This Week at the Movies: Iron Man "Iron Man"-Robert Downey Jr. stars as a cocky and wealthy industrialist Tony Stark who builds and armored suit to escape a kidnapping in the middle east and becomes a superhero to fight evil!  MORE This Week at the Movies: Baby Mama "Baby Mama"--Tina Fey plays Kate Holbrook a successful VP at a organic food grocery store chain who finds out at age 37 that she can't have children and hires a surrogate named Angie played by Amy Poehler to carry the child. Fey and Poehler obviously have chemistry from the SNL days and it pays off here in a pretty decent PG-13 rated comedy. MORE This Week at the Movies: 88 Minutes Al Pacino plays a Seattle forensic psychiatrist who has 88 minutes to solve his own murder. Too bad the movie didn't last only that long. This is an early frontrunner for one of the worst of 2008. MORE This Week at the Movies: Meet Bill "Meet Bill"--actor Aaron Eckhart stopped by for a visit this week to talk about the movie that was originally called just "Bill" and was filmed in St. Louis two summers ago. You can listen to that interview *here*. You'll notice we don't talk much about the movie because I really didn't have the heart to tell him that the film is a total disaster. I'm pretty sure he knows. MORE This Week at the Movies: 21 and Stop Loss "21"--based on the book "Bringing Down the House" it's the story of a group of brilliant M.I.T students who developed a card counting scheme and ended up taking casinos in Las Vegas for millions. MORE Mark's Oscar Picks This is an interesting year since there are several categories which can go a couple of different ways. Here are my picks of who should win and will win. This Week at the Movies: Untraceable & Michael Clayton is Re-Released "Fresh off Oscar nominations for Best Picture, Best Actor (Clooney) and Best Director Warner Brothers is re-releasing "Michael Clayton" in hopes of cashing in a little and to make sure more people have seen this outstanding movie. This was # 3 on my top 10 of 2007. MORE Mark Reardon: Peter Bogdanovich One of the most interesting films I’ve seen in the past few months---and this includes all the awards frontrunners and Oscar nominees---is Peter Bogdanovich’s documentary on Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers called “Runnin’ Down A Dream”. It’s probably best suited for true fans of Petty, but even for people who just want to hear the back story of a great American band it’s definitely worth a look. The Oscar Nominations Have Been Announced! Here's the complete list of Oscar nominees. If you cross check the best picture nominees with my top ten for 2007 you'll notice that the only best picture nominee out of my top five was "Atonement" and that was number six on my list!   Please make plans to join me at The Pageant on Oscar night for another Oscar Night America. This Week at the Movies: The Bucket List "The Bucket List"--Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman play two terminally ill cancer patients who put together a list of things to do in life before they kick the bucket---get it---The Bucket List. MORE Critic's Choice Award Winners Here are the winners in 13th Annual Critics' Choice Awards from the Broadcast Film Critics! Mark's Top 10 of 2007 What made Mark's Top 10 list? MORE This Week At The Movies: Walk Hard "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story--A satirical send up of "Walk the Line" and "Ray" with John C. Reilly as Dewey Cox who tragically slices his brother in half with a machete when he's about 6 years old and goes on to become a musical legend! It's from Judd Apatow the guy who brought us "Knocked Up" and "SuperBad." MORE This Week at the Movies: I Am Legend "I am Legend"--Will Smith battles zombies in a desolate New York City in one of the few action offering this holiday seasons. Smith is Dr. Robert Neville, a military scientist who is somehow immune to an unstoppable virus that has left him as the last human survivor in what's left of NYC. This Week at the Movies: The Golden Compass "The Golden Compass"--based on a Philip Pullman's trilogy "His Dark Materials" this is the first chapter in what New Line is hoping will become the next "Lord of the Rings". Good luck with that. This Week at the Movies: Joe Strummer "Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten"--Julien Temple's documentary about punk rock legend Joe Strummer and his band "The Clash". It features narration from the late Strummer himself along with dozens of others who were influenced in someway by the music. You'll recognize Bono, Johnny Depp, Matt Dillon, Steve Buscemi, and others. MORE This Week at the Movies: Enchanted "Enchanted"--What starts as a classic Disney fairy tale turns into a trip to New York City for a Princess named Giselle played by Amy Adams. This Week at the Movies: "No Country For Old Men"--I think we all see movies for different reasons, and I'm all for sitting in a movie theater and getting away from it all and being entertained. But for those film fans who look for a little more to chew on this isa great time of year with the awards season just around the corner. MORE This Week at the Movies: Lions for Lambs & Fred Claus "Fred Claus"--who would thought that a Christmas comedy from the guy who made "The Wedding Crashers" and starring Vince Vaughn and Paul Giamatti would be so unfunny---but it is.  