Chicago – I may never know how “In Their Skin” came into being, but I have a pretty good theory. Screenwriter/star Josh Close was so appalled by the unapologetic bleakness of Michael Haneke’s “Funny Games” that he took it upon himself to make the exact same movie, more or less, but with a much happier ending. It’s a noble effort but every bit as pointless as Rod Lurie’s proudly non-misogynistic remake of “Straw Dogs.”

Perhaps Close was so offended by the killers’ blasé approach to offing a rich family in Haneke’s film that he wanted to illustrate how white upper class folk are every bit as prone to suffering as the rest of us. “We’re not perfect!” shouts Close at his captor, a ruthless madman hell-bent on stealing his identity. Instead of finding their home invaded by two creepy male sociopaths, the innocent trio of...

Chicago – The set-up for the domestic horror of “In Their Skin” immediately brings to mind excellent thrillers like Michael Haneke’s “Funny Games,” David Moreau & Xavier Palud’s “Them,” and Bryan Bertino’s underrated “The Strangers.” There’s something inherently terrifying about being assaulted in a place you consider safe – your home. When home is no longer protected, what is? Sadly, Jeremy Power Regimbal’s intense drama doesn’t offer anything significant to a horror genre filled with superior choices. Regimbal does the best with what he’s given but it’s Joshua Close’s obvious script and a mediocre ensemble that fail to deliver.

A family – Mary (Selma Blair), Mark (Joshua Close), and Brendon (Quinn Lord) – head to an isolated retreat home after the death of their little girl. Racked with grief already, the trio is surprised to encounter another family – Bobby (James D’Arcy), Jane (Rachel Miner...

Written by Joshua Close

Canada, 2012

Following a still raw and recent family tragedy, Mark (Joshua Close), Mary (Selma Blair), and their nine-year-old son Brendon (Quinn Lord) take a therapeutic sylvan sabbatical to their family cottage. One morning, they are unceremoniously introduced to the Zakowski’s, an overly ingratiating family consisting of a married couple, Bobby and Jane, and their big-for-his-age son Jared (James D’Arcy, Rachel Miner, Alex Ferris). After, when Mark is obligated to invite them over to dinner, things start to spiral into a dark and perilous situation when the true intentions of the Zakowski’s are slowly revealed.

Chicago – The true power of a bump-in-the-night type film is not an overt or bloody attack on a person, but the anticipation or psychological elements that precedes the main event. Director Jeremy Power Regimbal has a fine example of that type of thriller in his new film, “In Their Skin.”

The film is his directorial debut, after success as a producer and in various production capacities. It features familiar character actors Selma Blair (TV’s “Anger Management”), Joshua Close (“The Master”) and James D’Arcy (who portrays Anthony Perkins in the upcoming “Hitchcock”), and deals with a sense of unease regarding a couple (Blair and Close) who are dealing with a tragedy by getting away from it all in a woodsy vacation home, and their new neighbors who have a penchant for wearing out a welcome.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid, based on the successful children’s book series of the same name, is an amusing effort, but one which is perhaps fighting a losing battle from the start. While a decent helping of fun, and sure to provide a handful of laughs for the appropriate audience, something seems lost is translation here, and it may be a result of the book’s specific imagination-friendly positives.

Greg Heffley (Zachary Gordon) is about to enter middle school, and beyond the normal host of dread events that are life in public school for a stature-challenged American, Greg also has best friend Rowley to deal with. Rowley is the textbook example of how to get beat up in school, complete with glowing bicycle, and he’s thwarting any chance Greg has of moving up the school’s popularity scale.

Adding to the stresses of his daily life, Greg’s...

Diary of a Wimpy Kid is hitting this week, and I recently got a chance to check in with Alex Ferris, who plays Collin. It was a lot of fun to talk to the young actor who was recently nominated for two Young Artist Awards (The Time Traveler's Wife, Living Out Loud), and given my experience interviewing people under the age of 15, it was rather educational as well. Given my fairly limited knowledge of the book/film, it was educational in more ways than one. For those who also are not among the initiated, Collin (who Alex describes as a preppy, Republican kid) becomes friends with Rowley after Rowley and Greg (the wimpy kid) have a fight. Your first impression of Alex is that of a child with somewhat too much sugar in his diet, or perhaps an actor not yet jaded out of the excitement of talking to someone...

