Pixar S Brave What Did You Think

Pixar’s ‘Brave’ - What Did You Think? By Russ Fischer/June 22, 2012 5:00 pm EST Brave is Pixar’s first overt fairy tale, and the studio’s first film with a female protagonist. Those points, combined with the fairly public development process that saw the title change from The Bear and the Bow, and original director Brenda Chapman replaced with Mark Andrews, has positioned Pixar’s thirteenth film as a film of interest for many....

Sony Classics Will Distribute Woody Allen S Nero Fiddled

Sony Classics Will Distribute Woody Allen’s ‘Nero Fiddled’ By Russ Fischer/Dec. 22, 2011 10:00 am EST Briefly: 2011 was a great year for Woody Allen. His playful, entertaining film Midnight in Paris turned into the year’s runaway arthouse hit, taking in $60m to become Allen’s greatest domestic success. Sony Classics has distributed the director’s last few films and after their stellar success with Midnight in Paris, I think it has been pretty much a foregone conclusion that his next movie, Nero Fiddled, would go out via the company as well....

Vin Diesel Says Seventh Fast And The Furious Being Written Alongside Sixth

Vin Diesel Says Seventh ‘Fast And The Furious’ Being Written Alongside Sixth By Russ Fischer/Dec. 20, 2011 6:00 pm EST With Fast Five, Universal started the process of extending the Fast and the Furious franchise beyond movies that are oriented around car-based setpieces and into the realm of action-adventure crime films. The fifth film also featured a gigantic cast, and the idea of locking down all the participants for a few months every two years might not seem like the most feasible idea, no matter what contracts have been signed....

Sinister Red Band Trailer An Excellent Unsettling Attack Of Sight And Sound

‘Sinister’ Red-Band Trailer: An Excellent, Unsettling Attack Of Sight And Sound By Russ Fischer/Sept. 18, 2012 6:14 pm EST It’s strange to have a very recognizable actor in a found-footage movie, because the whole “realism” concept of found footage relies upon our ability to relate to the normalcy that is eventually shattered by whatever weird entities beset the characters. But I’ve been hearing great things about Sinister, which stars Ethan Hawke as a guy whose discovery of old reels of film in his house leads to some horrible encounters....