More importantly it's being marketed as a family movie and I would recommend leaving the kids at home. This Week at the Movies: Bee Movie & American Gangster “Bee Movie”—It’s this small little independent movie hardly marketed at all-----well, not exactly. Jerry Seinfeld is the voice of Barry Benson, a honeybee who after graduating from college decides to venture out of the hive for some excitement before settling down into the job of having one job for the rest of his life. MORE This Week at the Movies: Reservation Road "Reservation Road"--a real downer of a movie starring Mark Ruffalo as a down on his luck attorney in a small northeastern town who makes a bad decision after a hit and run accident. Joaquin Phoenix plays the father who becomes obsessed with solving the question of who killed his son when the police don't seem to be getting very far. MORE This Week at the Movies: Gone Baby Gone "Gone Baby Gone"--Ben Affleck goes behind the camera to direct and write the screenplay based on Dennis Lehane's (Mystic River) novel. He also keeps it in the family casting his younger brother Casey as Patrick Kenzie, a Boston area private investigator who gets dragged into the mysterious disappearance of a little girl. MORE This Week At The Movies: Michael Clayton "Michael Clayton"--George Clooney stars in screenwriter Tony Gilroy's directorial debut as a "fixer" at big corporate law firm in New York City. MORE This Week at the Movies: "The Heartbreak Kid"--Ben Stiller stars in a remake of the 1972 classic with Charles Grodin and Cybill Shephard. Stiller plays Eddie Cantrow a San Francisco sporting good store owner frustrated that he can't find true love. A chance encounter with a woman on the street changes all that quickly and he marries Lila (Malin Ackerman) after only a six week relationship. MORE This Week at the Movies: The Kingdom "The Kingdom”—The opening sequence of the movie might have been better suited to a film that more seriously tackles U.S. foreign policy in the middle east. It’s a great montage of the history of Saudi Arabia which sets upthe story of a terrorist attack that happens at a US facility. MORE This Week at the Movies: In The Valley of Elah "In the Valley of Elah"--Probably the movie with the most pre-Oscar buzz going right now, but I'm going to be honest---much of it is due to the anti-war politics in this movie from writer/director Paul Haggis (Crash). Tommy Lee Jones starsas a father trying to get to the bottom of the disappearance of his son who he's told is AWOL upon returning from a tour of duty in Iraq. MORE This Week at the Movies: The Brave One "The Brave One" is a revenge thriller starring Jodie Foster as Erica Bain, a public radio host in New York City who is brutally beaten one night while walking the dog with her fiance David played by Naveen Andrews--best known for his role as Sayid on "Lost". MORE   This Week at the Movies: Balls of Fury This week at the movies---"Balls of Fury". Well, what can I say about this one. It's about a former childhood ping-pong phenom who is forced back into the game to avenge his father's death. MORE This Week At The Movies: 3:10 to Yuma This week at the movies- "3:10 to Yuma" is a remake a of the original Van Helflin Glen Ford classic based on an Elmore Leonard short story that he published in 1953. This Week at the Movies: Resurrecting the Champ “Resurrecting the Champ”—based on a true story of a newspaper reporter who saves a homeless man from getting beat up from a bunch of troublemakers, only to find out that he’s a former boxing champ who everyone thought was dead. MORE This Week at the Movies: Superbad   "Superbad"--Maybe it's just because I'm a 42 year old man with the maturity level of an 18 year old but this is flat out one of the funniest movies in the teen comedy genre to come out in a long time. Probably since "American Pie," Jonah Hill and Michael Cera play two high school buddies determined to get a little experience with girls before heading off to college.  MORE This Week at the Movies: Rush Hour 3 and Stardust "Rush Hour 3"--Just when you thought the onslaught of three-quels had ended this summer along come quite possibly the worst of the season. Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan return for another round as Detective James Carter and Chief Inspector Lee---this time they end up in Paris going after some bad guys in the Chinese Triad. MORE This Week At The Movies: The Bourne Ultimatum This week at the movies:   "The Bourne Ultimatum"--Just when you thought that this summer wasn't going a "threequel" worth seeing along comes Jason Bourne. Director Paul Greengrass who did the last Bourne movie and also mademy top ten list last year for the outstanding. MORE This Week At The Movies: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix The fifth Potter film in what we now know comes to a conclusion with the 7th and final book by J.K. Rowling has Harry and the gang growing up and maturing a little more than in the past films. It's been interesting to watch these kids literally growup before our eyes on screen and there's always been that fear that they would grow up too quickly. MORE Archive
