Youth in Revolt might look like another run of the mill Michael Cera movie, but in actuality it is one of his best acted and broadest range shown yet in a surprisingly fun and irreverent farce about fighting for the one you love. Nick Twisp is your average teenage boy, without a girl, enthralled with […]
Read more "Review: Youth in Revolt"Guy Ritchie teams up with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law to reboot the classic tale and the end result is an entertaining and well acted effort that fails to ever really be anything but pretty good; not that there is anything wrong with that. Instead of going straight into traditional origins and reboot territory, […]
Read more "Review: Sherlock Holmes"Leap Year is a conventional rom-com that makes all the prescribed moves and is entirely predictable; only its two likeable leads and excellent cinematography save it from being an absolute failure. Amy Adams and Matthew Goode are just to fine of actors to be in this trivial and run of the mill premise where the […]
Read more "Review: Leap Year"The Terminator series has come a long way with Terminator Salvation in terms of graphics, but the story fails to meet the standards set up by the prior films. In the year 2018, the machines still have the upper hand following their all out nuclear strike many years before on Judgment Day. Though forced to […]
Read more "Rental Review: Terminator Salvation"For a movie about flavored extract, Extract sure is bland. For the most part, Joel lives a pretty mediocre life. He lives comfortably in his nice house with a nice car in the driveway, but its hard to be content with this with an annoyingly outspoken neighbor and a wife that uses sweat pants as […]
Read more "Rental Review: Extract"I will admit it, I was one of those people who was more than skeptical about how much I was going to like this film after first seeing the trailer a while back. I just didn’t think I was going to relate to the plight of some blue, anorexic looking humanoids. And frankly, I was […]
Read more "Now Playing Review: Avatar"Guy Ritchie’s adaptation of the beloved Sherlock Holmes brings about an exciting perspective on what I assumed was only a droll, meticulous British detective. Then again, all I know of the character is what I can remember from watching PBS’s Wishbone as a child. Following the capture of the black magic practitioner to blame for […]
Read more "Now Playing Review – Sherlock Holmes"The special effects of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra may be worthy of applauds, but this is the only part of this film that can be given this compliment. Everything else, including the characters, story, and banter, feels like something an unimaginative little kid came up with on the fly while playing with the […]
Read more "Rental Review – G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra"Nine is Rob Marshall’s return to musicals and the result is a bit unexpected but full of quality performances and entertaining musical numbers that entertain nearly from start to finish. The film picks up ten days prior to the start date of Guido Contini’s latest and ninth film and the stars, the costumes, the sets […]
Read more "Review: Nine"A Single Man is a career defining performance from Colin Firth and one of the strongest, most confident, and beautiful directorial debuts I can recall from Tom Ford. The film’s theme touch on everything from loss, death, love, friendship, and purpose in life and never feels forced, always natural and honest discussions on the subjects. […]
