John Cusack’s in-spirit follow up to Grosse Pointe Blank is no where near as effective as that film, and while there are some winning moments, the film fails to work as a whole. Brand Hauser is a contract killer for the U.S. and finds himself working for Tamerlane on a political assassination job in Turaqistan […]
Read more "Review: War, Inc."Paradox’s are a bitch, and the glaring one in this quality made film, but utterly pointless one, make watching the film frustrating and pointless since none of what is happening would could have possibly happened in the first place. And to get technical for a moment people reference the predestination paradox when discussing this film, […]
Read more "Review: Timecrimes"Danny Boyle’s latest is a fast paced (mostly) look at life in the slums of India, and an engaging and interesting portrait of a young boy’s like and his story of survival and search for love. Jamal Malik (Dev Patel) is one question away form winning India’s version of ‘Who Wants to be a Millionaire” […]
Read more "Review: Slumdog Millionaire"Charlie Kaufman is back in his most ambitious, intriguing, bizarre, and out there script yet and at the helm he creates a thought provoking piece of work, that demands a second viewing. Caden Cotard (Philip Seymour Hoffman) is a successful play director, with a bit of a strained marriage to his wife Adele (Catherine Keener), […]
Read more "Review: Synecdoche, New York"The latest from Paul Schrader is an interesting, bizarre, and effective character study that fails to work as a whole or find a concise voice as a film. Adam (Jeff Goldblum) is a Holocaust survivor that is spending time in and out of a rehabilitation center in the Israeli desert, functioning high above everyone else, […]
Read more "Review: Adam Resurrected"Daniel Craig as Bond is back and he is delivering on the same level as Casino Royale in this dark, vengeful, and action packed investigation coming of age (as a spy) story. Now, fair warning to those that haven’t seen Casino Royale in a while, I highly recommend that you watch that movies shortly before […]
Read more "Review: Quantum of Solace"Barry Levinson’s latest is a look at Hollywood through the eyes of a big time producer who is dealing with crisis in all aspects of his life, and the result is a solid comedy that gives us a look into Hollywood behind the scenes. Based off screenwriter Art Linson’s own book, the film is a […]
Read more "Review: What Just Happened?"Mike Leigh’s latest follows the life and times of Poppy Cross, and the results are an occasionally funny but just as often annoying portrait of this woman’s life. Poppy (Sally Hawkins) is a super happy, manic, and positive out look of a woman who longs to help everyone like her primary school class she adores. […]
Read more "Review: Happy Go Lucky"Wong Kar Wai’s only martial arts film was recently given a face lift and a re-release with hopes of finding this visual and creative assault on the mind that will keep you engaged and intrigued by the complex characters thrown on the screen. Now first things first, this isn’t really a great martial arts film, […]
Read more "Review: Ashes of Time Redux"David Wain’s latest is a vast improvement from the hit or miss The Ten, but also doesn’t come close to the awesome amazingness of Wet Hot American Summer; though remains a solid comedy entry in its own right. Danny (Paul Rudd) and Wheeler (Seann William Scott) are co-workers who go around everyday giving presentations to […]
