James Rocchi — Mon, 12 Nov 2012 21:30:32 +0000

Jacob Hall — Sun, 08 Jul 2012 19:32:19 +0000

With the exception of poor Katy Perry, everyone was a winner at the box office this week. Seriously. Of the top ten films, nine of them either opened well or held well, making this one of the most consistent weekends of the summer season. Filmmakers and studios: pat yourselves on the backs. You've earned this one.

Enter the World of 'Savages' With This New Featurette

ScreenCrush Staff — Tue, 03 Jul 2012 19:14:43 +0000

Oliver Stone’s ‘Savages‘ opens this weekend, and it feels like a film out of time. You don’t get many R-rated wide releases in the summer anymore and the film seems like it belongs in the 1990′s, when ‘Pulp Fiction’ was de rigueur. The film’s stars talk about the movie and John Travolta says that ‘Savages’ [...]

'Savages' Review

Jordan Hoffman — Tue, 03 Jul 2012 01:15:59 +0000

I took very few notes as I watched Oliver Stone's 'Savages.' I basically have one phrase in large print in the center of the page: “I can't tell if I'm supposed to be taking this seriously.”

It's underlined. Three times.

'Savages' is nothing if not unique. Oh, the basic plot isn't unique - a group of crafty outsiders take on the mob – but the specifics are so peculiar that you'll feel compelled to both applaud and mutter WTF. Often at the same time.

'Savages' Clip: Don't Mess With Salma Hayek

Mike Sampson — Thu, 21 Jun 2012 19:24:16 +0000

In Oliver Stone's 'Savages', Salma Hayek plays the ruthless head of the Baja Cartel and you might think it's a stretch to see someone like Salma playing a drug lord. But after you watch this new clip, you will agree: you do not want to f--- with Salma Hayek.

Gary Busey + Aaron Johnson in 'Savages' — Dead Ringers?

Nick Romano — Wed, 13 Jun 2012 14:27:39 +0000

Aaron Johnson's character in 'Savages' has it pretty rough. Though the pot business he runs with his brother (played by Taylor Kitsch) is thriving, his refusal to combine forces with Salma Hayek initiates the capture and mild torture of his smokin' hot girlfriend. So, one can understand why he ultimately goes all Gary Busey crazy for a little bit.

Happy 'Dark Knight Rises' and 'Amazing Spider-Man' month, everyone! You could tell us that you're not into either of these comic book heroes and we wouldn't believe you, but we'll still give you plenty of other new movie releases to choose from for July 2012.
