When we heard that Ryan Reynolds teamed up with Spanish Director Rodrigo Cortes to make a film that takes place exclusively in a coffin for 90-minutes, we were terrified and intrigued. When it rocked Sundance and got a $3-Million Lionsgate distribution deal right after its premiere, we were sold! SO sit back, relax, and get freaked out by these clips from the film and see Ryan & Rodrigo the night of the Sundance premiere!

The Hughes Brothers may have delivered us a familiar “by the book” post-apocalyptic world, the story certainly took some unexpected turns to the point that The Book of Eli may just have a “Sixth Sense” need for a rewatch! Just keep your eye on Denzel in some of the clips in this review!

The Hughes Brothers have been away from the limelight since 2001’s From Hell with Johnny Depp, but their return features the huge combo of Denzel Washington and Gary Oldman in a post-apocalyptic western-inspired tale of biblical proportions.

When young filmmakers with $20 million dollars decide to take on the vampire AND the science fiction genres at the same time, you really shouldn’t expect much. Which is why Daybreakers blew us away. Well conceived, imaginative, original and above all well done, this kind of film would have cost millions more if Hollywood decided to do something similar, and probably wouldn’t have turned out to be nearly as enjoyable!

Were it not for the extenuating circumstances of Heath Ledger’s death mid-production and the just-in-time rescue by faces like Jude Law, Colin Farrell and Johnny Depp, Terry Gilliam’s gorgeous masterpiece of nonsensical visual splendour might not have been a must-see film… but since all that DID happen, we can’t help but recommend it, warts and all!

Guy Ritchie certainly did not let directing a period piece take away from his signature style and flair, because somehow he’s made a historical film feel relevant and modern to an audience today. With a magnificent cast, amazing characters and a story worthy of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle himself, Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock is a new incarnation that will make Downey at home in the ranks of Michael Caine, Chistopher Plummer and Peter O’Toole.

If you’re looking for a director who can completely erase stuffy, old British boredom, you don’t have to go any further than Guy Ritchie. And so giving him the reigns to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous Victorian detective seems like something of an inspired gamble. With Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law taking the roles of Holmes and Watson, and Canadian starlet Rachel McAdams playing a deliciously villainous love interest, the cast is as strong as the source material, but we’ll have to wait until Christmas to see what’s inside the packaging.

James Cameron definitely made the most of nearly 15 years and 300 Million dollars making Avatar, because it looks and feels completely unlike any movie ever. Maybe it’s the tasteful use of 3D technology, maybe the striking resemblance the CG characters have to their human actor equivalents, or maybe it was the fact that an entirely computer generated world actually felt REAL for the first time ever, but Avatar definitely knocked us both out… what about you?
