Best of Hollywood and Indy Movie Reviews from around the word. CLICK the links and read the reviews. 

Film Review: TROLLS (USA 2016) ***

The new Dreamworks animation released by 20th Century Fox, TROLLS is a happy enough 3D computer-animated musical buddy comedy film based on the dolls of the same name created by Dane Thomas Dam way back in 1959.

Film Review: DOCTOR STRANGE (USA 2016) ***

The Marvel superhero DOCTOR STRANGE gets his first debut on the big screen complete with 3D. Though the character has appeared in a TV movie and animated film before, he is given a fresh treatment which is a good thing considering that there are already too many super hero action movies each year.

HACKSAW RIDGE (USA/Australia 2016) ***** Top 10

After about a decade absence from the director’s chair (his last film was the misunderstood APOCALYPTO in 2006), the director of BRAVEHEART and THE PASSION…

I got my appraisal and it was possibly the best I have ever received, not because it was good or complimentary, but because they had obviously read it, and I mean completely and they properly criticized it! So their comments were not only ‘left of field’, but they were an accurate observation and they actually improved the script, not matter how hard they were to swallow. It was so worthwhile it was worth the price of entry just to get that feedback.

Featuring the best of movie interviews on a daily basis:

READ Today’s Interviews with Film Professionals:

Interview with Supervising Sound Editor Wylie Stateman (The Hateful Eight, Home Alone, JFK) – Wylie Statement is a gem. It’s a simple as that. This is truly one of my favorite interviews. In my subjective opinion, it’s a must read for anyone working in the industry today, and for those attempting to get into the industry. His answers were entertaining, educational, and there is a theme that ties it all together. See if you can figure it out. Hope you enjoy.

Interview with The Newton Brothers (Composers – Ouija: 2, The Runner) – What a great time I had chatting with the extremely talented Newton Brothers (Andrew Grush & Taylor Stewart). A composing team that has already “scored” an impressive resume. I talked with them while they were in the midst of promoting their composing work on the…

Tilda Swinton

Born: November 5, 1960 in London, England, UK

When people ask about how I approach a character – well, I wouldn’t know how to approach a character if I tried. People will ask about choosing a role; I don’t choose roles. People will talk to me about preparation. Aside from putting together a disguise, I’m not aware of any preparation at all.

[on not considering herself an actor] I don’t know what it would take for me to feel like one. I understand it’s a strange thing to say because I do keep saying, ‘Yes, I’ll dress up and be in your film.’ But when I hear proper actors talking about their lives and how they approach their work, I feel like I’m up another tree.

Famke Janssen

Born: November 5, 1964 in Amstelveen, Noord-Holland, Netherlands

[on her character’s change in X-Men 2 (2003) (aka X-Men United)] I love darkness. I am attracted to the dark side of life! I thought it was really interesting that Jean Grey went through some changes in this film.

Looking back, boy, has there ever been a stigma in being a Bond Girl. That’s what my mission in life is, just to prove them wrong. That’s why I have such an urge to keep going and proving that. It’s so silly. What on earth does the way you look have anything to do with whether you can act or not.

Sam Rockwell

Born: November 5, 1968 in Daly City, California, USA

[on what he would do if he wasn’t an actor]: I have no skills. There’s absolutely nothing I know how to do. So I’d be fucked otherwise. I’m very fortunate to be an actor. I know I’m very lucky to be doing this. And though I’m not sure where I’m going to end up — whether it’s in major films, independents, or theater work — I’m just happy getting to do roles that are really juicy, meaningful and allow me to keep adventuring the way I have been.

[on his part in The Green Mile (1999)]: I guess Wild Bill is a disgusting, racist, pedophile freak. But I’d been wanting to play a psycho, a juicy one. I saw him as Huck Finn meets Satan. The kind of part Gary Oldman or John Malkovich might play. It’s just a…

Madison McLaughlin

Born: November 5, 1995 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA

Madison’s television career began in 2007 when she landed the role of the tough and witty Annie Lisbon on the CBS hit series The Mentalist, opposite of Simon Baker, Robin Tunney, and Henry Thomas (E.T.). Her work on The Mentalist was quickly followed by her portrayal of the hard-as-nails Krissy Chambers on the CW hit series, “Supernatural,” working opposite of Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles. Madison went on to appear on other hit television shows such as “Mad Men,” “Teen Wolf,” “Modern Family,” “NCIS” and “Girl Meets World” before landing the role of one of the most anticipated characters of the Fall 2016 season: Artemis (DC Comics) on The CW’s hit series, Arrow.

Robert Patrick

Born: November 5, 1958 in Marietta, Georgia, USA

[on his preparations when he was cast as the T-1000] My intention was just to be a good adversary for Arnold to match. To match and be superior in character that you would believe that I could get the upper hand on him or else the whole movie wouldn’t work. I obviously had a great deal of faith in Jim Cameron and Stan Winston and everyone involved, so that was where my commitment was, to really pull this off. I didn’t want to let him down or let anybody down but I had hoped it would be this memorable, I had an inclination it would, but I don’t think I realized what an impact it would have, and how it would change my life.
