    Many fans consider 2012 to be one of the best years for film in a long time. We've had great popcorn movies, huge epics, mind-melting indies and new films from some of the best filmmakers around. But every year has some stinkers and as good as 2012 has been, it's probably been equally as bad…

  • New 'Red Tails' Trailer And Poster Promise High-Flying, Emotional Action

    I really love the action we've seen in the first two trailers for the George Lucas-produced, Anthony Hemingway-directed WWII film Red Tails. In both the first trailer and this new one, we see some spectacular dogfighting action. It's the sort of stuff that any student of Lucas knows has been the filmmaker's major preoccupation for…
