Tyler Perry filming in Decatur, residents claim to have seen his movies

Atlanta filmmaker Tyler Perry shut down Decatur's The Grange Public House for two days to shoot "Why Did I Get Married Too" yesterday and today.

The frickin’ bean counters in Hollywood are loving Decatur. We had “H2″ and “Zombieland” and “The Blind Side” and now Tyler Perry.

Fox Theatre finally welcomes something awesome for film fans

I’ve had mixed feelings about the Fox Theatre since I arrived in Atlanta in September. I drive past it frequently on Peachtree Street on the way to assignments or friends’ places, and it’s a pretty gorgeous building. It’s clearly old. It’s clearly a landmark. It clearly stands for something.

CLASSIC REVIEW: ‘Bonnie and Clyde’

Part of a continuous series of classic film reviews from some of the most eloquent, hilarious film critics from yesterday and today. That sounds really official. It’s really just self-indulgent.

I’m not a huge “Bonnie and Clyde” fan. There’s certainly some cool stuff in it. The way director Arthur Penn shoots flashbacks. Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty’s acting. The New Wave storytelling. (Francois Truffaut helped write the script.) Lots of good stuff. Regardless, I’ve always felt I was born two decades too late to truly appreciate “Bonnie and Clyde.” When it came out, everyone marveled at the casual violence — something Penn didn’t resist. It’s remarkably bloody for 1967. It was also a controversial movie when it was released — so controversial that Warner Bros. offered then-first-time producer Beatty 40 percent of the movie’s gross rather than pay him a producer’s fee.

TRAILER REVIEW: ‘The Time Traveler’s Wife’ or I probably won’t fight the urge to see this

I haven’t read “The Time Traveler’s Wife,” but I’m pretty sure my ex-roommate has, and I’m pretty sure she was near tears reading it one day… or she was telling me about how she kept crying reading it… or something like that. Point is, I’m pretty sure she liked it. And this other girl told me the same thing. And another one. And another.

TRAILER REVIEW: ’2012′ or Roland Emmerich tops himself, which I would have thought impossible

Roland Emmerich. Most people don’t know the name.
