During the press event for the new Greek Gods action film IMMORTALS (opening November 11, 2011) at WonderCon 2011 in San Francisco, Luke Evans answered questions about him vying for the new lead in the continuation of the BOURNE franchise in THE BOURNE LEGACY from co-writer/director Tony Gilroy. “It is a big deal – it is a fantastic role,” Evans says. “You have one actor [Matt Damon]  that portrayed the character three times successfully. I love the BOURNE films, but I would not be Jason Bourne in the film [the series is going to continue with another character]. I did […]Read On »

CRIMINAL MINDS, now in its sixth season, is the CBS procedural drama/thriller in which a team of FBI profilers pursue serial killers throughout the United States.

Sometimes more of a good thing is just great, which is the case with the Coen Brothers’ (Ethan & Joel) remake of TRUE GRIT. The 1969 original, based on Charles Portis’ novel, won an Oscar for John Wayne as Rooster Cogburn, a one-eyed, alcoholic U.S. marshal who reluctantly takes up the quest of tracking down the man who murdered the father of fourteen-year-old Mattie Ross (Kim Darby in that version) – with Mattie doggedly accompanying him.

With gorgeous locations in London, Paris, San Francisco and Hawaii (this last standing in for Indonesia) and the agreeable company of Matt Damon as a tamped-down, but not hopeless man who is trying to change his life, HEREAFTER is quite pleasant. However, one gets the feeling that director Clint Eastwood and writer Peter Morgan (of THE QUEEN and FROST/NIXON fame) had something a bit more affecting in mind, and the movie seldom connects on a fully emotional level. Indeed, it actually generates more intellectual curiosity about the story’s claims of scientific proof of some sort of shared afterlife.
