The Walk





Directed By: Robert Zemeckis

Starring: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ben Kingsley, Charlotte Le Bon, James Badge Dale, Ben Schwartz, and Steve Valentine

It's amazing how each movie season seems to have a theme or trend.  I said this a couple of weeks ago, but this fall movie season is all about adaptations.  It's being proven once again this weekend at the box office by the two big releases of the hour.  In one corner, we have Ridley Scott's The Martian, an adaptation of Andy Weir's 2011 novel ...

The Lone Ranger





Directed By: Gore Verbinski

Starring: Johnny Depp, Armie Hammer, Tom Wilkinson, William Fichtner, Barry Pepper, Ruth Wilson, James Badge Dale, and Helena Bonham Carter

Ten years ago this coming Tuesday, the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise was born.  Director Gore Verbinski and star Johnny Depp proved a winning combination and put swashbuckling action back in style at that time.  Now some ten years later, Verbinski and Depp are back together to see if they can recreate the fun ...

World War Z





Directed By: Marc Forster

Starring: Brad Pitt, Mireille Enos, James Badge Dale, Matthew Fox, and David Morse

I've rarely seen a film more plagued with production issues than World War Z.  There have been twenty million rewrites to the screenplay, an adaptation of the 2006 novel by Max Brooks.  The movie, which has been in the works for six years, had a really hard time getting financing.  To cap off this movie's woes, casting changes took place throughout filming.  With all of this, ...

The summer movie season is upon us!  As usual, superhero flicks will dominate this summer’s blockbusters.  Interestingly enough, we're seeing a changing of the guard this year.  With the end of Christopher Nolan's Batman Trilogy, the Man of Steel will be substituting for the Dark Knight.  For...

REVIEW: To Be Porn Or Not To Be Porn? That Is the Question For Shame

Shame





Directed By: Steve McQueen

Starring: Michael Fassbender, Carey Mulligan, Nicole Beharie, and James Badge Dale

I will never ever forget that I saw Steve McQueen's Shame on this night.  Given the well-deserved NC-17 rating for the film, there's a lot of material with which I can play here on Sobriety Test.  It's like Steve McQueen went into this film thinking about all the different ways and positions in which his star Michael Fassbender could have sex or jerk off.  When looking at the menu ...
