Review: The Twilight Saga: New Moon

The Twilight Saga returns with a new director, a new set of monsters, and a New Moon, but the film feels rather rehashed and far to similar to previous film instead this time it is girl meets wolf; compare to girl meets vampire. Everything starts off alright, in fact it was making me feel quite […]

Review: The Blind Side

The Blind Side is exactly what it is selling itself as, a heartfelt and emotionally inspiring story that avoids sap and stereotypes for the most part to create a film that deserves our emotional response. Following the high school years of Michael Oher an at risk student who gets a second lease on life when […]

Review: Bright Star

The new Jane Campion film is a period love story where the two lovers are destined to never be together and while it can be a bit slow and overly dramatic at times the three main actors are in top form and are worth the price of admission. Following the love affair of Fanny Brawne […]

Review: Assassination of a High School President

Assassination of a High School President has gone through a long process to get to the masses, a Sundance 08 film that received a decent amount of praise and deemed marketable has finally hit DVD almost two years later and I don’t know why it took so long. The film follows a sophomore student, Bobby […]

Now Playing Review – 2012

This addition to director Roland Emmerich’s ode to destruction and the end of the world is fun if you switch off your brain and stare at the pretty pictures, but don’t expect anything of substance. 2012 takes its inspiration from the belief that the world will come to an end on Dec. 21, 2012, which […]

Review: Pirate Radio (The Boat That Rocked)

Richard Curtis’ silly, random, and plot-less ode to rock n’ roll, comedy easily overcomes any of its own short comings by having a knock out cast and a number of good laughs along the way. Back in the sixties when British rock was at an all time high, the British government didn’t allow the music […]

Review: 2012

Roland Emmerich’s latest is a good fun premise and starts off as an entertaining little disaster movie quickly dives into head scratching plot holes and absurdity that doesn’t make sense at any turn. (Spoilers throughout, sorry they must be discussed) The plot of the film revolves around the supposed end of the world predicted in […]

Review: Coco Before Chanel

Anne Fontaine enlists Audrey Tautou to star in this solid, if run of the mill, biopic that doesn’t do a whole lot that is interesting or different but has great performances from all three of its leads and is a quite remarkable story surrounding the rise of Coco Chanel. Starting off as a singer at […]

Now Playing Review – Paranormal Activity

Paranormal Activity may not be the scariest movie ever, but it will haunt you long after the final scene ends (and in large part because of it). In hopes of figuring out what has been going bump in the night, Micah (Micah Sloat) decides to use a video camera to catch these random occurrences, which […]
