How much do you know about French existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, his play "No Exit" and his ideas of free will? Well, you may want to bone up a bit if you want to have a leg up on your friends before going into Richard Kelly's The Box. This is hardly an accessible film, but it can become increasingly available if you have done a bit of homework in advance. Read More

Some bad movies you slag off gleefully. Their awfulness inspires you to reach high for insults as witty as the film is terrible. Others provoke a certain disappointment at their failure, a kind of mourning at the difference between the film's ambition and its execution. Richard Kelly's The Box is such a film. Read More

The Box is not an easy film to talk about. Almost every description of the film will end up as a spoiler, it's fairly high concept, and it has a few glaring problems. However, The Box also presents huge moral dilemmas and is a genuine candidate for "cult-classic" status. I'm not sure exactly how I feel about it, perhaps some amalgamation of confused and captivated. Yes, The Box confustivated me. Read More

How To Make A Million Dollar Easily (THE BOX Movie Trailer)
How to Make a Million Dollar in the easiest way possible?
Well simply push a button. Oh and, one last thing, when you click that button, someone in the world that you do not know dies. This is the premise of the new movie "THE BOX" starring Cameron Diaz, Frank Langella, James Marsden, Gillian Jacobs, Michele Durrett and directed by Richard Kelly (also directed Donnie Darko).
I find this concept amusing as I recently was posed the same question. Would I press a button to get a million dollar if that meant that someone in the world I don't know would die?
Of course, I said no....for a million dollars. I know how this can sound horrible to some people but I am not pushing a button for just a million dollar. If I am going to be a horrible person, let's talk about 100 million and we are in business. A million won't let me do anything of significance. 100 million can allow me to change lives.

What would you do? Would you press the button for a million? Or even a 100 million?

Check out the trailer for MY SISTER'S KEEPER starring Cameron Diaz, Alec Baldwin, Abigail Breslin, Thomas Dekker, Joan Cusack, Jason Patric, Sofia Vassilieva, and directed by Nick Cassavetes.
When a trailer brings tears to your eyes, you know it's good. And that's exactly what happened with this trailer. Definitely something worth seeing in my book. And even more since this is the director of "The Notebook."
