MOVIE REVIEW: The Bourne Legacy

August 10th, 2012 James Shotwell

Film: The Bourne Legacy
Director: Tony Gilroy

Five years have past since we last cared about the name Jason Bourne, but Universal Pictures is looking to change that this weekend with the release of The Bourne Legacy. I plan to write at least a couple hundred words about the film in the following paragraphs, but if you’re feeling too lazy to read that much just note that choosing literally any other film at the box office this weekend (except Total Recall) is far more likely to result in you being entertained than this two-hour(+) waste of talent.

MOVIE TRAILER: Bourne Legacy

February 8th, 2012 James Shotwell

The official teaser trailer for Bourne Legacy has finally arrived online.

Allowing Jeremy Renner to take the reigns from Matt Damon, Bourne Legacy looks good thus far. The trailer does not show much, but it is definitely enough to get us hooked. You can view the full teaser for Bourne Legacy after the jump.

Synopsis: The narrative architect behind the Bourne film series, Tony Gilroy, takes the helm in the next chapter of the hugely popular espionage franchise that has earned almost $1 billion at the global box office: The Bourne Legacy. The writer/director expands the Bourne universe …

SCENE & HEARD: We Bought A Zoo

December 26th, 2011 James Shotwell

Written by UTG critic Grace Duffy, Scene & Heard takes a look at the music that makes our favorite films so memorable. Whether it’s the 400-piece orchestra Christopher Nolan used for The Dark Knight, or the dozen or so bands that contributed to the soundtrack of Top Gun, there is no denying the impact music has on movies and this column hopes to highlight the best of the best.

If you have a suggestion for a film we should cover on Scene & Heard, please contact us by emailing utgjames@gmail.com.

Given my location upon the European shores of the …

MOVIE REVIEW: We Bought A Zoo

December 11th, 2011 James Shotwell

Film: We Bought A Zoo
Starring: Matt Damon
Director: Cameron Crowe

Returning to the silver screen six-years after Elizabethtown failed to make the cultural impact many had hoped, Cameron Crowe is targeting families everywhere this holiday season with We Bought A Zoo. Based on a true story and lead by an impressively empathetic Matt Damon, the film strays from Crowe’s glory days, but packs just enough schmaltz and feel good vibes that most will never even notice.

MOVIE TRAILER: We Bought A Zoo (Matt Damon, Scarlett Johansson)

September 14th, 2011 James Shotwell

20th Century Fox has released the first theatrical trailer for Cameron Crowe’s We Bought A Zoo. Starring Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson, the film is based on the memoir by Benjamin Mee and tells the story of a man who decides to buy and run a zoo with his family following the death of his wife.

Now call us suspicious, but it is a little surprising this trailer popped up online within hours of Johansson’s ass-etts hitting the net. Maybe with her level of popularity, even the studios will come to your defense.

Regardless, this looks like one some …

July 14th, 2011 James Shotwell

Steven Soderbergh is about to give those that fear germs a new reason to be afraid. Contagion which opens in theaters and IMAX on September 9, is said to be Soderbergh’s attempt at reality horror and follows the idea of what would ACTUALLY happen if a deadly virus outbreak happened (this means NO ZOMBIES).

Check out the official trailer for yourself below and feel free to comment with your thoughts after!

THE PLOT:Contagion” follows the rapid progress of a lethal airborne virus that kills within days. As the fast-moving epidemic grows, the worldwide medical community races to find a
