The new trailer for Rob Marshall's Nine is here, and while the visuals certainly don't disappoint, I'm sad to report that it doesn't work quite as well as the lusciously dark first trailer. The big problem this time around is the featured song, "Cinema Italiano", and Kate Hudson's performance. The song just isn't that great,…

I was trying to remain positive about this upcoming Battleship movie because I think director Peter Berg has the potential to be great, but he's making it really hard for me right now.

I've been a fan of Pierre Morrel ever since his French parkour action film District B13 floored me back in 2005. The film was certainly imperfect, but looking at it purely as an action film you could tell that Morrel was someone to watch out for in the future. Several years later, he reminded us…
