Like most action films, “Salt” was originally written for a male actor. And, at one time, Tom Cruise was attached to or was talking about being attached to the role. Then he bailed, and it was rewritten for a female. If you stop right there, and think about how this could play out, your mind [...]

I don’t know if it was jetlag or what, but when I bought my ticket to see “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time” I actually believed that it had the potential to be good. Consider these points: It is directed by Mike Newell, the guy behind “Enchanted April” and “Into the West.” It stars [...]

The 1980s gave birth to several horror icons -  Jason Voorhes of “Friday the 13th,” Michael Myers of “Halloween,” and Freddy Krueger of “A Nightmare on Elm Street.” The first two already got the Hollywood reboot, in 2009 and 2007, respectively; Freddy hit the big screen again on April 30, and with great success. The [...]

When “Iron Man” opened on May 4, 2008, it grossed $102 million, which was just $32 million shy of its budget. By September, it had grossed $318 million. Success like this usually guarantees a sequel. And here it is: “Iron Man 2.”
In this outing, the world knows the identity of the armored hero: slick, narcissistic [...]

“The A-Team” comes out in theaters on June 11, however, if you can’t wait that long, you can always sprint to the nearest cinema and check out “The Losers.” It’s essentially the same concept only they have one more team member. The film, which is based on the comic by Andy Diggle, centers on five [...]

Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson) is your average high school student: He reads comic books, hangs out with his friends (Evan Peters and Clark Duke), and pines for Katie Deauxma (Lyndsy Fonseca), the pretty girl who ignores him. Like many other teenagers, he is an idealist, believing that we can, and should, make a difference in [...]

After more than a decade of marriage, Phil (Steve Carell) and Claire (Tina Fey) Foster have found themselves in a rut. They come home from their equally mundane jobs – he prepares taxes; she sells houses – exhausted, and yet still have to find the energy to take care of their daughters. Even their once-a-week [...]

If you’re familiar with Greek mythology, you probably know that the gods “got around” a lot, if you know what I mean. (Nudge, nudge; wink, wink.) And Zeus wasn’t an exception. Give the guy points for creativity, too: He seduced Danae as a shower of light. This union resulted in the birth of Perseus, who [...]

What do you get when you combine “Fatal Attraction” with “Damage,” and then give your film a Sapphic spin? “Chloe,” Atom Egoyan’s latest, which is – quelle surprise – a remake of a French “erotic drama,” titled “Nathalie.” (Does anything even make it onto the big screen these days that isn’t a remake?)

In the United States, more than 96,000 patients are waiting for an organ, tissue or eye transplant. Every 13 minutes, a new name is added to the national transplant waiting list, and every day, 17 people die, while waiting. But what if that didn’t have to be the case? What if, a company could provide [...]
