Every tragedy begins with a spark of misplaced hope. In the case of Ain’t Them Bodies Saints, that spark flares between young, impoverished lovers Ruth Guthrie and Bob Muldoon. After a crime of desperation spirals into an all-out gun battle with local police, Bob ends up going to prison while Ruth gives birth to their child. When Bob escapes and begins a journey across Texas to reunite with his love, he can’t imagine the consequences of his actions. Ain’t Them Bodies Saints is the highest-profile directorial project of prolific film editor David Lowery (Upstream Color). The movie stars Casey Affleck (ParaNorman), Rooney Mara (Side Effects), Ben Foster (Contraband), and Keith Carradine (Cowboys & Aliens).

The theatrical release of Man of Steel – Warner Bros. and DC’s long-awaited Superman reboot – is only weeks away, and as such, pre-release marketing is coming at an increasingly rapid pace. Much has already been said about how DC may be pinning its hopes on building a shared movie universe (and eventually releasing a Justice League film) on the success of Superman’s big-screen return. In recent weeks, we’ve seen magazine cover stories, TV spots and the most action-packed trailer to date. Now, it seems, Man of Steel is upping the ante. On its YouTube channel, fast food chain Hardee’s has posted a commercial promoting Man of Steel as well as ...Click to continue reading ‘Man of Steel’: Superman Takes Flight in New Hardee’s TV Commercial

Mothra vs. Godzilla (1964) Director: Ishiro Honda Writer: Shin'ichi Sekizawa Cast: Akira Takarada, Yuriko Hoshi, Hiroshi Koizum MPAA Rating: N/A Synopsis: A giant moth is hatched from an enormous eggs just as Godzilla lays waste to Tokyo once again. Destroy and mayhem ensue. Review: I rescued this flick on DVD from a $5 dollar bin at an area Walmart, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. I've slowly started working my way through the Godzilla franchise in recent days, thanks in part the availability of a few titles on Netflix streaming. Out of all the flicks I've seen thus far, Mothra vs. Godzilla has to be one of my favorites. The English dub version is easily my favorite; the cheesy dialogue adds to the ridiculous nature of the story, making for an awesomely goofy experience that charms on nearly every level. Besides, it's hard to dislike a movie featuring tiny girls singing about giant eggs and moths. Seeing Godzilla wreck Tokyo is as always a blast, but the monster takes a back seat to the rest of the on-screen insanity. Strange songs, egg-centric choreographed dancing, and Mothra steal scenes at every turn. A fantastic way to spend five bucks? Definitely. Walmart, your bargain DVDs complete me.
