Title: Machine Gun Preacher Director: Marc Forster Starring: Gerard Butler, Michelle Monaghan, Michael Shannon, Souleymane Sy Savane, Madeline Carroll Can faulty filmmaking kill the message and/or spirit of a movie? After seeing Machine Gun Preacher…the answer is yes & no. While the product gets its point across, the delivery and execution behind-the-lens makes it tough to want to hear out this tale that has a unique attraction; for what the audience take-in on screen is still happening today. It’s just a shame the cinematic storytelling is not worthy of the subject matter it is depicting. Sam Childers (Gerard Butler) is an in-and-out of jail motorcycle drug addict who has more…

Science-fiction is often so terribly difficult to get right on screen because its makers get bogged down in minutiae, trying to craft expansive, futuristic and/or alien worlds, or over-explain the processes that differentiate and separate their plane of reality from that of the present day. “Source Code “, thankfully, is not one of those movies. It grooves, it pulses, it entertains — deftly balancing smarts with a streamlined aim to please. The sophomore effort of director Duncan Jones ( “Moon “), the high-concept techno-thriller is kind of amusingly impatient with some of the nitty-gritty specifics of its own conceit (“Every second explaining things puts more lives at risk!” one character…

Stephen Dorff has been chosen to replace Matt Dillon as Charlie Rankin, the male lead in the upcoming independent movie ‘Boot Tracks,’ Collider is reporting. No reason has publicly been given on the cast change. Appearing with Dorff in the film, which is based on the novel of the same name by Matthew F.

He has a fling with an insecure former porn star, Florence Jane, who will be played by Monaghan. After the fling, Charlie must perform…

Title: Source Code Directed By: Duncan Jones Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal, Vera Farmiga, Michelle Monaghan, Jeffrey Wright, Michael Arden, Cas Anvar, Kyle Gatehouse Source Code is big for Duncan Jones. Having stepped into the spotlight in the best way possible via his critically acclaimed first feature, Moon, Jones was bound for big budget Hollywood. Sure enough, the opportunity arose and Source Code is his second feature. Now the question is, can Jones do it again but with a new leading man and a whole lot more money? It’s a noble effort, but in the end, Source Code makes it quite clear; lots of money and a heartthrob lead don’t guarantee you…

Title: Due Date Directed by: Todd Phillips (The Hangover, The Hangover 2) Starring: Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man 2, Sherlock Holmes, Tropic Thunder), Zach Galifianakis (Puss in Boots, Dinner for Schmucks), Juliette Lewis (Different Kind of Love, The Darwin Awards, Whip It), Michelle Monaghan (Machine Gun Preacher), Danny McBride (Land of the Lost) and Jamie Foxx (Kane & Lync, The Soloist) Movies that don’t make their audiences think often times fall short on plot, premise, laughs and chemistry. While ‘Due Date’s simplistic plot-line was basically revealed in its theatrical trailers, it stands out from many other comedies released today, as it still delivers its promised light-hearted laughs. Plus, it has…
