Review: Adam Resurrected

The latest from Paul Schrader is an interesting, bizarre, and effective character study that fails to work as a whole or find a concise voice as a film. Adam (Jeff Goldblum) is a Holocaust survivor that is spending time in and out of a rehabilitation center in the Israeli desert, functioning high above everyone else, […]

Review: Quantum of Solace

Daniel Craig as Bond is back and he is delivering on the same level as Casino Royale in this dark, vengeful, and action packed investigation coming of age (as a spy) story. Now, fair warning to those that haven’t seen Casino Royale in a while, I highly recommend that you watch that movies shortly before […]

Review: What Just Happened?

Barry Levinson’s latest is a look at Hollywood through the eyes of a big time producer who is dealing with crisis in all aspects of his life, and the result is a solid comedy that gives us a look into Hollywood behind the scenes. Based off screenwriter Art Linson’s own book, the film is a […]

Now first things first, this isn’t really a great martial arts film, […]

Review: Role Models

David Wain’s latest is a vast improvement from the hit or miss The Ten, but also doesn’t come close to the awesome amazingness of Wet Hot American Summer; though remains a solid comedy entry in its own right. Danny (Paul Rudd) and Wheeler (Seann William Scott) are co-workers who go around everyday giving presentations to […]

Review: RocknRolla

Guy Ritchie’s return to form in RocknRolla is a crazy, fun, and always cool look at crime in London, and while it might seem like re-tread territory to some, it is so damn entertaining that one should ask, why should we care? To begin to explain this convoluted and twisting plot from the get go […]
