The latest from Jason Statham, a remake of the 1986 Burt Reynolds film “Heat” called “Wild Card” will hit theaters this weekend and Julianne Moore in a role that might well win her the Oscar, “Still Alice” opens wide this weekend.
Kurt Loder, the longtime senior editor and writer at Rolling Stone Magazine, the face of MTV News for many years, author of several books, most recently “The Good, The Bad and the Godawful: 21st –Century Movie Reviews” and currently the film and movie review for Reason Magazine and Reason.com sat down with nationally syndicated talk show host Jerry Doyle to share his thoughts on the two films.
Watch the trailers to the two films and hear Kurt Loder’s reviews of the films below.
“Wild Card”
“Still Alice”
Loder’s thoughts on them both as well as the Sony Pictures hack and a lot more:
The long time senior editor and writer at Rolling Stone Magazine and MTV News, Kurt lives in New York and is the author of several books,most recently “The Good, The Bad and the Godawful: 21st –Century Movie Reviews”. In his newest book, the former Rolling Stone writer and MTV host takes off from classic Roger Ebert and sails boldly into the new millennium. Millions grew up reading the author’s record reviews and watching him on MTV’s “The Week in Rock.” In this collection of more than 200 movie reviews from MTV.com and, more recently, the Reason magazine Website, plus sidebars exclusive to this volume, Loder demonstrates his characteristic wry voice and finely honed observations. The author shines when writing on the best that Hollywood and indie filmmakers have to offer, and his negative reviews are sometimes more fun than his raves. This freewheeling survey of the wild, the wonderful and the altogether otherwise is an indispensable book for any film buff.