The Vancouver based child-actor discusses his role in the new film adapted from the popular children's series of books 12 year-old Vancouver based actor Alex Ferris has done more in his short lifespan than some people do in decades. The child actor is not only the star of the hit Canadian TV series jPod but has also been featured in such American movies as Rv with Robin Williams, David Goyer's The Invisible and last summer's The Time Traveler's Wife playing a young Eric Bana. However soon you will be able to see the young actor in the new film Diary Of A Wimpy Kid, opening in theaters on March 19th, which is based on the hit series of children's books by author Jeff Kinney. We had an opportunity to speak with Alex Ferris about the new film, the character that he plays, his involvement in the possible sequel and his short but impressive career.

February was a time for love with the breakaway success of Valentine’s Day. However, March seems to be more of a ragtag group. After all, March doesn’t really have the advantage of any real marketable holidays, aside from St. Patty’s Day and after this year’s Leap Year most audiences are probably over the Irish thing. So with March, there’s no real rhyme or reason to the releases, but hey, they always say that variety is the spice of life. You have some of the more family-friendly movies such as Diary of a Wimpy Kid while also exploring some more explicit fare with John Cusack in Hot Tub Time Machine. It seems to be an odd mix of movies for the kids and the ever-popular gross-out comedy. Leading off the month of March is Tim Burton’s highly anticipated adaptation of a Lewis Carroll classic…

The story of the Time Traveler.s Wife is from the best-selling book by Audrey Niffenegger. It.s a moving, graceful film but the concept of time travel might not be everyone.s cup of tea. If you have fond memories of Somewhere in Time then this film might also hit that same emotional cord. Young Henry DeTamble (Alex Ferris) is riding with his mother (Michelle Nolden) down the highway after the pair did some Christmas shopping. A minor traffic accident sends the car skidding towards certain doom and Henry literally fades away. The boy finds himself naked and back two weeks before. He hides in the shadows watching himself, his father (Arliss Howard) and mother in simpler...

The folks at Yahoo! Movies just released the first trailer for Thor Freudenthal's upcoming family flick "Diary of a Wimpy Kid," the big-screen adaptation of Jeff Kinney's illustrated series. Watch it right after the jump.

The film follows Greg Heffley (Zachary Gordon), a pre-adolescent boy who gets into quite a bit of trouble at school and at home. Chloe Moretz, Steve Zahn, Rachael Harris, Alex Ferris and Robert Capron star.

"Diary of a Wimpy Kid" is on track to open in theaters April 2, 2010. I can't say I fell in love with this first trailer, but this could potentially turn into a fun flick youngsters may actually enjoy. Cast looks good.

A couple of early posters for Dwayne Johnson’s latest, the kiddie comedy “The Tooth Fairy”. What’s it all about? My guess is that Johnson is a uber tough guy with a secret heart of gold, who learns to let go of his steely exterior to appreciate life and what not. A kid is probably involved as well. Once you read the brief plot outline below, the whole thing sounds like a bad South Park episode. In fact, I’m sure I remember they did something about a hockey coach and some ill kids once… A bad deed on the part of a tough minor-league hockey player (Johnson) results in an unusual sentence: He must serve one week as a real-life tooth fairy. Johnson is the fairy. Helping him out are Ashley Judd, Julie Andrews, Billy Crystal, Brandon T. Jackson, Josh Emerson, Alex Ferris, Juno Ruddell, and Stephen Merchant.

I want to begin by telling you up front that what I am about to say may shock some of you. In fact, some of you may choose never to read my reviews again. Prepare yourselves, because I am about to make one bold statement… The Time Traveler’S Wife is one of the best love stories Ever told. There. Now, that wasn’t that bad, was it? With that said, I would liked to have seen a few better casting choices.

The film was based on Audrey Niffenegger’s novel of the same name, adapted for the screen by Bruce Joel Rubin (Ghost, Jacob’S Ladder) and directed by Robert Schwentke (Tattoo, Flight Plan). At one hour and 47 minutes in length, the film can feel a bit slow at times in the first two acts, but the pace of the third act certainly makes up for having patience. The...

Bruce Joel Rubin adapted the screenplay based on the novel written by Audrey Niffenegger. Clare (Rachel McAdams) has been in love with Henry (Eric Bana) her entire life. She believes they are destined to be together, even though she never knows when they will be separated: Henry is a time traveler--cursed with a rare genetic anomaly that causes him to live his life on a shifting timeline, skipping back and forth through the years with no control. Despite the fact that Henry's travels force them apart with no warning, and never knowing when they will be reunited, Clare desperately tries to build a life with her one true love...

During our rounds at Comic-Con 2009 we had the honor of catching up with director/actor Edward James Olmos to talk about the upcoming 2-hour TV event, Battlestar Galactica: The Plan, which airs this Fall on Sci-Fi.

