I was kinda surprised that Hardy could be this good. What I’ve seen of him in movies he hasn’t impressed me much, and in som interviews he’s come across as a bit of an asshole. Cool little movie,...

This was actually one of my favorites this year. Hardy, of course, is fantastic, but I like the whole dynamic between the three brothers. There’s a lot of interesting flavor to the setting and the...

Vern, compadre, we must be on the same wavelength; I watched this last night for the first time. I’m more or less in line with you; it’s a pretty enough piece of entertainment that gets the details of...

I thought The Beef did a fine job in this one. He’s really good at acting like he’s getting the shit beat out of him. Also, it had a shovel-to-the-head scene. Not as good as the one in PSYCHO II, but...

I do like a good moonshinin’ picture. Like MOONRUNNERS, the inspiration for DUKES OF HAZZARD, or THUNDER & LIGHTNING with David Carradine, which was part of the same five-picture deal with Roger...

Plus, they got Ralph Stanley to sing Captain Beefheart and Lou Reed songs for the movie. Good work, filmatists!

I’m sorry to say that Shia LaBeouf is really coming off as a “trying too hard” guy these days, it’s more than a little sad

Yeah, he’s definitely reaching lately. But can you blame him? He doesn’t seem like an idiot. He knows that he got ridiculously famous for doing not one single thing of any substance whatsoever. He’s...

I agree that LaBeuf’s reach far exceeds his grasp, but at least he’s trying for something. His character is kind of unflattering in this movie, which is a smart move. I like the fact that he’s gone...

Megan Ellison and Alpurna Pictures have been a huge benefit to cinema. God bless her. (I think she might have backed Kathryn Bigelow’s ZERO DARK THIRTY too.) However, as Tom Shone said, she really...

Somebody screwed the pooch when they cast this one. How hard would it have been to hand off the role of Jack Bondurant to Dane DeHaan (the antagonist kid from Chronicle, who has a small role here as...

Larry — actually I read that Pearce wanted to play the character that way, and Hillcoat/Cave changed him from a redneck local (which he was in real life and in the original script) to a prissy city boy...

This is the first time I’ve heard of Jessica Chastain, so could you explain why she’s MVP 2011-2012?

SDAL: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1567113/ She’s been busy woman of late, and certainly diverse.

“This is the first time I’ve heard of Jessica Chastain, so could you explain why she’s MVP 2011-2012?” because she showed her boobs in this movie, which in case you haven’t noticed, has become pretty...

Empire magazine had a piece on this and regarding the title, Nick Cave explained that at first they wanted to call it “The Wettest County” but there was some concern that it might be made fun of as it...

SDAL – I hadn’t heard of her either but then all the sudden she was great in that iffy movie THE HELP, and was in TREE OF LIFE, and TAKE SHELTER, and CORIALANUS, and this, and starring in the new...

It’s not a nice thing to say, but the sound of Jessica Chastain’s name annoys me for any reason. It sounds like the name of a fictional Shakespeare actress in a bad sitcom. If she and Benedict...
