J. Edgar | featured news

Adam Sandler's got a winning formula -- lowbrow yuks plus sentimentality equals box office gold -- but critics say Jack and Jill may test the patience of even the most loyal of Sandman acolytes. Tarsem Singh certainly has a knack for eye-popping images, but critics say the problem with Immortals is that its attention to blood-soaked visual detail always trumps character development and storytelling. J. Edgar purports to explore the professional and personal life of influential (many would say too influential) FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, but critics say Clint Eastwood's admittedly handsome biopic is ultimately too vague a portrait of its controversial subject.

“We must never forget our history,” Leonardo DiCaprio warns in the brand new trailer for J. Edgar. Conveniently, this narrative demand means that you should probably see the very biographical drama from director Clint Eastwood that this trailer advertises. Take a look at DiCaprio as FBI director J. Edgar Hoover below in the film’s first trailer.
