If you’re anything like us Dork Knights, and you’re patiently clawing at your thighs in anticipation of the upcoming Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol screening (you know, so you can see the Dark Knight Rises prologue in glorious IMAX)… Then you’ll like the above newly-released, Bane-themed one sheet. Holy. By the…
New Year’s Eve (Wide Release) The latest ex-star-vaganza centered around a holiday a la Valentine’s Day, New Year’s Eve features more big names than a Jerry Lewis telethon. Directed by Gary Marshall (the aforementioned Valentine’s Day, Pretty Woman, Runaway Bride), the film weaves together various stories of couples on NYE…
Big, soft, squishy: These words describe Jonah Hill’s heart as well as his body in The Sitter, the mixed-bag last record of its star’s physique before a radical slim-down. As the film opens, Hill’s layabout Noah, kicked out of college and living at home in the suburbs of New York…
Michael Fassbender bares it all (pun intended) in the new NC-17 rated Shame, a tale of a sex addict living in New York co-written and directed by frequent collaborator Steve McQueen (Hunger). For Fassbender, who’s on the fast track to movie stardom with leading man roles in Inglourious Basterds, X-Men:…
The trailer for the Farrelly Brothers’ Three Stooges debuted yesterday, which is less a trailer and more an embalming. It really is a fascinating piece of terribleness. You can watch the whole thing here, but I’d advise against it if you’re prone to migraines or murderous bouts of rage.But don’t…
Inspired by a 2008 New York Times Magazine article by Alex Kotlowitz, Steve James’ commanding documentary The Interrupters, about “violence interrupters” in Chicago who intervene in conflicts before they escalate into gunshots, unfolds as deeply reported journalism. Much like Hoop Dreams (1994), James’ in-depth examination of the athletic aspirations of…
Gay Video & Lesbian Movies – Logo: Fierce TVSorry for the delay this week, poodles. Got tied up while filming for ‘Real Freelancers of East Dallas.’ Premiering soon on My Fantasy Bravo! Anyway, this week’s episode of ‘A-List’ ratchets up the drama in anticipation of next week’s season finale. This…
Steve McQueen’s first two films both star Michael Fassbender, feature virtually interchangeable titles and are nearly as grueling to watch as they must have been to make. But where Shame might be nearly as excruciating as 2008’s Hunger, it’s a lot less exalted. In Hunger, Fassbender’s imprisoned Irish revolutionary Bobby…
Frustratingly opaque, Australian novelist-turned-filmmaker Julia Leigh’s debut feature opens with an unforgettable image: A young woman, earning some extra cash as a medical-research subject, patiently sits as a long tube is threaded down her esophagus. Sharp and precise as its tableau might be, though, Sleeping Beauty never burrows into the…

Tags: Gay Video & Lesbian Movies, Logo: Fierce TVScene 1: Straight-blond-girl-in-charge Ashley kicks off the episode by taking the (too?) lovable cowboy, Levi, on a boot-shopping expedition. But she ain’t just looking to score some pink Lucchese’s in this scene; she also wants an apology from Levi for lying to…
The Size of Texas with Clint Howard from Clint Howard Here’s a new brilliant one from Funny or Die, where writer / Director Scott Gairdner parodies Michael Bay’s Armaggedon (or any ridiculous asteroid movie)–specifically the scene where Billy Bob Thorton exclaims the asteroid about to pulverize Earth is “the size…
If you’re the kind of person who thought putting sweaters on dogs was weird only until you owned your first “baby,” then you can understand the power that a little furry face holds over even the most cynical human psyche. In fact, PBS’s Nova reported in its September 2010 “Dogs…

It’s a family friendly weekend at the theater for Thanksgiving weekend so round up the kiddos and the rest of your clan, because here’s what’s new at the movies…..
A Dangerous Method, the title of David Cronenberg’s new film, is something of an understatement. As cataclysmic as it is, this historically scrupulous science-fiction romance concerning the discovery of the unconscious mind might have been titled War of the Worlds or The Beast From 5000 Fathoms. Adapted by Christopher Hampton…
Martin Scorsese’s first foray into big-budget family filmmaking — as well as his inaugural effort in 3-D — Hugo is a personal statement disguised as a sellout. Based on Brian Selznick’s 2007 illustrated kids’ book The Invention of Hugo Cabret, Hugo centers on its title character, played by Asa Butterfield,…
Gay Video & Lesbian Movies – Logo: Fierce TVThe one bad thing about last week’s episode overflowing with crazy drama: It meant this week’s episode would bore us with too much post-drama analysis. So I’ll try to be shorter and bitchier than usual this week. We’ve all got places to…
Twilight Saga stars Jackson Rathbone, Ashley Green, Nikki Reed, and Charlie Bewley — along with Breaking Dawn – Part 1 soundtrack artist Christina Perri — were in Big D last week to walk the red carpet, sign autographs, answer questions from fans, and just generally make dreams come true for…

As life-or-death dramedy, The Descendants poses several important questions: Why has it taken Alexander Payne seven years to follow up on his critically beloved, box-office boffo, merlot-squelching Sideways? And what has blunted this gifted writer-director’s edge? Payne topped his debut feature, the provocatively obnoxious abortion comedy Citizen Ruth (1996), with…
