Noah Baumbach’s follow up to 2005’s Squid and the Whale continues with that films dysfunctional family theme and it works just as splendidly for Margot as it did with fore mentioned film. Baumbach’s writing is just stellar with his off-beat sense of humor and a knack at finding hilarity in the awkwardness and uncomfortable settings […]

Read more "08 Pre-Summer Preview"David Cronenberg’s follow up to History of Violence also stars Viggo Mortensen and is just as good, if not better than, that excellent film from two years ago. The opening scenes set up the cruxes of the story, an ill advised hit as well as the birth of a baby girl and the death of […]
Read more "Review: Eastern Promises"The newest film out of the Apatow camp is by far the weakest, but still has some good laughs and an enjoyable turn by John C. Reilly as Dewey Cox. As a spoof movie, it is a fun romp, and has to be a million times better than the likes of Epic Movie or that […]
Read more "Review: Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story"One of the top films of the year is this little seen masterpiece. Having seen it 3 times now does not take away from the excellence of this film and I urge to rush out and see this now.
Read more "Review: Once"Will Smith’s newest blockbuster works really well for about 75% of the time and the other 25% is just good. Robert Neville is the last human in NYC, is accompanied by his German Sheppard Sam as they hunt for food and go through their daily routine everyday during the daylight. At night they are forced […]
Read more "Review: I Am Legend"A guilty pleasure film for sure, this follow up to the bad AVP from a couple of years ago is by no means a good movie in the traditional sense, but the parts that we are here to see, are done well and the film is at least entertaining if you know what your are […]
Read more "Review: Alien vs Predator: Requiem"Mike Nichols new film is a great piece of history through film with a story that few people probably have heard of or know much about in the first place. Tom Hanks stars as the title character; a congressman from a small district in Texas that you would think didn’t have much power, but has […]
Read more "Review: Charlie Wilson’s War"The long delayed New York based musical by John Turturro finally gets to show its face, and sadly, outside of a few good laughs here and there this one is not a winner. The film has no direction at all for 2/3 of the film. It feels like a random splattering of scenes most of […]
Read more "Review: Romance & Cigarettes"Here is the press release and lets all be happy that this film, or films, as it will be two as they add material from the appendices for the LOTR characters who are not featured in the novel The Hobbit, is one step closer to being made with the right people involved! Very cool stuff, […]
