Last year, Quentin Tarantino released a list of what he called the best films of 2011. This year he has repeated the list-making effort, and Tarantino's list of the best eleven films of 2011 is out now. (Or best twelve films, really, since there is a tie in one position.) Along with that comes a…

In 2011, I saw more new movies than I ever have in the past. Previous years I'd flirted with roughly two per week but, this year, thanks to a full Sundance Film Festival, Fantastic Fest, Butt-Numb-A-Thon and other events like AFI Fest and the Los Angeles Film Festival, that number jumped up to 167. Several…

Every year during awards season, The Hollywood Reporter somehow organizes the schedules of basically every single actor, actress, writer and director of the year's best films to sit down and discuss them.

Warrior is one of my favorite films of the year. Much more than just a movie about mixed martial arts, director Gavin O'Connor's film earns its stripes by spending time developing complex characters and familiar relationships that pay off in spades once the fighting begins. Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton play estranged brothers who simultaneously,…

Whether it's from a punch to the jaw or ogling women, when you cast two of the most sought after male actors in Hollywood as feuding siblings dead set on a mixed martial arts championship, odds are you're going to turn a few heads. Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton do just that in the upcoming…

Other than comedies, sports movies are probably ruined in trailers more than another other genre. Mostly that's because sports movies are generally predictable and cheesy but, even with that caveat, the trailer for Warrior might cross the line. Directed by Gavin O'Connor and starring Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton, the film follows two brothers who…

Considering Apollo 18 had a release date before it had a director, and that release date was four months away, it's not that big of a shock that the Timur Bekmambetov-produced film has been moved from its original March 4 release date. What's more surprising is that it only moved back a month, to April…

When I first glanced the news, I envisioned Nick Nolte shelling out the kind of maniacal just deserts that Tropic Thunder unforgivably withheld. Alas, it sounds nearly as choice. In the newly announced flick, Warrior, Nolte will play "an ex-Vietnam vet boxer-turned-steel mill worker whose family was torn apart by his alcoholism." In summation: Nolte.…
