*This week exclusive footage of the much-anticipated sci-fi thriller “Elysium” was shown in New York at Sony’s headquarters in their screening room.

This week Jamie Foxx and director Roland Emmerich were in New York City at the Regal Cinemas to launch the trailer for “White House Down” and give the press and fans a first look at some film footage. In addition to being on hand to talk about the movie Foxx, as always, brought the jokes [...]
*The Energizer Bunny had nothing over Gerard Butler when he sat down to talk with The Film Strip about his new enthralling, engrossing thriller “Olympus Has Fallen.” Rightly so, Butler was extremely hyped about this particular project for not only its entertainment value but because he is one of the producers. His enthusiasm was such [...]
*It is truly encouraging to know that one of best films to open this year was “Broken City,” written by black writer Brian Tucker and now the engrossing, disturbing thriller “Stoker” was penned by Ted Foulke.

*Viola Davis brings a new meaning to the term “caregiver” in “Beautiful Creatures.” “Beautiful Creature” Davis, who played a maid in “The Help,” took on the role of Amma in “Beautiful Creatures” because the character was empowered. “This is 2013 and I think that it’s time enough for Black women being maids,” Davis says. “I [...]

But she’s the same affable and charming individual I interviewed the first time a couple of years ago for “Take Shelter.” This week she was at The Crosby Hotel in New York to talk about her latest movie, “Mama.” The scary supernatural film is a [...]
*If there is one truth voiced by the controversial director Quentin Tarantino, it is the fact that there are many, many stories to be told and he has taken that challenge many times.

*At one time Chris Tucker was one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood, making $25,000,000 in 2007 for “Rush Hour 3.” Since that movie, not much has been heard from Tucker until now. Tucker fans can see him this Friday in “Silver Linings Playbook” and catch up on what he’s doing here at EURweb. [...]
*As the North American release date for “Skyfall” draws nears, it is quite interesting that Daniel Craig is being hailed as the “best Bond ever” and even one of the world’s most influential men. But back in 2008 when being interviewed for “Quantum of Solace,” Craig was still being disdainfully referred to as the “blond [...]
*“Flight” was one of the highest points at the New York Film Festival and was the closing film.
