Albert (Irvine) is the young son of a drunken farmer who promises his mother, Rose (Watson), that he will train and care for the horse his dad paid too much for at auction. The horse’s name is Joey, and he’s—of course—beautiful and smart. By the Read More...

The current Evil Dead remake project has hit a snag. Star Lily Collins has reportedly dropped out of the movie. The actress’ camp is citing scheduling conflicts as the main reason for her decision to let go of the project. This is a big blow to the remake of the Sam Raimi-directed horror classic. The remake also has Raimi behind it so it’s also a sought after project in Hollywood because of its pedigree. No one has been talking about what exactly the scheduling conflict really is. But Read More...

The film extended the Star Wars mythos by taking us into the beginning in which Darth Vader is a hopeful nine-year-old boy named Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi is a determined young Jedi knight. This first chapter follows Read More...

For a film that’s silent, The Artist is making a whole lot of noise in public and critics’ circles alike. I recently caught the much-acclaimed film and I can say that it’s real deal. And when I say real deal, the film that has a very good chance of winning Best Picture at the Oscars.
