Film Review: Bellflower

Bellflower is an impressive technical feat, made for only 17,000 dollars, with an interesting look that sadly burns almost its entire, well earned, good will by the end by going completely off the rails.

Film Review: 30 Minutes or Less

The last time I saw a film about bank robbing was when The Town was in theaters, and I don’t know about you but my self-emanating laugh track was not in danger of being worn out that day. 30 Minutes or Less goes for the apposing drama mask for its take on the heist film […]

Film Review: Fright Night (2011)

To be honest, I am not a horror movie expert, but I know a horror movie when I see one. To that I ask myself, why do multiple critics think that the 2004 cult classic Shaun of the Dead is scary? I’ve seen Shaun a lot, and I have never thought for one moment that […]

Film Review: Another Earth

Another Earth is low budget sci-fi that gives this, a bit twisted, look at guilt an interesting hook and philosophical grounding that works extremely well for the drama of the film.

Film Review: The Help

There is a short list of movie topics that have a tendency to make me a little hesitant to see them, including zero to hero sports movies, revolutionary apes (sorry Rise of the Planet of the Apes), bible huggers, and racism.

Film Review: The Change-Up

For the past few weeks I have agonizingly pouted over email after email announcing upcoming screenings that I could not make it to in my broken state, so by the time The Change-Up rolled around I was at my breaking point. With the giddiness of a child refusing to stop believing in Santa come Christmas […]

Film Review: Attack the Block

Joe Cornish makes his feature debut with Attack the Block, a fun, fast paced, creature feature that any fans of the genre should rush out to see.

Review: Winnie the Pooh

Winnie the Pooh is an incredibly sweet and charming reboot of the classic series that is full of some great songs, by the cast and She & Him, and some beautiful animation. This telling of Pooh is a throwback of sorts, aiming to recreate the look and feel of the original animated works by the […]

Review: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II

The Deathly Hallows: Part II is an exciting, heart pumping, and near perfect finale to the Harry Potter series. We last left our heroes as they escaped Malfoy Manor and our villain had acquired the Deathly Hallow, the Elder Wand. Harry, Hermione, and Ron pick right back up where they left off, on the trail […]
