A Nutshell Review (Free subscription) | yesterday
Don't Hurt Me I suppose I'm just hungry for an engaging tale about corporate espionage, given an occupational interest in the subject, and most times the stories usually find an easy way out in their scenarios that it all seems a little far fetched, or implausibly weak in execution because sometimes simple and effective counter-measures exist in the real world that having to see it on screen means...

The News Releases/BREAKING NEWS Of The Day: Clooney and Heslov land at Sony - The crazy thing is that much of the media seems to have missed that Clooney (and Soderbergh), who produced via the now deceased Section Eight which was primarily responsible for the birth of the also deceased Warner Independent Pictures, has been out of Warners for a while already. Since Michael Clayton, Clooney has not...

OK, so it hasn't been the best week in Steven Soderbergh 's life (*cough* Moneyball ), but it's turning around thanks to the endlessly entertaining trailer for the director's The Informant . When word first broke about a Soderbergh movie starring Matt Damon as an insider who brings down a major corporation, I thought it was a serious drama, a la Clooney's Michael Clayton . Clooney's also a producer...

Nikki Finke is reporting an interesting bit of news: George Clooney and Grant Heslov are ending their production partnership with Warner Bros. and heading across town to set up shop with Sony. Coming just a week after Sony famously shitcanned Steven Soderbergh's Moneyball, this is a surprising move. At Warner Bros. Clooney was able to make the less commercial movies he's favored over the last few years,...

Cadillac Williams is recovering from his second torn patellar tendon in as many seasons but unlike last year, when he tore the patellar tendon in his left knee, the tendon did not rupture. Instead, it tore away from the bone, making the prognosis for a full recovery much shorter. There’s a chance Williams might be cleared to practice sometime in the preseason, but most likely he will begin the...

There's a widespread sense that the Academy's strange, unanticipated decision to expand the number of Best Picture nominees to ten this year is a response to the lackluster slate of five they submitted last year. As the folks at Movieline optimistically note , if there had been ten nominees last year, the list would almost certainly have included Wall-E and The D ark Knight (which they, and I, would...

Since I'm resigned to the fact that everything is going to be remade sooner or later, the best I can hope for is that at least studios will hire people who know what they're doing. On that note, there's a ray of hope for MGM's Red Dawn remake because Latino Review reports that Tony Gilroy ( Michael Clayton ) has been hired to do a rewrite. I've got nothing against the project's original scribe, Carl...
