The lure of a Southern drawl at the movies

2013-05-05 09:00:00

"There are things you can get away with in this world, and things you can't." The voice is Matthew McConaughey's, and days after seeing him in "Mud," I can close my eyes and hear him still — a simple line echoing with the mysteries of a man caught...

Review: 'The Big Wedding' aims its raunchiness at the AARP crowd

2013-04-25 19:00:00

Don't be fooled into thinking that "The Big Wedding" is about the fetching young bride and groom. This is gross-out humor for the senior set. With raunchy comedies all the rage, I guess it was inevitable that sooner or later someone would go for the...

Review: Rescue mission needed for 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation'

2013-03-27 17:15:00

Who, oh who, will save the Joes while they're out saving the world? No one apparently. To borrow from Jack in the Box, "G. I. Joe: Retaliation" is one hot mess. Waiting didn't help. The decision to push the film from last summer into this year was...

Did you know Rebel Wilson actually had roles in "Les Miserables," "Life of Pi" and "Magic Mike"? Neither did we, until the 2013 MTV Movie Awards host shared some exclusive cut clips during the awards show.

Matthew McConaughey greased up and stripped down for Steven Soderbergh's "Magic Mike" and received some of the strongest reviews of his career. Despite Indie Spirit and Critics Choice Award nominations, Oscar proved to be just out of his grasp.
