Now Playing Review – Megamind

On Earth he will be […]

Review: Conviction

Conviction takes a fairly remarkable true story and makes it incredibly bland and familiar, only shining when Sam Rockwell strolls onto the screen. The story follows Betty Anne Waters, a small town girl who has a strong bond with her brother, Kenny. Kenny has been in trouble with the law time and time again and […]

Now Playing Review – Conviction

Of the two recent films with stories revolving around the justice system, Conviction manages to do what Stone is unable to by creating a compelling film that draws the audience into the lives of the characters, played by actors that are able to shine in their roles. Conviction tells the story of the relationship between […]

Now Playing Review – Stone

With Robert De Niro and Edward Norton’s names resting comfortably atop the title of the film on the poster one would think that nothing could go wrong in Stone. Turns out choice acting doesn’t always make perfection. Instead the film still manages to sink like a stone. De Niro plays Jack Mabry, a parole officer […]

Review: Hereafter

Clint Eastwood’s latest bests his last couple efforts but for every thing I like about Hereafter there is almost always something that really grates me the wrong way. The film follows three thread lines of different people that have had a recent connection with death and/or the “hereafter.” One is a French reporter who has […]

Review: jackass 3D

Reviewing jackass 3D is an easy task. You can’t really say anything about it as it will spoil the surprise so you know your review will be short. It’s easy to tell anyone that hasn’t enjoyed the show before that nothing will change here and if you loved it before so will you love this […]

Now Playing Review – Jackass 3D

Johnny Knoxville and his team of pain seeking, poop joke “professionals” are back with a whole new group of ridiculous stunts not for the faint of heart, and this time it’s in 3D! I’m sure that most of you don’t really need a refresher on what this film is about, and the rest that don’t […]

Review: Red

Red makes DC Comics two for three this year at making fun action pictures come alive from their pages and neither of them included a character anywhere near being their A, or even B, tent pole characters. R.E.D.’s, Retired Extremely Dangerous, are ex-CIA operatives that are no longer operating in the field but are still […]

Now Playing Review – Never Let Me Go

Never Let Me Go is the haunting film adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro’s novel of the same name, providing a story that blends great characters, romance, and elements of sci-fi that create a touching story for so many reasons. Too bad I just can’t mention most of them because any hint in the wrong direction will […]

Now Playing Review – Life As We Know It

Adding on to the recent films The Switch and Going the Distance comes Life As We Know It, a semi romantic comedy that deals with issues that are heightened real life experiences of child rearing and turbulent relationships, completely believable within the scope of the film, thus in the audiences mind. As many a pairing […]
