If only Bill Murray could have babysat us all. In the trailer for Theodore Melfi’s St. Vincent, Murray stars as a grouchy, down-on-his-luck gentleman who takes a job babysitting his neighbour’s son. Now, Melfi had us at “Murray stars,” but the additional promise of having him play opposite Melissa McCarthy, Chris O’Dowd and Naomi Watts is pretty […]

August 13, 2013 0 Comments
By Richard Haridy August 13, 2013 A Glimpse Inside The Mind Of Charles Swan III is an honest-to-goodness awful film. The kind of truly bad movie only genuinely talented people can pull off; where isolated lyrical images and wonderfully imaginative moments all coalesce into a dry, misguided muddle. Roman Coppola (son of Francis Ford, brother […]

Moonrise Kingdom – Starring Jared Gilman, Kara Hayward, and Bruce Willis. Directed by Wes Anderson. Rated PG. By Simon Miraudo. Moonrise Kingdom is Wes Anderson‘s most mannered and intricately manicured film to date; an impressive feat in the shadow of 2009’s painstakingly animated stop-motion feature Fantastic Mr. Fox. It’s easy to fixate on the delicate art […]

August 3, 2012 1 Comment
It seems Dan Aykroyd‘s ceaseless desire to make another Ghostbusters movie cannot be stopped by Bill Murray‘s constant nay-saying and unwillingness to appear in the thing. Speaking to Metro, Aykroyd categorically stated that Murray “won’t be involved” in the long gestating sequel. But the wheels of production keep on turning, with a new writer on board, and shooting tentatively scheduled […]

It’s been a while since we wrote about Ghostbusters 3. Our last piece was entitled ‘Ghostbusters 3 to begin production in May 2011‘, so you can probably guess why we’ve steered clear from it.
