GOLD Trailers, Clip, Images and Posters

Directed by Stephen Gaghan ("Syriana"), the drama "Gold" tells the story of Kenny Wells (Matthew McConaughey), an unlucky businessman who teams up with geologist Michael Acosta (Édgar Ramírez) to find gold deep in the uncharted jungles of Borneo, Indonesia. Bryce Dallas Howard, Corey Stoll, Toby Kebbell, Craig T. Nelson, Macon Blair, Stacy Keach, Rachael Taylor and Bruce Greenwood co-star.

The film is loosely based on the true story of the 1993 Bre-X mining scandal, which involved a massive gold deposit being discovered in an Indonesian jungle. The film received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Original Song, but that's about it. It was an awards hopeful, as indicated by the December 25th limited release, which was set to qualify for awards, but as the film received mostly mixed reviews, it was a long shot.

McConaughey was universally praised for his performance, but everything else left critics indifferent. It was also a box-office flop as it only grossed $3.4 million from 2,166 theaters when it expanded nationwide on January 27th.

The film is now available on DVD and Blu-ray.

A DOG'S PURPOSE Trailer, Featurettes, Clips, Images and Posters

The dramedy "A Dog's Purpose" recently came under fire for the way animals were treated on set when a leaked video showed a dog seemingly being forced to perform a stunt that required it to jump into turbulent waters.

Directed by Lasse Hallström based on W. Bruce Cameron's novel "A Dog's Purpose: A Novel for Humans", the film tells the story of a dog (voiced by Josh Gad), that looks to discover his purpose in life over the course of several lifetimes and owners. While critics didn't exactly love it for reasons that involved the film's sugary sentimentality, audiences seemed to have enjoyed it as CinemaScore gave it an "A".

The cast also features Dennis Quaid, Peggy Lipton, K.J. Apa, Britt Robertson, Juliet Rylance and Bryce Gheisar.

"A Dog's Purpose" opened in theaters on January 27th, 2017. The film is now available on DVD and Blu-ray.

The cinematic trailer introduces a new character and villain, Kett Archon. You can tell he's evil from the following line uttered in the trailer: "I don't need an army. I've got a Krogan." He certainly sounds like your typical space rogue.

THE FOUNDER Clips, Featurettes, Images and Posters

The biopic "The Founder" tells the story of Ray Kroc (Michael Keaton), the ruthless businessman who transformed McDonald's from a small fast food diner owned by two brothers into the worldwide franchise we know today. Although that might sound like your average "success story", the film carries a much darker tone due to Kroc's aggressive tactics and willingness to step on anyone to get where he needs to get. It's also Keaton's career-best performance, as many critics noted, but unfortunately his work went by unnoticed this awards season.

Directed by John Lee Hancock ("The Blind Side"), the film also stars Nick Offerman, John Carroll Lynch, Linda Cardellini, Laura Dern, Patrick Wilson and B.J. Novak.

The film opened in theaters on January 20th, 2017, but ended with a poor box-office performance, grossing only $3.4 million in its nationwide release.

STAR WARS: EPISODE VIII Title and Poster Revealed

We finally have the title and a teaser poster for Rian Johnson's highly anticipated "Star Wars: Episode VIII". The sequel will be titled "Star Wars: The Last Jedi". Not a whole lot to say here, except that this one will keep fans puzzled right until the film opens in theaters on December 15th.

Note that the title refers to the last of the Jedi, but that says nothing about the Sith. I expect there will be at least one of those around for a spectacular lightsaber battle. Everything will probably build towards a real showdown between a better trained Rey and a more evil and self-controlled Kylo Ren.

The film will also star franchise newcomers Laure Dern, Benicio Del Toro and Kelly Marie Tran. Everyone else will return, except for the one we lost in "The Force Awakens".

Here is the official press release, and the poster below:

"We have the greatest fans in this or any other galaxy. In appreciation of the fans, we wanted them to be the first to know the title of the next chapter in the Skywalker saga: Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is written and directed by Rian Johnson and produced by Kathleen Kennedy and Ram Bergman and executive produced by J.J. Abrams, Jason McGatlin, and Tom Karnowski.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is scheduled for release December 15, 2017."

2017 Oscar Nominations: LA LA LAND Ties Record With 14 Nods

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have announced the nominations for the 2017 Oscar awards. The leader of the pack is "La La Land" with 14 nods, tying the record for most Oscar nominations, which is currently held by "Titanic" and "All About Eve". The musical entered the Best Picture race alongside "Arrival", "Fences", "Hacksaw Ridge", "Hell or High Water", "Hidden Figures", "Lion", "Manchester by the Sea" and "Moonlight".

