David Cronenberg’s follow up to History of Violence also stars Viggo Mortensen and is just as good, if not better than, that excellent film from two years ago. The opening scenes set up the cruxes of the story, an ill advised hit as well as the birth of a baby girl and the death of […]
Read more "Review: Eastern Promises"The newest film out of the Apatow camp is by far the weakest, but still has some good laughs and an enjoyable turn by John C. Reilly as Dewey Cox. As a spoof movie, it is a fun romp, and has to be a million times better than the likes of Epic Movie or that […]
Read more "Review: Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story"One of the top films of the year is this little seen masterpiece. Having seen it 3 times now does not take away from the excellence of this film and I urge to rush out and see this now.
Read more "Review: Once"Will Smith’s newest blockbuster works really well for about 75% of the time and the other 25% is just good. Robert Neville is the last human in NYC, is accompanied by his German Sheppard Sam as they hunt for food and go through their daily routine everyday during the daylight. At night they are forced […]
Read more "Review: I Am Legend"A guilty pleasure film for sure, this follow up to the bad AVP from a couple of years ago is by no means a good movie in the traditional sense, but the parts that we are here to see, are done well and the film is at least entertaining if you know what your are […]
Read more "Review: Alien vs Predator: Requiem"Mike Nichols new film is a great piece of history through film with a story that few people probably have heard of or know much about in the first place. Tom Hanks stars as the title character; a congressman from a small district in Texas that you would think didn’t have much power, but has […]
Read more "Review: Charlie Wilson’s War"The long delayed New York based musical by John Turturro finally gets to show its face, and sadly, outside of a few good laughs here and there this one is not a winner. The film has no direction at all for 2/3 of the film. It feels like a random splattering of scenes most of […]
Read more "Review: Romance & Cigarettes"The feature length finale to one of the funniest television shows ever is a very well done piece but can be extremely sad and depressing at times for some of the characters we have grown to love. Now, that is not to say that there aren’t moments of hilarity as well, there are some amazing […]
Read more "Review: “Extras” The Extra Special Series Finale"At World’s End is the solid, but a bit underwhelming, conclusion to the Pirates trilogy. Everyone returns, plus a couple of new faces, to finish the battle for the high seas with amazing special effects and a convoluted plot. World’s End opens with a ridiculous mass hanging scene that sets the wheels in motion for […]
Read more "Review: Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End"This period drama and Oscar hopeful delivers on multiple levels, at varying times, but meanders occasionally leaving us a bit unfocused at times. Now, I will say I do want to see it again as the theater environment I saw it in was anything but ideal, not to mention it is hard to focus when […]