Written by Jane Espenson and directed by Edward James Olmos, Battlestar Galactica: The Plan storyline begins before the attack on the 12 colonies and will show events mainly from the perspective of two Cylon agents.

stars Tricia Helfer, Edward James Olmos, Grace Park, Callum Keith Rennie, Alex Ferris, Dean Stockwell, Michael Trucco, Rekha Sharma, Kate Vernon, Michael Hogan, Aaron Douglas, Alisen Down, Maya Washington, Matthew Bennett and Colin Corrigan.

See the remarkable first trailer ftom New Line Cinema/Warner Bros. Pictures' "The Time Traveler's Wife," starring Rachel McAdams, Eric Bana, Ron Livingston, Brooklynn Proulx, Alex Ferris and Michelle Nolden. The romantic science fiction drama is directed by Robert Schwentke ("Flightplan," "Tatoo"). Bruce Joel Rubin adapts the screenplay based on the novel written by Audrey Niffenegger. Dede Gardner, Brad Pitt, Brad Grey and Nick Wechsler produce. The U.S. sees this one released on August 14th.

I had the privelege of attending a wonderful Emmy showcase event for Battlestar Galactica on Thursday night in Hollywood, where producers Ronald D. Moore, David Eick and stars Mary McConnell and Edward James Olmos talked about this riveting series, but they talked about much more than that. Olmos, who starred as Admiral William Adama on Battlestar Galactica, also directed the upcoming TV movie, Battlestar Galactica: The Plan, and he was certainly excited about the new TV movie.

"I gotta tell you, not to give anything away, it is exactly what you think it is," Olmos said. "You see the complete opposite of the first 281 days of what we went through, ... seen through the eyes of the Cylons, and it is breathtaking. It's fantastic. It's not fun, but I will say that you will sit there [gasping]."

"After you see The Plan, you will go back to see the series again," Olmos said.

It probably sounded like a swell idea in the pitch meeting: Robin Williams vs. an uncooperative RV. But this concept never translates into laughs in the belabored and repetitive "RV." Nevertheless, any Williams comedy will translate into a big opening weekend and perhaps a solid two- to three-week run with family audiences. However, older family members and admirers of director Barry Sonnenfeld might wonder at the nearly complete absence of comic ingenuity in a film from the man who directed "Get Shorty", "The Addams Family" and "Men in Black".

The biggest disappointment is the rigorously rote nature of the characters and story line in Geoff Rodkey's script: Workaholic dad, Williams' Bob Munro, and dysfunctional family take a reluctant vacation to Colorado in a recreational vehicle. Everything that can go wrong with an RV does. Yet despite these hardships, the family pulls together and rediscovers the meaning of being a family again. Golly.

This is comedy writing by check list: Brakes fail. Check. Dishes go flying. Check. Toilet backs up. Check. Raccoons invade the trailer. OK, maybe you anticipated a skunk or a snake, but you knew some animal would take up residence.

One possibly predictable but still refreshing "challenge" comes in the form of fellow RVers, the aggressively friendly Gornicke family, headed by Jeff Daniels and Tony-winning Kristin Chenoweth. They are superannuated hippies, who permanently reside in their RV and homeschool the kids. This gives a new meaning to the term "trailer trash," but hey, they liven things up whenever they appear. Trouble is, the Munro family keeps trying to ditch them.

The secret agenda behind the abrupt and unwelcome change in plans from a tropical vacation in Hawaii to the road trip from hell is the fact Bob is about to lose his job unless he comes up with a killer sales pitch for a meeting in Colorado. Which turns the film's hero into a wimp who can't tell his own family that his job and their financial security are on the line. This is one speed bump from which no movie can recover.

Williams looks unusually glum as if he were aware this is not going to be one of his better comedy outings. Typically, he does pull all sorts of rabbits -- raccoons? -- out of his hat. At one point, when his younger son is threatened by three trailer park toughs, he breaks into ghetto-perfect rap jive that scares them off. But how does that come from his character, an anal-retentive, middle-class white guy?

The rest of the cast is asked to hit the same notes relentlessly, but they do so with a fair amount of grace. Cheryl Hines, as Bob's wife, displays enough sympathy and charm that you wonder why Bob can't confide in her. Joanna "JoJo" Levesque and Josh Hutcherson create believable put-upon kids that have hit the rebellious stage of early life.

Daniels and Chenoweth are a hoot as well-adjusted parents who are a lot smarter than they let on. Hunter Parrish, Chloe Sonnenfeld and Alex Ferris make brief though solid impressions as their kids. All other characters are exaggerated for cheap laughs.

Mostly country music fills the background as the road movie takes us through postcard scenery in Alberta, Canada. Fred Murphy's lensing and Michael Bolton's design fit the film's production needs nicely.
