LOVE HURTS Movie Review

Love Hurts will be released to theaters on November 13, 2009 (Limited). The movie stars Richard E. Grant, Carrie-Anne Moss, Johnny Pacar, Jenna Elfman, Janeane Garofalo, Camryn Manheim, Rita Rudner, Jeffrey Nordling and is directed by Barra Grant. If you are planning to go see the movie, here are a few reviews from around the web to help you make up your mind.

Hollywood Reporter
The protagonist of Barra Grant's "Love Hurts" is an absent-minded physician more or less stuck in the '80s, and the movie suffers from a similar problem: It's a romantic comedy that takes as its model TV sitcoms from bygone days. Read more

Variety
There's a perfectly likable, sitcomish romantic comedy buried somewhere deep inside Barra Grant's indie "Love Hurts," but it would have taken some very significant rewrites to unearth it. What's left on the surface is an ungainly, at times cringe-worthy succession of tame, telegraphed romantic mishaps, well-intentioned if unconvincing sentimentality, and some of the least authentic teenage dialogue this side of the "Friday the 13th" franchise.

DVD Talk
The karaoke scene. It's become an epidemic. I've seen an inordinate amount of comedies over the last few years employ a karaoke bar as a comedic device, typically involving a fuddy-duddy character finding screechy vocal salvation at the hand of a memorable '80's hit. If there's anything that immediately signals lazy screenwriting, it's staging slapstick at a karaoke bar. "Love Hurts" features such a scene. Actually, a few of them. However, it's the least of the offenses contained within this dreadful comedy, which runs through a checklist of clichés to make it to a contractually obligated 90-minute running time. It's a long 90 minutes. Read more.

Love Hurts Synopsis: Ben Bingham has slipped into a fossilized middle-age, unlike his vibrant wife Amanda. When she finally leaves him, Ben is at a loss. He drowns himself in gin and refuses to get out of his pajamas until his popular 17 year-old son Justin takes over. He changes Ben's "look" and pushes him out into the social scene. Before Ben knows what is happening, he is the most popular single man in town, pursued by his nurse, his trainer, and karaoke-singing twins. Things change when Justin falls in love for the first time and now finds his father's lifestyle incredibly superficial. Ben is forced to refocus, recapture his humanity, his heart, and most importantly his wife... who is now with another man

THE FANTASTIC MR FOX Movie Review

The Fantastic Mr. Fox will be released to theaters on November 13, 2009. The movie is voiced by George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Bill Murray, Michael Gambon, Owen Wilson, Helen McCrory, Willem Dafoe, Jason Schwartzman, Adrien Brody, Wes Anderson, Brian Cox, Roman Coppola and directed by Wes Anderson. If you are planning to go see the movie, here are a few reviews from around the web to help you make up your mind.

Huffington Post
Perhaps Fantastic Mr. Fox will be the film that convinces adults that animation isn't just for kids.
Indeed, given the sensibility of writer-director Wes Anderson, Mr. Fox is barely a movie for kids, despite its Roald Dahl pedigree. Anderson's delicious take on life and movies may amuse youngsters -- but not as much as it will tickle adults, with its delightfully anthropomorphized forest creatures who can't quite escape their animal nature.

NJ.com
“Fantastic Mr. Fox” Movie Review -- With his snug corduroy suits, encyclopedic knowledge of British Invasion B-sides and polite obsession with the eccentric and dysfunctional rich, director Wes Anderson has been a whimsical presence in American film since his 1996 debut, “Bottle Rocket.”
His new, stop-motion “Fantastic Mr. Fox” helps give whimsy, and Anderson, back their good names.

Film School Rejects
Fantastic Mr. Fox marks the first time Wes Anderson, that connoisseur of whimsy, has worked with animation. If the switch required an adjustment it’s hard to tell. From the use of slow-motion to Alexandre Desplat’s jaunty soundtrack the world of this stop-motion adaptation of Roald Dahl’s children’s classic looks and feels a lot like the offbeat ones of The Darjeeling Limited, The Royal Tenenbaums and Rushmore. Read more.

The Fantastic Mr. Fox Synopsis: The stop-motion film, marking Anderson's first foray into animation, is an adaptation of Roald Dahl's classic children's story, centering on a clever fox who must outwit three mean, dimwitted farmers who try their hardest to hurt Mr. Fox and his family.

DARE Movie Review

Dare will be released to theaters on November 13, 2009 (limited). The movie stars Emmy Rossum, Zach Gilford, Ashley Springer, Ana Gasteyer, Alan Cumming, Sandra Bernhard, Rooney Mara and directed by Adam Salky. If you are planning to go see the movie, here are a few reviews from around the web to help you make up your mind.

CinemaBlend.com
Dare, for a movie about teenagers in their last semester of high school, is a deeper movie than you’d expect. The film, directed by Adam Salky, is broken up into three parts with each part focusing on one of three teens.

Variety
Essentially the anti-"High School Musical," "Dare" rejects the notion of senior year as a time when greeting-card emotions come true, portraying it instead as a randy petri dish for sexual experimentation. Focusing on three drama students who do a bit too much extracurricular bonding, this "Cruel Intentions"-style cesspool of teenage hanky-panky may be more scandalous than its chaste Disney counterpart...Read More.

The Los Angeles Independent
Dustin Hoffman’s mother/daughter fixation in “The Graduate,” Christian Slater’s avenging slayer in “Heathers,” and Alicia Silverstone’s quintessential Beverly Hills princess in “Clueless” — there have been some indelible cinematic examples of adolescent confusion.Read More

Dare Synopsis:Three very different teenagers discover that, even in the safe world of a suburban prep school, no one is who she or he appears to be.

Dare is in theaters now. Watch the trailer below.

KICK-ASS New Movie Poster

Check out this new poster for KICK-ASS starring Aaron Johnson, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Chloe Moretz, Nicolas Cage, Mark Strong, Clark Duke, and directed by Matthew Vaughn.

This new poster was just released by MySpace and I think I like this one even better than the other ones.

As any good superhero would, he chooses a new name -- Kick-Ass -- assembles a suit and mask to wear, and gets to work fighting crime. There's only one problem standing in his way: Kick-Ass has absolutely no superpowers.
His life is forever changed as he inspires a subculture of copy cats, is hunted by assorted violent and unpleasant characters, and meets up with a pair of crazed vigilantes, including an 11-year-old sword-wielding dynamo, Hit Girl (Chloë Moretz) and her father, Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage).
