Now Playing Review – Sherlock Holmes

Guy Ritchie’s adaptation of the beloved Sherlock Holmes brings about an exciting perspective on what I assumed was only a droll, meticulous British detective. Then again, all I know of the character is what I can remember from watching PBS’s Wishbone as a child. Following the capture of the black magic practitioner to blame for […]

Rental Review – G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra

The special effects of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra may be worthy of applauds, but this is the only part of this film that can be given this compliment. Everything else, including the characters, story, and banter, feels like something an unimaginative little kid came up with on the fly while playing with the […]

When Introductions Are Necessary

I know what you’re thinking. Who is that awesome person that is best friends with Wall-E? Here’s a little bit about me: I am very much a product of the entertainment world. I was a Disney kid that learned as much from PBS shows as I did in the classroom. My biggest fear stems from […]

Inception Teaser I Was Talking About

http://movies.apple.com/movies/wb/inception/inception-tlr2_720p.mov Hit the link and put it on your calendar. This trailer is just so crazy, and I have no idea what is going on, I can’t help but be enthralled with the amazing imagery unfolding on the screen. The cast is great, the director as good, and I think we have our highest grossing […]

Suggestion Box (Dec. 21 – 27)

Inception Trailer – A longer trailer for this film was shown before Sherlock Holmes. Though it is safe to say that I am still lost as to what this movie is actually about and the extent to which they mean “your mind is the scene of the crime,” I am no less excited for it. […]

Review: Nine

Nine is Rob Marshall’s return to musicals and the result is a bit unexpected but full of quality performances and entertaining musical numbers that entertain nearly from start to finish. The film picks up ten days prior to the start date of Guido Contini’s latest and ninth film and the stars, the costumes, the sets […]

Review: A Single Man

A Single Man is a career defining performance from Colin Firth and one of the strongest, most confident, and beautiful directorial debuts I can recall from Tom Ford. The film’s theme touch on everything from loss, death, love, friendship, and purpose in life and never feels forced, always natural and honest discussions on the subjects. […]

Suggestion Box (Dec. 14 – Dec. 20)

Alice in Wonderland Trailer – Well it’s not quite what I expected, but that should be expected from Tim Burton. Check it out here. Iron Man 2 Trailer – So what happens when a superhero reveals himself to the world? Check it out here. Robin Hood Trailer – He may not be an animated fox, […]

Rental Review – Carriers

Carriers may veer from the fast-passed, zombie-filled plot line I wrongfully assumed was coming after first seeing the trailer (I repeat, there are no zombies), which it is all the better for in the end. By doing so, it becomes a heart wrenching film that makes the viewer question what they may be willing to […]

Review: Avatar

James Cameron’s Avatar is finally here and not only does it deliver the visuals effects we were promised, which are quite possibly the best ever put on film, but the story is engaging and entertaining, if familiar, with a third act that must be seen to believe. In Avatar, James Cameron has literally created an […]
