"Changeling" Preview & Trailer
Film Gecko — The new trailer for the Clint Eastwood-directed thriller Changeling is out. The combination of Eastwood, producers Ron Howard and Brian Grazer, writer J. Michael Straczynski, and stars Angelina Jolie, John Malkovich, Jeffrey Donovan, and Amy Ryan will likely make this a winner. I truly appreciate Eastwood’s directing abilities.  Based on actual events, the film follows Christine Collins (Jolie), who’s thrilled when her kidnapped son is returned. But amidst the frenzy of the photo-op reunion, she ...

"Burn After Reading" Review
Film Gecko — ... Brothers movie with a lot of anticipation. Sadly, Burn After Reading doesn’t deliver the goods. It’s not a bad movie, even funny and touching in some parts. But I didn’t come away with that Wow! feeling, like I’ve done with other Coen movies. More after the jump… It’s an ensemble dramedy that follows the lives of several people, all of whom are connected in one way or another. John Malkovich is a CIA analyst who gets fired and decides to write a tell-all memoir. His ...

Kevin's Review: Changeling - Not The Film You Think
FirstShowing.net — ... One element that did come across as appropriately tortured and dramatic was the performances by Jolie and John Malkovich. Malkovich stars as Reverend Gustav Briegleb, a community activist who helps Catherine in her search. Malkvovich does a superb job in the role, probably because his performance is skillfully inconspicuous. Jolie, on the other hand, is a caricature of emotion. To a degree this suits her, considering the content of Changeling, especially when she is thrown into a mental institution (she channels A Girl Interrupted perfectly). Yet while her ...

Count the F-Bombs in 'Burn After Reading'
Get The Big Picture — I watched one of my favorite 2008 flicks again over the holidays, the Coen Brothers' Burn After Reading.

Check out just how loaded Burn After Reading is with f-bombs from Malkovich, Clooney, Pitt et al. But these aren't just ...

Get The Big Picture — There aren't a lot of guys whose known quality is the unknown. John Malkovich is one of them, so when he signs up for a project that already has the reputation for being a little weird, it's definitely a high-wire act; maybe he's perfect, or maybe that strange thing he does takes the movie in a direction it doesn't need to go. ...

Movie Review - 'The Great Buck Howard'
Get The Big Picture — ... There are times when your interest in a movie is raised just by part of the central premise. A couple of years ago, I was inrigued to see a movie called Colour Me Kubrick because John Malkovich was playing a con man passing himself off as reclusive director Stanley Kubrick. He'd say he was the man behind 2001 and Dr. Strangelove and tell bar patrons he needed more money to make his next film, and leave check in hand. ...
