Movie Reviews By Captain D
After the silly but fun Independence Day and bloated climate warning epic wannabe The Day After Tomorrow, Robert Emerich is back trying to destroy the planet again. In 2012, he chooses, rather than spaced out aliens or freaky weather conditions, the effect of a gigantic solar flare on the earth's core.

Cameron Diaz took a walk around NYC in her simple and chic outfit yesterday, continuing her week in the city following Monday's Webby Awards. She's also doing lots of press ahead of the My Sister's Keeper release in two weeks, often addressing the film's themes of marriage and kids. While Cameron has yet to experience those things personally, playing a wife and mom wasn't that much of a stretch. She said, "I also don't know what it's like to be an 18th-century pickpocket [as in Gangs of New York], you know what I mean? Or to have a mother who killed herself as with In Her Shoes, and have to deal with that. But that's what us actors do."

Let's face it: Mark Feuerstein is the menschiest mensch who ever mensched. He is known mostly for his good-guy roles on Good Morning, Miami and The West Wing, and in movies like What Women Want and In Her Shoes. Next up he plays Hank Lawson, a noble surgeon, on USA Network's Royal Pains (its 75-minute premiere is Thursday at 10 pm/Et). After a rich patient dies on Hank's watch, he's blacklisted from the Manhattan medical community, but —irony alert! — after heading out to the Hamptons to forget his troubles, he ends up becoming a "concierge doctor," a private, discreet advisor to the area's wealthy. Feuerstein spoke to TVGuide.com about whether he has bad-guy fantasies, why his show isn't just about rich people and what makes costar Campbell Scott's German accent so damn hilarious.

It’s hard to pin down The Soloist, since it’s trying to be so many things at once: a panegyric on friendship, a based-on-real-life portrait of urban poverty and mental illness, a glossy prestige pic with a scrappy indie feel, and a swooning ode to music. Yet it feels like a puzzle with some significant pieces missing. It’s as though director Joe Wright (Atonement, Pride & Prejudice) and screenwriter Susannah Grant (Erin Brockovich, In Her Shoes) were aware that audiences might find Jamie Foxx’s twitchy performance as a Rain Man-esque babbling savant laughable, so they tried to ... »

"The Soloist" reviewby Eric Sloss, Writer Music is a tonic for many people in the world. It can bring joy and happiness to an otherwise gloomy existence. “The Soloist” effectively explores such a phenomenon in a true life story of a former musical prodigy. Robert Downey Jr. is Los Angeles Times columnist Steve Lopez who is a bit disillusioned with life in general and the decay of the city around him. After getting into a bike accident, Lopez goes for a walk possibly looking for his next story. He comes across homeless man Nathaniel Ayers (Jamie Foxx). Lopez is intrigued when Ayers tells him that he used to go to the Juilliard School. Lopez does some research and finds out that Ayers did indeed attend the prestigious school many years before. Lopez now knows what his next story will be. The problem he has is finding Ayers. He finally does »

Curtis Handson is currently in talks to helm "Gemini Man" for producer Jerry Bruckheimer. Disney film is penned by David Benioff and tells of an Nsa agent who makes an effort to retirew but turns out becoming a target. His assassin? A clone of his younger self. Hanson has credits including "The Hand that Rocks the Cradle," "Wonder Boys," "L.A. Confidential" "8 Mile," "In Her Shoes" and "Lucky You." Cast possibilities would be interesting indeed. Hanson's last project "Lucky You" was not well received, bringing in a paltry $2.7 million from 2,525 theatres on its debut weekend. The film eventually ended up with just $5.7 million domestically and an additional $2.6 million internationally. »

Wait, that's not fair, I have to mention Curtis Hanson's other more recent films: Wonder Boys, 8 Mile, In Her Shoes, and the atrocious Lucky You. Yes, he did also direct L.A. Confidential and Bad Influence and The River Wild, but that doesn't mean he's an amazing director. Anyway, Hanson's next project will be the action thriller Gemini Man that has been in development at Touchstone / Disney for a long time. The script, written by David Benioff (25th Hour, Troy, X-Men Origins: Wolverine), is about a a brilliant, aging assassin trying to leave the game whose employers dispatch a clone of his younger self to take him out. Gemini Man was originally pitched back in 1997 by Darren Lemke and was passed around to various writers, including Jonathan Hensleigh. This most recent draft, as we mentioned, was polished by Benioff. The good news is that Jerry Bruckheimer is producing, the »

Curtis Hanson, who won an Oscar for his L.A. Confidential screenplay, is in negotiations to direct Gemini Man, an action thriller that’s been stuck in the development pipeline for nearly a decade. Blockbuster king Jerry Bruheimer is producing for Touchstone Pictures. The flick follows a brilliant, aging assassin who trying to leave the game. He must fight his way out once his employers dispatch a clone of his younger self to take him out. David Benioff, who scripted the upcoming X-Men Origins: Wolverine, wrote the screenplay. According to the trades, the concept allows for some techno-wizardry whereby an older actor with a long career would be cast, and his younger likeness would be digitally grafted onto a stuntman's body. A similar trick was employed with Jet Li in The One, though not with the generational twist. Mike Stenson and Chad Oman will executive produce along with Angry Films' Don Murphy, »

Chicago – Writer Diablo Cody, the Oscar-winning scribe of “Juno,” Executive Producer Steven Spielberg, and the Oscar-nominated actress Toni Collette have joined forces for the impressive and intriguing “United States of Tara,” airing this Sunday, January 18th on Showtime.
“United States of Tara” displays the fingerprints of three primary creative forces - the snappy dialogue of Cody, the unbelievable range of Collette, and Showtime’s creative impetus to bring us people living outside the norm but hiding in plain sight. Nancy Botwin on “Weeds,” Dexter Morgan on “Dexter,” Hannah/Belle on “Secret Diary of a Call Girl,” and Tara Gregson on “United States of Tara” may look like you and me but they live distinctly abnormal lives.

What makes Tara Gregson’s (Toni Collette) life so unique is that she isn’t alone inside her own body. »
