    Terence Malick’s latest film, To the Wonder, played at the Venice and Toronto film festivals this year, and now we are finally getting a look at this first beautiful trailer. The film, as it seems to be with all Malick’s movies, looks stunning, thanks in large part to the great Emmanuel Lubezki’s cinematography. The early reviews have been divisive, which is also a commonality with Malick films. To the Wonder stars Ben Affleck, Javier Bardem, Rachel McAdams, and Olga Kurylenko, and opens in the US on April 12th.

    The Guilt Trip (**½)

    Seth Rogen and Barbara Streisand's chemistry manage to keep things pleasant...

    December 19, 2012

    guilt_tripI’m sure I’m hardly the only one who never expected to see Seth Rogen and Barbara Streisand share the silver screen, but that’s just what they do in ‘The Guilt Trip’, a harmless comedy that mostly works due to the chemistry of the pair. There’s not a whole lot to love here, but more often than not there’s something to smile at. The script by Dan Fogelman has the ingredients to be successful, and the team of Rogen and Streisand do their best, but the direction of Anne Fletcher bungles the tone. She really struggles with the transitions from comedy to drama, leading to a vague sense of dissatisfaction with the end product. I’m sure that it’s going to have a decent amount of fans now that it’s in theaters;  a bit earlier than original scheduled, but one will have to keep their expectations low. I was hoping for a bit more than what I got, but those eager to just watch Rogen or Streisand do their thing (with the former more toned down than usual) will likely enjoy.

    Monsters,_Inc_3D_1What better way to spend the holidays than curling up under the covers after a hard day of work and play, ready for a long nap only to then be woken up by a creaking sound, your closet door slowly opening and out emerges a vicious monster ready to steal your screams away! Wait, that actually sounds horrible, so instead I suggest you make the most of this merry season by getting your monster-fill at a screening of Disney•Pixar’s Monsters, Inc. 3D. Like Finding Nemo 3D just a few months back, I hadn’t immersed myself with this timeless Pixar adventure in over a decade. While Monsters, Inc. doesn’t age quite as well as the aforementioned film that traversed the deep blue sea and plundered America’s deep black wallets, you can’t argue against the manic bliss that Mike, Sully and Boo treat you with for an enthralling ninety minutes.
