russell was moving on to direct an adaptation of The Silver Linings Playbook instead. Today, 24 Frames has new details on O. Russell’s departure from the project. It appears that O. Russell’s script was so long, ambitious, and perhaps most damning (from Sony’s perspective), it added plenty of characters who weren’t in the video game. As we reported last year, O. Russell had apparently changed...

Famous Flashback: Christina Aguilera
Take a look at this "dirrty" girl! Back in 2001 Christina Aguilera had a whole lot going on -- like a wild mane with magenta extensions (to match her lipstick), rhinestone eye makeup, a whole lot of spray tan, and what looks to be a drawn-on mole. Wow.
The diva rocked this look for the MTV Video Music Awards a decade ago, where she won the Video of the Year prize for "Lady Marmalade." During her acceptance speech she said: "I guess the big hair paid off."
The hit song from the Moulin Rouge soundtrack also featuredLil' Kim, Mya, and Pink, and it soared on the charts. It became the most successful airplay-only...

Voldemort Poster for HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS – PART 2
We’ve seen Harry, Hermoine, Ron, and Neville posters for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2. Now it’s time for He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named/Tom Riddle/Voldemort. This is a good opportunity for me to mention that I think the franchise missed an opportunity to give Voldemort the red snake eyes that he has in the book. Perhaps they felt Ralph Fiennes couldn’t be expressive enough without human eyes, perhaps it was too expensive, or maybe it just looked goofy when put on screen. But I’ve always been curious to the what-if. But he’s still missing his nose so that’s good enough, I...
