Review: Red

Red makes DC Comics two for three this year at making fun action pictures come alive from their pages and neither of them included a character anywhere near being their A, or even B, tent pole characters. R.E.D.’s, Retired Extremely Dangerous, are ex-CIA operatives that are no longer operating in the field but are still […]

TV Review: Mad Men 4.12: Blowing Smoke

Ted Chaough must suffer! That is my most wishful goal of the season finale this coming Sunday after he ruined one of the best moments of the season, Don’s brilliant “Why I’m Quitting Tobacco” ad and the moments that followed.

Suggestion Box (Oct. 4 – 10)

This week’s Suggestion Box is short and sweet with only two trailers. With that said they are for two films that I am really looking forward to: 127 Hours and The Tempest. Movies: 127 Hours Full Length Trailer – Maybe there is a draft in my kitchen or it was the use of one of […]

Gaming Review – Halo: Reach

The scene opens on a shot with part of the void of space being filled by a planet. The composition of the frame brings a flash of a memory to mind, but joy quickly dissipates at the realization that the Battlestar Galactica and the ships it has kept safe is not coming in from the […]

Now Playing Review – Never Let Me Go

Never Let Me Go is the haunting film adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro’s novel of the same name, providing a story that blends great characters, romance, and elements of sci-fi that create a touching story for so many reasons.

Now Playing Review – Life As We Know It

Adding on to the recent films The Switch and Going the Distance comes Life As We Know It, a semi romantic comedy that deals with issues that are heightened real life experiences of child rearing and turbulent relationships, completely believable within the scope of the film, thus in the audiences mind. As many a pairing […]

TV Review: Mad Men 4.11: Chinese Wall

I am not going to lie, after one viewing of this week’s episode of Mad Men, Chinese Wall; I can’t help but think that this was one of my least favorite episodes of the show yet.

Suggestion Box (Sept. 27 – Oct. 3)

This week’s Suggestion Box has the trailer for Heartless, True Grit, Wild Target, and a second trailer for Paranormal Activity 2 and for Skyline. Also, we’ve got a trailer for the upcoming DLC for Read Dead Redemption (Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare). Clearly we are getting closer to Halloween with this selection.

Review: Let Me In

Let Me In is one of the most successful foreign film adaptations ever and it does that by pulling from both the source novel and the film to give itself enough of its own identity to forget about the original film, Let the Right One In, if you have seen it. Reviewing Matt Reeves’ film […]

Review: The Social Network

David Fincher’s latest is forever going to be known as “the Facebook Movie” but it will also be held up there with his finest works which is a filmography very few directors can touch. The Social Network is a look at the creation, rise, and legal woes of Mark Zuckerberg and his Facebook in a […]
