How do I start this review? How do I write the rest of it? The subject is Silver Linings Playbook, but not the movie. This review is about the DVD, and DVD reviews can only go so far. I’ve never been interested in going on and on about how good the video quality or audio clarity is, because after all, 99% of people don’t give a damn, especially when the movie is a drama-comedy.

What makes a son like his father? Is a son doomed to make his father’s mistakes? These questions are explored in the sweeping yet personal epic from director Derek Cianfrance The Place Beyond the Pines, which reunites him with his Blue Valentine star Ryan Gosling. At times captivating, at other times longwinded, The Place Beyond the Pines is the first good drama of the year. Unfortunately, it’s also far from perfect.

I had the opportunity to sit down with writer/director Derek Cianfrance, who has a new film coming out this Friday called The Place Beyond the Pines, which stars his Blue Valentine star Ryan Gosling as well as Bradley Cooper, Eva Mendes and Ray Liotta. While I only had a few minutes with him, I asked him about his motivations to make the film, what it’s like to work with Ryan Gosling and how both men are criminal masterminds at heart.

Bradley Cooper plays a mentally ill man who lives with his parents and Jennifer Lawrence a troubled widow in the deliciously entertaining Silver Linings Playbook, a drama-comedy that slowly and unexpectedly transforms into one of the sexiest and most romantic stories of the year.

The Words is a movie of many stories, of a story within a story within a story, of layers, each different from the next with varying degrees of quality, at times hypnotic, other times drawn out, well acted by some, horribly by others. It also has an ending so bad it’s worth calling out in the opening paragraph of this movie review.

The Hangover Part II is now available on DVD and Blu-ray! Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms), Alan (Zach Galifianakis) and Doug (Justin Bartha) travel to exotic Thailand for Stu’s wedding. With the memory of Doug’s nearly disastrous bachelor party in Las Vegas still fresh—Stu is taking no chances.
We all know how well that will work out. Enter now to win a free copy of the movie on Blu-ray!
To start off this movie review in the same way that countless others have, the wolfpack is back in The Hangover Part II! This go-around, Phil, Stu and Alan wake up in Bangkok, shaved, tattooed and missing Stu’s soon-to-be brother-in-law. The expected hijinks ensue – and by “expected” I mean exactly the same – but The Hangover Part II is still an entertaining, albeit not nearly as funny follow-up to the hit comedy.

Intelligence can be a Godsend. It can also be a pain in the ass, especially when you’re addicted to it. In Limitless, Bradley Cooper discovers a pill that makes him the smartest man on the planet – and gets him into loads of trouble.

The first movie poster for the highly anticipated sequel to The Hangover has arrived. The poster is pretty amusing and features Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis in a not-so-good state. Cooper looks half-dead; Helms has his Mike Tyson tattoo and, well, Galifianakis has a shaved head. Oh, and Justin Bartha has been replaced by a monkey.

Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro star in Limitless, a paranoia-fueled action thriller about an unsuccessful writer whose life is transformed by a top-secret “smart drug” that allows him to use 100% of his brain and become a perfect version of himself. His enhanced abilities soon attract shadowy forces that threaten his new life in this darkly comic and provocative film. The movie opens everywhere March 18, 2011 – and we’re giving away an awesome prize pack (DVDs, merchandise and more) to celebrate!
