Ray Winstone Replaces De Niro in 'Edge of Darkness' 2008-09-17 09:35:00 About a week ago, word spread that Robert De Niro had walked off the set of Martin Campbell's Edge of Darkness
. A spokesman for De Niro explained it to us like idiots: "Sometimes things don't work out; it's called creative differences." De Niro would have co-starred with Mel Gibson as an agent tasked with cleaning up evidence of a murder Gibson's homicide detective is trying to investigate.It seem Read more:Winstone

Beat is taking a late-September vacation to Middle Earth -- but it will be back next month and those of you suffering withdrawels can always check the archives.

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly 2008-09-09 14:06:00 Director Julian Schnabel and screenwriter Ronald Harwood have performed a small miracle in adapting for the screen Jean-Dominique Bauby's autobiography "The Diving
Bell and the Butterfly
." Not, of course, as much as the one it took for the former "Elle" editor to write the book when he was paralyzed from head to toe and could communicate only by blinking his left eye.But their film does justice to
Film Review: The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor 2008-09-09 14:00:00 You might not be able to kill a mummy but as "The Mummy
: Tomb of the DragonEmperor
" demonstrates, you can kill a franchise.The third entry in the series starring Brendan Fraser ups the ante in terms of special effects and action, but there's an undeniably tired air to the enterprise.Arriving seven years after the last installment, "The Mummy Returns" (assuming you don't count the "Scorpion King" Read more:Film Review
First Trailer for Sean Penn's 'Milk' 2008-09-04 07:46:00 To paraphrase an IM conversation I just had with a friend regarding the trailer for Gus van Sant's forthcoming biopic, Milk: he thought the trailer was "incredible", whereas I felt it painted openly gay elected official Harvey Milk in a bit too saintly a light, at least within those two-and-a-half minutes, much to his chagrin.I'm not saying that the real-life Milk wasn't a key figure in the fight Read more:First

Box Office 2008-09-04 07:41:00 Movie tickets were a tough sell for labor day weekend, as Babylon A.D and Traitor were the only two of last week's four new releases to finish in the top five. Disaster Movie took seventh place and College took fifteenth, allowing Tropic Thunder to hold the number one spot for a third week. Here's the top five:Tropic Thunder: $11.5 millionBabylon A.D.: $9.4 millionThe Dark Knight: $8.6 millionThe Read more:Box Office

and the Half BloodPrince
calender. I know, it's hard to get excited about anything associated with a movie we won't see until July, but a calender can help alleviate your pain by giving you a little dose of Harry Potter all through 2009. Right? Ok, maybe not. You have to hand it to Warner Br Read more:Calendar

400 Screens, 400 Blows - Disease of the Week Movie 2008-08-30 10:03:00 Isabel Coixet's Elegy (92 screens) is a "disease-of-the-week" movie. I hate "disease-of-the-week" movies, but I really liked Elegy. I also liked Coixet's previous film, My Life Without Me, which was also a "disease-of-the-week" movie. Sarah Polley's beautiful Away from Her from last year was another excellent example. This begs three questions: What is a "disease-of-the-week" movie? Why do I hate
Cinematical's Friday Night Double Feature: Buddy Cops 2008-08-30 09:55:00 Buddy films. They're an interesting breed of cinema. Instead of finding success in a niche, they appeal to the masses. With buddy flicks, you're served a variety of time periods, races, genres, laughs, and scenarios. If one doesn't appeal, the next is sure to come -- all tapping into the goodness of friendship and camaraderie.And snuggled nicely into that sector of cinema are the buddy cops. They' Read more:Friday

Check Out the New 'Max Payne' Posters 2008-08-23 10:22:00 It's funny how little things can make a big difference. When the first poster was released from the big-screen version of Max Payne
, I have to tell you; I was pretty underwhelmed. But my opinion of the design has improved now that I've gotten a gander at the two new posters for the flick (see larger versions of both in the gallery below). Although, I have to ask, who knew that Mr. Payne was such a Read more:Check

