The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is a beautiful looking film with a really intriguing story, but unfortunately doesn’t answer all of the questions I wish it had. Looks like I am going to just have to use my imagination to fill in the blanks (See what I did there? “Imagination”? That’s right, I went there…) […]
Read more "Rental Review – The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus"I am out of town and in a wedding so I am pretty darn busy so look for reviews later this weekend or early next week for these films, but in short they are both worth your time if you are interested, and if you are doubting MacGruber give the brilliant silliness a try.
Read more "Shrek and MacGruber Reviews Coming Soon"Tony Stark is back in Iron Man 2, bringing with him some variations on his high tech business suit, new enemies, new allies, and that same, overly confident, “winning” personality (the sarcasm is only halfhearted because it’s hard not to love him). Between the first film and now, Tony Stark boasts that he has fulfilled […]
Read more "Now Playing Review – Iron Man 2"Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe reteam yet again for a new spin on the Robin Hood, a grounded origin story, and while I enjoyed much of the film there is a lot of things you catch yourself going; huh?. We all know the story of Robin Hood, right? Well Scott and Crowe take us on […]
Read more "Review: Robin Hood (2010)"Babies is an engaging, cute, and informative documentary that is able to tell the story of growing up through pure imagery and capturing the marvel of the growth of a baby into a child.

Read more "Review: Babies"Summer is here, as is our first sequel of the summer in Iron Man 2 and the results are an entertaining and solid follow up to the widely lauded original, but I can’t quite put my finger on how it stacks up to its predecessor. The conundrum I have with the film is the tone […]
Read more "Review: Iron Man 2"City Island fills its world with a couple of tad too clichéd characters and quite the contrived plot but a great turn by Andy Garcia and plenty of humor that works make it an entering family drama. The Rizzo’s are a traditional Brooklyn family, loud, fighting, and everyone is a tad dysfunctional. Whether they are […]
Read more "Review: City Island"The remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street isn’t particularly scary or tense, definitely not original, and almost completely absent of character depth and plot; but it looks pretty good, doesn’t dilly dally , and gets a fun (outside a couple of eye rolling one liners) turn by Jackie Earl Haley as Krueger. The film […]
Read more "Review: A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)"This Swedish adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is an affective crime thriller that works well enough as a film but has some question marks as an adaptation. Mikael Blomkvist is a minor celebrity reporter who’s image and magazine, Millennium, is dragged through the mud when he is sued and convicted of libel […]
Read more "Review: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"If I have learned anything from all the years of loving superheroes, I know this: it is pretty stupid to even consider emulating your favorite caped crusader. Well, good thing there are certain individuals who ignore their brain’s hazard signs, because it sure makes for a fun and highly entertaining movie. In Kick-Ass (sorry mom), […]
