After being at perhaps the best concert I’ve ever been to, I realized once again how great a movie 8 Mile really is. I’m actually writing this post after just getting back from the Jay Z/Eminem concert at Yankee Stadium, and let me just add that the concert should be labeled more a spectacle. With [...]
Here at the banter we like to look out for the little guy. True entrepreneurs like ourselves, who want to take their love of movies to the next level, with hopes of getting seen and breaking out. Small start-up movies are very interesting and different than other movies, even studio independent movies. That’s because the [...]
As you know, I admire Tim Burton. I think he’s a genius. I just wish he’d do more original…Oh I wrote that one already. This weekend I came across a video of a seven year old who also shares my admiration for the director entitled “Tim.” The character in the short film is obsessed with [...]
Paul W.S. Anderson’s “Resident Evil: Afterlife” won the weekend with ease at the box office.
Here’s something that has been brought to my attention recently, and I thought was pretty cool. So we all know the Inception theme song. Click here to get a clip of it. Credit to Hans Zimmer, the genuis composer behind the score. Zimmer also did the score for Gladiator. Aside from John Williams, Zimmer might [...]

Dear Banterers, As part of our mission to keep changing the landscape to which we banter about movies, we at themoviebanter.com will be adding a “Did You Know” column. The theme of these articles will focus on interesting facts discovered about our favorite movies. Basically, if there is something to banter about on a movie, [...]
The Virginity Hit feels like the little engine that could. Its cast is virtually unheard of; so are the writer/directors; the budget could not have been very big; almost the whole thing looks like it was shot on handheld cameras. But it does have something HUGE behind it: Gary Sanchez productions, property of Will Ferrell [...]
Ron Howard has been announced as director of an upcoming film trilogy of Stephen King’s “The Dark Tower” novels, as well as exec. producer of an intricate TV series.
George Clooney plays Jack AKA Mr. Butterfly who is an assassin hiding out in Italy where he has one last mission before he will retire. He stays low under the radar completing his mission and interacting with the local priest who preaches his wisdom, while also falling for a local prostitute. The artsy movie possesses [...]
Matt Reeves (Cloverfield) is behind the camera as the director and writer of the heavily anticipated American revision of ‘Let The Right One In’ entitled LET ME IN. Some of you might still be pissed that the 2008 foreign smash hit Let The Right One In is being remade for American cinema. Be that as [...]
As we exit a relatively disappointing summer of movies, we enter fall and the beginning of Oscar season. This is the time of year studios release their best and brightest films in hopes to bring home Oscar gold. It also is a time when new TV series’ hit the major networks. But come on, we [...]
There are often debates over which movies are considered classics. Maybe within your group of friends you like to talk about the best films of the 70’s, and which of those are classics. Maybe you like generational debates with your parents because, no matter what year it is, parents just don’t understand. Maybe you like [...]
George Clooney’s “The American” managed to beat out Danny Trejo’s “Machete” at the box office.
Based on the remarkable true story, “Secretariat” chronicles the spectacular journey of the 1973 Triple Crown winner. Housewife and mother Penny Chenery (Diane Lane) agrees to take over her ailing father’s Virginia-based Meadow Stables, despite her lack of horse-racing knowledge. Against all odds, Chenery—with the help of veteran trainer Lucien Laurin (John Malkovich)—manages to navigate [...]
A lot of people hated it when Steve Carell went on the insanely funny “Between Two Ferns with Zack Galifianakis” to promote this year’s Date Night, but I thought it was brilliant. There are always commercials, trailers, and billboards everywhere; that’s pretty much a given for anything starring Carell. Actually, that’s the case for anyone [...]
The viral marketing campaign behind Machete has generated a decent buzz for the film. As I write this post, the trailer for the film just popped up on TV ending with Jessica Alba glaring her eyes while in the shower. Not a bad way to catch the eye. The film has been marketed just like [...]
“Machete” won’t go around breaking any financial records, but it’s still worth checking out.
