FILM THREAT’S FRIGID 50: THE COLDEST PEOPLE IN HOLLYWOOD (40-50)
40. DIRECTORS THAT INSIST ON PUTTING THEIR OWN “TOUCH” ON SUPERHERO MOVIES Industry players like Tim Burton and Guillermo del Toro need to take the lead from Sam Raimi and Bryan Singer, the only directors in decades to make a superhero movie that stayed true to the original comic books.

FILM THREAT’S FRIGID 50: THE COLDEST PEOPLE IN HOLLYWOOD (30-39)
30. DISNEY ANIMATED SEQUELS When we were kids, no one even considered a sequel to “Bambi,” “Snow White,” “Sleeping Beauty” and other Disney classics.

FILM THREAT’S FRIGID 50: THE COLDEST PEOPLE IN HOLLYWOOD (1-10)
1. RUSSELL CROWE Our favorite wild boor, whose bad-boy big mouth and Redwood-sized chip-on-the-shoulder easily cost him an Oscar for A Beautiful Mind. If he doesn’t stop pissing people off, he’ll go from making flicks like Gladiator and return to his B-Movie roots with flicks like Mystery, Alaska. 2. WINONA RYDER Sure, this is too [...]

SCREENING AT THE ARCLIGHT IN LOS ANGELES, NOVEMBER 29TH! “Looking Through Lillian” moves at a smooth and steady pace, so much so that it’s hypnotic.
