I expected more from Harrison's film because, apparently, he is still a box office draw. I attend a lot of sneak previews (I am going to see Shutter Island, tonight. These are typically oversold. The biggest crowd I have seen this year was for the Ford picture. My date and I arrived an hour

I disagree with Paris being a summer movie. If it was a summer movie, it would have played in the summer. It was dumped in February for a reason - a good reason as it turns out. Case in point, The Book of Eli with its religious theme, should have been a Christmas movie. But it would have

I saw Extraordinary Measures (big sneak preview crowd) but Mel looks old and small and the brutal story just pummels you. Add to that a disturbing strain of misogyny - two young women (including the one playing Mel's daughter) are taken out with extreme prejudice. Further, Measures feels dated

Well, it's based on a BBC series that's about as old as China Syndrome. Which made it sort of hard for me to watch. There are so many great old BBC shows to remake, why that one? Just seemed like a bad idea that will probably explain itself in somebody's book one day. Unless Universal

I disagree. We're talking Lionsgate here - they hit a homerun with Tyler Perry ( who is his own marketing engine) but they keep stumbling around with stuff like Crank and Spy Next Door. I don't think they've found their stride in action movies yet. But WOW are you ever right about

The reaction to the trailer for the Harrison Ford movie spoke volumes. It played to dead silence. Edge of Darkness was marketed like Taken 2 but from what I've heard it wasn't a pleasant viewing experience. The old formula picture doesn't seem to work at the box office unless they throw some
