The Lincoln Lawyer

After taking three years off to start a family, Matthew McConaughey is back on screen in THE LINCOLN LAWYER. Not only did he put his shirt back on, but he covered it with a suit... attorney style!

The film is an adaptation of the novel by Michael Connelly, who, as a crime reporter for The LA Times, ran across a few slick lawyers, including the titled one, who conducted business in the backseat of his car driving from courthouse to lockup and back. It's a terrific thriller with a bit of blackmail and lots of legal maneuvering, and a good plot twist or three.

Now, colour me boring, but I'd take Bongo Boy in a suit and a courtroom any day over his more common sappy RomComs and stoner flicks, and Ryan Phillippe plays duplicity with the innocence of a choir boy.

This is a Movie News must see...

Red Riding Hood

It's a brand new take on an age old fairy tale. TWILIGHT with a twist? Possibly. It does have the same director, a love triangle, and scary beasts. But this RED RIDING HOOD is a striking visual with the iconic red cape, and the fairy tale looks of the stunning Amanda Seyfried.

Andrew Warne talks to the filmmakers about the classic cautionary tale they have refashioned into a coming of age story for a young girl on the cusp of sexual awakening, which may or may not be age appropriate!

For Catherine Hardwick this is no shrinking violet or damsel in distress, but a woman who takes charge and faces her primal fears...
