Lionsgate has picked up Oliver Stone’s new automatically-controversially film W. The studio plans to release the movie on October 17th. That’s right. A movie that doesn’t even have one of its featured characters cast is going to be in theaters in 161 days.

Well now this is interesting, isn’t it. As you can see above, the upcoming issue of Entertainment Weekly features a first look at actor Josh Brolin in full makeup as George W. Bush.

Few directors are more political in their movies than Oliver Stone, but has he crossed the line by putting into production a film about the Bush Administration? Well, the one thing that does impress us is the stellar cast he’s putting together.

Does anyone else get the feeling that Elizabeth Banks is becoming the next Hollywood “It” girl? It began with her role in The 40-Year Old Virgin and has continued on to a lead role in Kevin Smith’s Zack and Miri Make a Porno, and it will ultimately continue with her role as Laura Bush in Oliver Stone’s W, a biopic of current President George W. Bush.

I finally see now the masterpiece so many others have heralded the movie as, it just took a couple of extra viewings for me to open my eyes.

Take a breath, Hollywood, and wait until the story is over to adapt it for the screen.

This year’s Oscar Best Picture winner finally shows up on DVD, friend-o.

We haven’t seen him try something this badass since The Goonies.

I know many of you are thinking “What, no way, can’t be.” Well you’re in for a surprise, my friends, the Year of the Mustache is here.

Last year, it was Martin Scorcese that rocked the gangster-movie lover’s hearts with a duel between a mobster-cop and a cop-mobster. This year, another brilliant director, takes his turn to honor the genre.

From the novel by Cormac McCarthy, the Coens have concocted a lurid and unremitting thriller that will undoubtedly leave the viewer with both chills and some food for thought long after it’s over.

The spectacular failure that such a promising movie became leads me to wonder if cinema itself is dying.

From frame one, the directors make it clear that whatever’s about to happen, it’s not going to end well.

Few movies come along each decade like “No Country for Old Men”—it’s an old-fashioned, multi-tonal thriller with rich characters, fascinating story-telling and a unique perspective on a genre that’s seen it all.
