No, you didn’t read that headline wrong, you dirty bird.The “Indian” is, in fact, a motorcycle made in the 1920s. And Anthony Hopkins plays Burt Monro, a 68-year old New Zealander dead set on riding that old relic as fast as he can, straight into the world record books. “The World’s Fastest Indian” is a […]

Manitoba, Canada, stands in for Holcomb, Kansas, and gifted character actor Philip Seymour Hoffman takes on the guise of “In Cold Blood” author Truman Capote in director Bennett Miller’s much-lauded new film. “Capote” languidly follows the eccentric literary darling from late 1959 to the mid-’60s as he works on the book that would change the […]

With all the fawning awards attention currently focused on “Brokeback Mountain,” Eric & J.D. both agree that Steven Spielberg’s “Munich” is getting the shaft. It may be to provocative to be a front-runner for Best Picture, but to Scene Stealers, that means the film warrants a Director’s Cut review! Check out this extended rant on […]

For all of its sexual frankness and unusual main characters, writer/director Duncan Tucker’s “Transamerica” is way more familiar than it should be. Essentially an “odd couple” road trip movie about two strangers who must learn to get along, it is redeemed in part by an exceptional lead performance by Felicity Huffman. Huffman plays Bree Osbourne, […]

Woody Allen strays from his favorite setting of New York City and the familiar strains of old-time jazz to the upper crust of London and opera in “Match Point,” a diabolical look at passion and power. The move not only suits Allen’s subject matter, but also marks his first truly great film since 1999’s “Sweet […]

This is the year where everybody stayed away from the theaters and watched DVDs. At least that’s what Hollywood would have you believe. I’ve read articles claiming that 2005 hit a record low for attendance in theaters, and other articles claiming that if you look at the numbers, that just is not an accurate statement. […]

The term “corporate conscience” exists now only as an oxymoron. It is precisely this sort of brazen, out-of-control behavior from the filthiest rich of the world’s population that […]
