It worked as a longing baseball fan. It worked as a quirky golfer. Will Kevin Costner’s sports charm work as a crafty general manager in charge of the Cleveland Browns’ strategy in “Draft Day” is the question of the weekend. Costner gets help from Jennifer Gardner as his salary specialist in front of the hunting…
The ninth installment of the Marvel Comics series comes charging into theaters this weekend. “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” features our hero teaming with Black Widow to battle Russian villain Winter Soldier. In the streets of our nation’s capital, they fight for the right … to have a 10th installment in the future. And freedom.…
I know, the subject of Noah, the ark and all that water is not very funny. All it takes to get very serious about the Biblical tale all over again is to see the trailer featuring Russell Crowe as the ark-builder. Tense! And yet, as I ponder the epic cinematography to come in “Noah,” I…
The novel of Vernonica Roth will be brought to the big screen this weekend with the tense “Divergent.” Teens will fight for their lives and the good of all in this futuristic Chicago. The makers expect success; there’s already plans for two more films. The trailer shows a lesson for sticking up for what makes…
Can a movie trailer get you car sick? I felt somewhat on the verge watching the cut-cut-cut to the chases in the preview for the racy “Need for Speed.” But I did feel assured by the fact that never have a had to race myself for the big bucket at a theater, not even during…
When I was a kid, you couldn’t pull me away from the cartoon spectacular that was “Rocky and His Friends.” In one good chunk of time, I’d get the title squirrel, a moose by the name of Bullwinkle, and a smart dog and silly kid. That last pairing would be Peabody and Sherman. The Dreamworks…
A couple of scenes from the trailer for “Pompeii” jumped off my iPad screen. I thought he gladiator stadium in the ancient city of Rome looked pretty darn spectacular. In all, the action peppered throughout by Kit Harington was very dramatic. And, the film is offered in 3D. Still, though, I perhaps am more drawn…
The mere mention of the titles of this weekend’s roster of opening movies brings to mind hand-holding between the popcorn-munching. Coming to a theater near you are “Endless Love,” “About Last Night” and “Winter’s Tale.” Romantic drama, romantic comedy, romantic fantasy (no, not that kind of fantasy.) Oh, yeah, throw in the futuristic action of…
Art will imitate life on the silver screens this weekend. George Clooney’s historic project “The Monuments Men” opens. It tells the tale of the good soldiers tasked with saving so many treasures of the art world from the grasp of the Nazi regime, so they won’t be destroyed. There was a book about it first.…
Love can bloom in strange places. Hollywood tries to prove that again and again with the two major film openings this weekend. “Labor Day” pairs Josh Brolin and Kate Winslet as a mystery man and reclusive mom who just may end up joining together to conquer both of their dilemmas, if the trailer is a…
