From the director of Twilight (insert eye roll here) Catherine Hardwicke brings us the Little Red Riding Hood story we all know but with a twist; the wolf is a werewolf. Somewhere in the deep folds and wrinkles of my brain I’ve seen a grown up werewolf version of Red that had Angela Landsbury in it, but for the sake of argument and this trailer park, I’ll act like showing werewolves with Little... 

He gained fame as one of the most ruthlessly calm serial killers to grace a movie screen. He has depicted several of the most notable world leaders on film, including two U.S. Presidents and Adolf Hitler. He’s been nominated for numerous awards and taken home quite a few statues. He’s even been knighted for his accomplishments in film. Yet even a master thespian like Anthony Hopkins can’t manage... 

It’s that time of year again, as we reach the end of the Awards Season with the 2010 Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences awards, aka the Oscars. While we leave most of the awards hoopla to the annual Oscar Waffle discussion on our forums, we’d be crazy not to highlight the Oscars on the main site. Here are the nominees, along with some commentary on the major categories. This year the key... 

It’s time to close out January, just in time for Oscar nominations to arrive and wreak havoc with the box office. See, once the nominations are announced, some of those movies with limited releases will finally come to theaters everywhere, feeding on the buzz of their Oscar accolades to compete with brand new movies. It’s not a fair system, but it’s the one we have, so we deal with it. The likely...

After the success of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, there are many people who think Christopher Nolan can do no wrong when it comes to Batman. The Dark Knight left fans desperate for more of Nolan’s take on Batman’s adventures and, much like between the first two movies, Nolan responded by breaking for another project (albeit a much more high-profile one this time; as much as I love The Prestige,... 

Okay, you caught me. I’m not Margaret. The poor girl is feeling under the weather so I’m filling in this week. No, no, that’s not good. I’m done lying for her. The truth is she’s been drinking again. She tried to go without but the delirium tremens set in so she binged and now she’s in no condition to write. Okay, maybe that’s not the truth, but it’s not like she reads anything on the... 

In case you missed it, the Golden Globe awards took place this weekend. You know, the awards that everyone tends to say “don’t count,” and that, “nobody takes them seriously”? Well, this year it looks like too many people took them far too seriously, as fallout continues to drift in from host Ricky Gervais’s barbs and jabs. Gervais, who returned after hosting the previous year as well,... 

I’m going to be honest with you from the start: the pickings are slim this week, folks. The highest profile release of the week is Takers, which looked pretty lame and includes Hayden Christensen in its cast (but did wind up on Stephen King’s top movies of the year list). Other then that, you’ve got some obscure Criterion releases, season one of Justified, and a whole lotta nothin’. Intentional... 

If the higher profile of last weekend shed any doubt on the doldrums of January, this weekend should put them out of mind. Expect to see some of the powerhouses that have been riding high in theaters continue to dominate, driven by post-Golden Globe and pre-Oscar buzz and no big competition from the few offerings of this week. No Strings Attached is the big release of the week, a romantic comedy with...
