Carriers may veer from the fast-passed, zombie-filled plot line I wrongfully assumed was coming after first seeing the trailer (I repeat, there are no zombies), which it is all the better for in the end. By doing so, it becomes a heart wrenching film that makes the viewer question what they may be willing to […]
Read more "Rental Review – Carriers"James Cameron’s Avatar is finally here and not only does it deliver the visuals effects we were promised, which are quite possibly the best ever put on film, but the story is engaging and entertaining, if familiar, with a third act that must be seen to believe. In Avatar, James Cameron has literally created an […]
Read more "Review: Avatar"Up in the Air is a painfully honest film that not only looks into the lives of our three main leads but will cause a number of viewers to reflect back on their own in these troubling times. Jason Reitman adapts the novel by Walter Kim into a funny and sad tale that takes us […]
Read more "Review: Up in the Air"Clint Eastwood’s latest is an unoriginal and uninspired affair, that while holding a fine performance from Morgan Freeman and some rewarding moments, is too flawed in too many areas to really excel. The story revolves around the work of Nelson Mandela from the end of South Africa’s apartheid and through the first year or so […]
Read more "Review: Invictus"My willingness to watch predictably horrible horror films has struck again. I am ashamed… Lucy Liu has a problem. The most obvious of which is that she agreed to star in this film. Okay, let me start over… Lucy Liu’s character, Sadie Blake, has a problem. For starters, she is an investigative journalist, and curiosity […]
Read more "Rental Review – Rise: Blood Hunter"The Princess and the Frog isn’t a return to the brilliant early 90’s heyday of Disney Animation, but it is for sure a huge step in the right direction. Twisting the classic tale of The Frog Princess on its head this version of the classic fairytale has the “princess” turn into a frog when she […]
Read more "Review: The Princess and the Frog"Chan-wook Park’s entry into the vampire genre is one of the fresher and more interesting entries into the genre yet is a bit uneven to be an absolute success. Following Sang-hyun, a young and giving priest who does nothing but good for his community secretly doubts the failing world he lives in. Making the almost […]
Read more "Review: Thirst"Up proves itself to be another hit for Disney-Pixar, to the enjoyment of children of all ages. Towards the latter part of Carl Fredricksen’s life he decides to take a very unconventional trip to Paradise Falls, South America in order to fulfill a promise he made to his late wife. However, this sentimental trip inside […]
Read more "Rental Review – Up"Even with director Catherine Hardwicke’s take on bringing the first book of this series to screen, Chris Weitz fails to do little more than use her vision as a guidebook on how to direct The Twilight Saga: New Moon, and therefore, recreates a lot of the problems that plagued the first film while simply trying […]
Read more "Now Playing Review – The Twilight Saga: New Moon"Everybody’s Fine is an interesting look at family life for a widower but lacks any real plot or enlightening meaning to really make us admire it beyond its performances. Kirk Jones’ film is a remake of an Italian film of the same name and stars Robert De Niro as said widower, Frank, who decides to […]