Latest James Bond Flick Bumped Back a Week 2008-08-23 10:06:00 In what appears to be part of a most thorough campaign to botch Entertainment Weekly's Fall Movie Preview, a recent press release wholly admits that the North American opening of the 22nd James
Bond film, Quantum of Solace, back from November 7th to the 14th marks an effort to capitalize on last week's sudden Harry Potter shift.Although the removal of the 007th from any coming marketing blitz sure
Third 'Transporter' Trailer Totally Teases 2008-08-23 10:01:00 "Rules Remain The Same, Except Some Changes."I recall first seeing that tagline attached to a billboard touting The Transporter
3 at Cannes last May (whether or not I actually saw the picture at JoBlo.com then, all that matters is they still have it now) and dismissed it as a clumsy phrase with something perhaps lost in the translation from the European investors into big, fat, shiny English.And y Read more:Trailer
Review: Mirrors 2008-08-19 14:38:00 When a film called Mirrors
opens with a man fleeing desperately from said objects, it doesn't bode all that well. When that individual soon falls victim to a grisly demise at the sight of them, well, there's something to be said for the fact that there is ultimately nothing to see in Mirrors that is worth grabbing something sharp over. Unfortunately, there is also nothing that you probably haven't
Another Poster for Vin Diesel's 'Babylon A.D.' 2008-08-19 14:33:00 I'll admit it; I have a soft spot for Vin Diesel. Feel free to laugh at me, but I can't help myself, it's something about that voice. So you might want to keep my personal bias in mind when I say that Babylon
A.D. really doesn't look all that bad. Silly? Yes, but entertaining none the less. Ropes of Silicon found the latest poster for the sci-fi flick from Gothika director Mathieu Kassovitz and if Read more:Poster

NYFF Nabs 'Changeling', 'Wrestler' and 'Che' 2008-08-19 14:26:00 Some people may consider the New York Film Festival a simple "Best Of" sort of event, but the fact that it compiles selections from earlier film fests and merely showcases them in a competition-free program is what I love about it. For those of us New Yorkers who can't always make it to the highlands of Utah and Colorado or the exotic seaside locales of Italy and Southern France, it's nice to know
Poll: Who Wants Angelina Jolie to Play Catwoman? 2008-08-19 14:22:00 It has begun.Not even two full weeks after The Dark Knight arrived in theaters, we officially have our first Batman 3 rumor! (Speaking of, we have to decide what to call Nolan's next Batman movie. Dark Knight 2? Batman 3? NolanMan 3? Lets get on that ...) But anyway, the rumor actually comes from another Catwoman: Julie Newmar. Speaking to the New York Daily News, Newmar says, "Angelina

Robert Downey Jr. Tunes Into Sherlock Holmes 2008-08-19 14:20:00 At this point it seems ridiculous to call any role a stretch for RobertDowney
, Jr., given that he's just pulled off a role in blackface. But the gifted actor himself seems to be wondering what he'll be able to do as Sherlock Holmes
in Guy Ritchie's adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle's classic stories. At a junket for Tropic Thunder, Downey Jr. told journalists "I feel like Sherlock Holmes is out th
Film Review: Fly Me to the Moon 2008-08-19 14:16:00 Presenting an insect's-eye-view of the historic Apollo 11 space mission, "Fly Me to the Moon" is an awkward mix of proficient 3-D animation, detailed technical recreation and strained storytelling that stalls on takeoff.With his extensive background in 3-D production, director Ben Stassen delivers on the technology, but the flyweight narrative and characterizations are awfully flat, despite a voic Read more:Film Review
Debunking the Myths Surrounding the Harry Potter Date Change 2008-08-19 14:10:00 When Warner Bros. announced last Thursday that HarryPotter
and the Half-Blood Prince had been pushed back from Nov. 21 to next July, hardcore fans immediately entered the five stages of nerd grief. So far we've worked our way through denial, anger, semi-literate Internet ranting, and conspiracy-theorizing. All that's left is acceptance, where we go ahead and watch the movie when it comes out next Read more:Debunking

Check Out This 'Monsters vs. Aliens' Trailer, While You Can 2008-08-19 14:08:00 It may be bootlegged -- and therefore a limited-time offering -- but from very early on, this trailer for next spring's 3-D animated bonanza Monsters vs. Aliens
had me sold and only worked its way up from there.I like that all of the human characters appear to be related to the Parr family, and that the monsters and aliens on display promise to look even cooler in three dimensions. I dig Stephen C Read more:Trailer
