…… O_O …… In order to sum up my thoughts on Black Swan you would have to determine what you could based on a blank expression that looked a little like that, mouth slightly more agape. That’s right, I really did just resort to an emoticon to review a film. Unsophisticated response? Maybe a little, […]
Read more "Now Playing Review – Black Swan"The Tourist takes its two super stars, Depp and Jolie, and uses them effectively to craft a somewhat odd amalgamation of genres that all feel a bit lite, yet still work. Jolie plays Elise, a Brit roaming Paris who is under surveillance constantly by the British governments with the hope that her wanted beau will […]
Read more "Review: The Tourist"The new Narnia has left the mouse house and landed at Fox (and in 3D) and the results are a clumsy adventure that takes more than a couple steps back from the very good Prince Caspian. Dropping the two older Pevensie siblings and replacing them with their annoying cousin (who’s name sounds like useless, which […]
Read more "Review: The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader"Black Swan is another fantastic entry into Darren Aronofsky’s filmography that is driven by a wonderful lead performance by Natalie Portman and could very well be my favorite film of the year when it is all said and done.

Read more "Review: Black Swan"Hearing the story of Aron Ralston may not be one of those memorable moments that you will remember for the rest of your life, as in the “Where were you when the Twin Towers fell?” sort of way, but I can definitely remember the shock with hints of nausea I felt when hearing that a […]

Having said that, there is still room for improvement in Tangled but as it stands it is still a very entertaining and attractive […]
Read more "Review: Tangled"Most little girls who are not outside playing in the dirt with the boys are busy fantasizing about growing up to be a princess, so the next logical step in that train of thought when Disney classics mix in is which Disney princess they would like to be. Some prefer a pumpkin carriage to a […]
Read more "Now Playing Review – Tangled"Love and Other Drugs is the latest from Ed Zwick and features a couple of great lead performances in a story that does a lot of things well but has a hard time finding a narrative through line. Zwick is a history buff and likes to blend fiction with facts and this is another example […]
Read more "Review: Love and Other Drugs"A few years back when the last Harry Potter book was released I went with my sister to pick up her reserved copy at Borders. Stepping hesitantly into the throngs of Potter devotees I picked a seemingly safe place away from the costumed clusters animatedly discussing their favorite memories from the series and what is […]
Read more "Now Playing – Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 definitely feels like a part one, but it is executed nearly perfectly and it sets the stage for The Deathly Hallows to easily be the best of the Potter films when it is all said and done. Picking up more or less right where the last film […]
