Review: Taking of Pelham 1 2 3

Tony Scott’s latest with frequent collaborator Denzel Washington is a mediocre affair that is poorly written and can’t even muster much style out of Scott either. Walter Garber is introduced to us as an everyday transit authority civil servant that mans and maintains the New York City subway traffic so that it flows with ease […]

Review: Land of the Lost

Brad Silberling’s latest adaptation is a silly, funny, and fun adventure tale that uses all of its assets to great effect, from the actors, the camp silliness of the original show, and the tongue in cheek fun of the premise. Dr. Rick Marshall believes in quantum paleontology, time travel, and parallel universes. Upon writing his […]

Review: The Hangover

Todd Phillips returns to form after a series of floundering pics with this bachelor party gone bad comedy that keeps the jokes coming and rarely misses a beat from start to finish. Doug is getting married and the male celebration commences with his son to be brother in law Alan, and best friends Stu and […]

Review: Up

Pete Docter and company have made yet another masterpiece in the Pixar line up and while I’m not quite ready to anoint it with Wall-e and The Incredibles as my favorite, it is definitely in that just behind second tier of their work with a chance to maybe sneak its way up there after repeat […]

Re-Post-Review: The Brothers Bloom

I saw this movie last October and I stand by my opinion from then, and infact, I liked it even more the second time around. Rian Johnson is back with another solid entry in his sophomore debut, which is full of humor, style, and great work by everyone involved, all mixed with a story that […]

Review: Drag Me To Hell

Sam Raimi’s return to the “horror” genre is a neither scary, nor humorous, and has zero entertainment value what so ever and is easily one of the worst films I have ever seen. Christine is a young bank employee looking to move up her station in life. She has a boyfriend who loves her, but […]

Review: The Limits of Control

The latest from Jim Jarmusch is an odd and interesting picture that looks fantastic, has some nice moments, but leaves one scratching their head almost as much as they are enjoying the picture. The film follows and unnamed man who is “on the job” but we are never really led on to what that job […]

Review: Dance Flick

The latest spoof flick from the Wayans has a success ratio of about 40/60 when it comes to the jokes, but with poor leads and zero story nothing else gives the story a reason to watch a film that will make you laugh less then half the time. Megan is a Julliard wannabe that wasn’t […]

Review: Terminator Salvation

McG’s entry into the Terminator franchise is an action packed spectacle with paper thin characters and story, so depending on your tastes you might get a lot or nothing out of the picture. The film opens in 2003 with a guilt filled inmate donating his body to the Cyberdyne company in telling him that he […]

Review: Angels and Demons

Ron Howard and Tom Hank’s team up for a second tale in the world of Dan Brown’s Robert Langdon and the results exceed that of the Da Vinci Code, and is a solid picture on its own right in the end. The CERN particle acceleration research center is in the business of colliding atoms in […]
