This addition to director Roland Emmerich’s ode to destruction and the end of the world is fun if you switch off your brain and stare at the pretty pictures, but don’t expect anything of substance. 2012 takes its inspiration from the belief that the world will come to an end on Dec. 21, 2012, which […]
Read more "Now Playing Review – 2012"Richard Curtis’ silly, random, and plot-less ode to rock n’ roll, comedy easily overcomes any of its own short comings by having a knock out cast and a number of good laughs along the way. Back in the sixties when British rock was at an all time high, the British government didn’t allow the music […]
Read more "Review: Pirate Radio (The Boat That Rocked)"Roland Emmerich’s latest is a good fun premise and starts off as an entertaining little disaster movie quickly dives into head scratching plot holes and absurdity that doesn’t make sense at any turn. (Spoilers throughout, sorry they must be discussed) The plot of the film revolves around the supposed end of the world predicted in […]
Read more "Review: 2012"Anne Fontaine enlists Audrey Tautou to star in this solid, if run of the mill, biopic that doesn’t do a whole lot that is interesting or different but has great performances from all three of its leads and is a quite remarkable story surrounding the rise of Coco Chanel.

Jenny is a seventeen year old school girl in 1960’s England and is set on getting into Oxford for seemingly […]
Read more "Review: An Education"Grant Heslov’s feature debut is an inspired, weird, odd, and fun tale that has some wonderful origins that far surpass an aimless plot that occupies the other half of the film. The plot surrounds a journalist, Bob Wilton, who is looking to maybe win his ex back by going to Iraq during the early stages […]
Read more "Review: The Men Who Stare at Goats"Robert Zemeckis’ third foray into the 3-D motion capture world is a retelling of the classic A Christmas Carol and the results are a beautiful and well executed version of the classic tale that could easily become many peoples “go to” version of the fateful night of Ebenezer Scrooge. The tale of Scrooge doesn’t really […]
Read more "Review: A Christmas Carol"When it comes to aliens, extra-terrestrials, life out there, or whatever you want to call it, I am a firm believer and for anyone that likes that kind of stuff The Fourth Kind is right up your alley.

Read more "Review: The Fourth Kind"If you cannot see the greatness of Zombieland, then you are as dead as the majority of the population of this film.
