From The Corner: Frozen (2010)

I'm not going to lie- this movie SOUNDED good and interesting, and I was intrigued to see how someone would handle a story with such a limited number of cast and locations. Joe, Dan and Dan's girlfriend, Parker are skiing and decided to bribe the chair lift operator to allow them one last run- despite warnings of a severe storm heading in. Due to a bad timing and miscommunication, the three wind up stranded on the chair lift halfwayup the mountain. The trio soon learn that freezing isn't the only way to die in the cold night air.. .

A pair of Scarlett Johansson's assets on display in new Under the Skin poster

I honestly couldn't think of a better headline than that. Sexist yes. Sue me. It's late. But this new poster for Jonathan Glazer 's sci-fi flick Under the Skin does show off Scarlett Johansson 's lovely legs. I know most of you thought boobs right off the bat. But no, it's her legs.

Maybe if I'm in the mood for some naked Scarlett Johannson . . .

Some other guy named Simon Duric directs. Duric has only directed a short film called Later, but he's been a storyboard artist on a number of high-profile projects like Sherlock Holmes and Prometheus. A movie is generally only as good as its story, and Watkins has co-scripted something different in terms of a creature feature. Check it out: Michael McKidd seems to have the perfect life a beautiful wife, two wonderful children, a high-powered job, all the trappings of success.   But, scratch the surface and things are not as they appear. His business nears bankruptcy and he has taken drastic measures to prevent anyone from finding out. With his life spiraling out of control, de...