The next films to score the most nominations are "Moonlight" and "Arrival" with 8 nods each, followed by "Lion", "Manchester by the Sea" and "Hacksaw Ridge" with 6 each.

In the Best Director category, Mel Gibson scored his first nomination in 10 years. He was last nominated for "Braveheart" in 1995 and won. He is joined by Damien Chazelle ("La La Land"), Denis Villeneuve ("Arrival"), Barry Jenkins ("Moonlight") and Kenneth Lonergan ("Manchester by the Sea").

Amy Adams was not nominated for Best Actress in what is most likely the biggest snubs of the year. Adams' work in "Arrival" has been receiving recognition left and right, but not at the Oscars. The Academy instead chose to once again nominate Meryl Streep for "Florence Foster Jenkins", and some feel it might be in part because of her fiery speech at the Golden Globes and vocal opposition against Trump. On a positive note, Isabelle Huppert managed to score a nod for her amazing role in Paul Verhoeven's "Elle".

Other snubs include Martin Scorsese "Silence", which only received a nomination for Best Cinematography, and Clint Eastwood's "Sully". The latter similarly received a single nod for Best Sound Editing. Also, for those of you hoping that "Deadpool" would have a good Oscar run following the PGA and WGA recognition, unfortunately it didn't work out. The comic book movie received no nominations. In fact, comic book movies were poorly represented this year. Only "Suicide Squad" and "Doctor Strange" managed to get nominated, for Makeup and Visual Effects, respectively.

It was a huge day for companies, however, as Amazon managed to be the first to have one of their films, "Manchester by the Sea", nominated for Best Picture, beating Netflix to the punch. As for which studio won the most nominations, that would be Lionsgate with 26 nods, with "La La Land" and "Hell or High Water" among their Oscar lineup.

The 89th Academy Awards will be hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, and they will be broadcast on February 26th on ABC.

2017 Razzies Nominations: ZOOLANDER 2 and BATMAN V SUPERMAN Lead Among Worst of 2016

If you've had enough of 2016's best films, it's time to see about rewarding the worst. "Zoolander No. 2" and "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" lead the 37th Annual Razzie Awards with nine and eight nods, respectively, including the big ones: Worst Picture, Director and Screenplay. The films also received nominations in the acting categories for Ben Stiller, Kristen Wiig, Will Ferrell, Owen Wilson, Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill.

Other contenders for the infamous awards include "Dirty Grandpa", "Alice Through the Looking Glass", "Independence Day: Resurgence", "Gods of Egypt", and "Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party". The latter, a documentary, is an odd choice for the Razzies, but I suppose the political tensions and anti-Trump sentiments in Hollywood are reflected in this inclusion.

The Razzies expanded their Worst Picture category from five to six contenders this year. They also haven't announced any nominees for the Razzie's recent category, the Razzie Redeemer Award, first introduced in 2014. It's unclear whether the category has been excluded, or if they're having a hard time finding any redeeming performances for the past year. Either way, it would be a shame to lose it. Previous winners of the Redeemer Award were Ben Affleck for "Gone Girl" and "Argo" in 2015, and Sylvester Stallone for "Creed" in 2016.

The winners of the 2017 Razzie Awards will be announced on February 25th.

Trailers, Clips, Images and Posters for ELLE Starring Isabelle Huppert

"Elle" is a new psychological thriller from Dutch master Paul Verhoeven. In his Hollywood days, the director was responsable for ultra-violent masterpieces such as "RoboCop", "Total Recall" and "Starship Troopers", as well as the erotic thriller "Basic Instinct". After the not-so-great "Hollow Man" in 2000, Verhoeven left Hollywood and his next film, the BAFTA-nominated "Zwartboek", came after a six-year hiatus. Now, after another 10 dry years, the director returns with a very different, but equally provocative film. It's also his first French language film.

Isabelle Huppert stars as the successful head of a video game company, who is ruthless both in business and her love life. When she is raped in her own home by a masked assailant, her life spirals out of control as she plots revenge and enters a dangerous game with her suspected attacker. Laurent Lafitte, Anne Consigny, Christian Berkel, Jonas Bloquet, Virginie Efira and Charles Berling co-star.

The film has been generously rewarded with numerous awards, including two Golden Globes for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Actress (Drama), and the Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Last year, Verhoeven was nominated for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. It missed out on the BAFTA awards this year, because the film was not yet released in the U.K., so it will probably receive its due recognition next year.

The biggest snub, however came from the Academy Awards. The film was selected as the French entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 89th Academy Awards, but it didn't make the shortlist. It is now known as "one of the greatest Oscar Foreign Language Film Snubs of all-time."

"Elle" opened in limited release on November 11, 2016 in the U.S. and will be released in the U.K. on March 10th.
