Kevin Costner interview: Jack Ryan, and missing out on Superman

Its safe to say hes recruited more people thanJack Ryanduring his career. Theres a management that goes with these assets that you place around the world. Jack starts off as a person that doesnt have a gun in his hand. Hes got the classic leading man build but he doesnt start off that way. So mentor isnt the right word, necessarily. Its not like Im telling him how I do things....

The James Clayton Column: Can the Coens make me love cats?

Hes a lost soul with some hair going on. Llewyn Davis (played by Oscar Isaac) has something that Fink lacks and that is a pet. Said pet is a cat and said cats name is Ulysses.

Oh, and Justin Timberlake with a beard and a sweater. Misery loves knitwear and facial hair and J....

Music in Film: Inside Llewyn Davis and 12 Years a Slave

It can be used to express authority or portray identity. The very act of playing music defines us, as both performers or listeners. Its not a happy song. Its also a clear statement from Llewyn: hes not afraid of sadness. Oscar Isaac is perfectly morose as the withering soloist, whose partner, Mike Timlin, recently killed himself. He plucks sorrow out of the air as fluidly as he does his guitar strings....

Interrupted by the man himself, the pair hide behind a curtain to see him receive a visitor. She shoots him dead and leaves. Before Holmes and Watson flee the house, Holmes burns the remainder of Milvertons blackmail materials....

The depressing Gravity backlash

Gravity was a massive hit, both at the box office and with critics. And thus, the backlash has begun… As is par for the course with a big successful film though, the backlash has also begun. That its become a kicking horse of sorts. To be fair, some werent impressed withGravityfrom the off. Its hard to quarrel with that: if someone doesnt like something, they dont like it.
