The Warriors (directed by Walter Hill) Nothing says mid-summer mania like a home screening of the '70s cult classic The Warriors. You can practically feel the racial conflicts, urban disillusionment and summer swelter emanating from the screen. If you've never experienced this must-see for New Yorkers, it's recent transfer to HD-DVD after a director's cut release in 2005, is a good enough excuse as any. The city's gangs have decided to converge for a peaceful......

There's two majorly horrific films coming out this weekend, though only some of the frights are intentional. Gaspard Ulliel seemed like such a nice boy in A Very Long Engagement, but that was before he decided to take on the psycho killer character Hannibal Lecter in the prequel, Hannibal Rising. Apparently in this installment of the series we'll find out what led the Doctor to become a creepy dilettante with a taste for fava beans,......

Yeesh, there sure are a lot of new movies out this weekend. Choose wisely and you will be well rewarded. In a shameless bid for our "penguins are cute" bias, Warner Brothers releases the animated Happy Feet about singing and tap dancing Emperor Penguins. If only furry black and white birds who rap to Stevie Wonder beats weren't so darn adorable! If you're still in Arrested Development withdrawal, the hilarious Will Arnett stars in Bob......

Boy meets girl on a blind date in a diner. Boy and girl fall in love, move in together and get married. Boy and girl’s relationship crashes and burns. It’s a very New York story that’s all too familiar, yet hardly seems inevitable from the romantic opening scene of Flannel Pajamas, a new indie drama playing at the Angelika. Gothamist recently sat down with the movie’s stars, Julianne Nicholson and Justin Kirk--two actors whose good-natured......

Gothamist doesn't know why we bothered with the 2005 Emmy Nominations because they were boring, except that we're ruthless TV watchers and awards show fiends, so we're painted into the corner. The actors, actresses, and programs nominated were all fine and very talented, but it's the same crew every year! James Gandolfini...Allison Janney...The West Wing...Will & Grace - which wasn't even as good as the subpar non-nominated Friends this past season...four writing nominations for the......

The SAG nominations have been announced, and while the usual suspects of late appear, the biggest surprise is the strong showing for The Station Agent, with Peter Dinklage and Patricia Clarkson getting lead nominations and the cast receiving an ensemble nominations. The SAGs are voted on by actors, so these are usually a pretty decent indicator of who will be nominated for the Oscars' acting categories. We would like to see Johnny Depp get an......

Gothamist enjoyed with the first part of the Mike Nicols–directed adaptation of Angels in America, and we were especially impressed with our friend Justin Kirk's performance. Justin was in the New York Times this past weekend where his hair's malleability is revealed (his hair "can go both ways") and tried to move interviewer Alexandra Jacobs off the subject of politics: "How about something on my blue eyes?" Why not talk about politics? Well, as......

HBO has been hyping their $60 million epic film, Angels in America, for weeks and weeks, and it seems that the hype of seeing Tony Kushner's Pulitzer and Tony–winning play on screen, directed by Mike Nichols, with performances by Meryl Streep, Al Pacino, Emma Thompson, Mary Louise Parker, and Jeffrey Wright is justified. Gothamist read Angels in America ten years ago, so we've been eagerly awaiting the adaptation (buy Angels in America: The Millennium......
