Does The Coen Brothers’ take on old Hollywood live up to their past achievements? Set in 1951, Hail, Caesar! centers around a studio “manager”, Eddie Mannix (Josh Brolin), whose job it is to keep the actors in line as their constant personal lives force pictures to come to a standstill.

REVIEW: PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES

LEST WE FORGET: THE MUMMY
“Patience is a virtue.” “Not right now, it isn’t.” This is the film that started it all, at least for me.

The Year was 1999: Why I Believe 1999 was the Best Year for Film
My father and I often have a debate on what year was the greatest year for film. He, being a man of his age, sticks to the classic 1939, and who is to say that 39' wasn’t the greatest year for film.
