Gold — or, Mr. Wells Goes to Wall Street. Stephen Gaghan’s gussied-up treatment of a true story about a struggling salesman (Matthew McConaughey, fat, bald, and snaggletoothed) and a rogue prospector (Edgar Ramirez at his most mysterious) and their mad quest to find gold in the jungle is, like its …
Judging by the trailer, Hong Kong is just as capable of producing a dreadful comedy as America.
Here's the official plot synopsis: "The gang encounters with some spiritual bodies and finds out the truth about the Jamnadas Orphanage where they were brought up." Sounds like a Hindi variation on the Bowery Boys.
Alan Milne (a battened down Domhnall Gleeson) was a happy, witty West End playwright, until the bombardments and horror of World War I ruined his peace and drove him into the country, there to work on a book about peace. His son Christopher (Will Tilston) was a happy, clever dramatist …
Clara (Isabél Zuaa) could be the only nanny with no references ever to ace a job interview, but then again, how many prospective employees are called upon to care for a pregnant and unwed somnambulist (Marjorie Estiano) who, during a midnight stroll, wrings a blood cocktail out of a live …

Star Robert Pattinson can act, and he’s not hard to look at. But to …
A fan asks if she’ll do another movie, a question to which the arresting Grace Jones replies, “My own.” As an actress, Jones is best not remembered for her appearance in A View to A Kill, far and away the least exciting of the pre-Daniel Craig 007 undertakings. The bloodlight …

Director Zhang Yimou enlists the friendly All-American face of Matt Damon to entice multiplex audiences to embrace subtitles, the glories of Chinese civilization, and the coming wave of Chinese cinema.

DJ Pooh (The Wash) back in the director's chair for this 420 approved comedy starring DeRay Davis, Snoop Dogg as Himself, Malcolm McDowell as Dr. Doobie, George Wallace, and Charlamagne Tha God as Black Jesus.
More dick talk than most Marvel movies: “If what’s between my legs had a hand…,” references to engorged nether regions, “Yes, I do have a penis, and it’s a pretty good one,” etc. But what are you gonna do? We can’t all grow from our own cuttings like cute Baby …
