The 10 Best Twist Endings in Movies
Feb 24th
10. ‘Seven’ (1995)
There are lots of twists in David Fincher’s serial killer classic, starting with the revelation midway through of an unbilled Kevin Spacey as the nameless murderer. But the big shocker comes at the end, when sleuth Brad Pitt opens that unfortunate box and is goaded by Spacey into doing his dirty work for him, completing the series of seven deadly-sin murders and damning his own soul. Maybe the bleakest movie ending ever. More >
Hollywood’s 10 Most Evil Actors
Feb 22nd
Some esteemed actors have built their careers on the foundation of playing exceptionally moral, honorable characters — Jimmy Stewart, Denzel Washington, Tom Hanks and Morgan Freeman, to name a few of moviedom’s finest examples of all that’s good and heroic. Other actors, well, let’s just say they were born to be bad… on screen, at least. Take ‘Shutter Island’ co-star Max von Sydow, who scares us more than any man enjoying his ninth decade on Earth has any right to. More >
The 50 Best Movies of 2009
Jan 28th
Call us greedy, but we’ve said it once, and we’ll say it again: Ten is not enough. While nearly all movie critics engage in the time-honored tradition of ranking their picks for 10 best flicks of the year, we prefer to take this time of year to recognize the admirable quantity of quality movies being produced, despite our occasional moaning that says otherwise. Therefore, like we have the past several years, we count to 50.
The big stories from 2009’s list: Family fare ruled, with four animated films ranking in our top 15. It was also a good year for action and big budget movies, even if six of the year’s 10 highest grossing movies didn’t make the cut (prior to ‘Avatar’s’ final figures, anyway). And perhaps the biggest lesson learned? Movies with the word “up” in the title totally rock. At least this year.
Presenting our 50 favorite films of 2009…
50. ‘Where the Wild Things Are’
Adapting a much-beloved, 10-sentence children’s book into a movie seemed like an impossible feat — and director Spike Jonze’s efforts resulted in perhaps the year’s most divisive movie. But no one can deny that the film’s dreamy cinematography and soaring soundtrack captured the melancholic essence of the Maurice Sendak’s original work. And then there’s the titular wild things, all soulful eyes and existential angst, who made our hearts rumpus. – Kelly Woo

49. ‘Michael Jackson’s This Is It’
The King of Pop’s death rekindled a myriad of emotions from anger to admiration, but it was the release of ‘This Is It’ four months later that eschewed ideas of Jackson: The Man and focused on Jackson: The Performer. At its core, the film reminded former and current fans of the energy, determination and talent it took to be, at one time, the world’s most popular entertainer and the unfulfilled promise of an imminent triumphant comeback. – Jason Newman
The 30 Most Anticipated Movies of 2010
Jan 27th
With the debates still raging on about the quality of last year’s films, I’d like to take a look ahead to the future. In fact, considering the year we just had, I’ve been looking ahead to 2010 ever since January of 2009. Don’t get me wrong. The movies were great, but it was really tough for me to keep up with movie news while I was out panhandling on I-35. Not to mention dangerous.
Hopefully our country’s fair citizens will have to panhandle no more forever, but instead of rambling off into tangents about the state of our economy, let’s escape a little bit into the future. A peaceful place where everyone gets a puppy, a flying car, and these movies:
