Review: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Review: I Want Someone To Eat Cheese With

Jeff Garlin writes, directs, and stars, in this subtle, sweet, and somewhat subversive comedy that finally dug its way out and into release, very limited, last year. (That sentence was ridiculous, I apologize) The film follows James Aaron, a forty something that still lives with his mom, to keep her company not because he can’t […]

Review: Redbelt

David Mamet’s latest is a crafty, quick paced, piece of cinema, constantly keeping you on your toes while successfully creating one of the best original heroes we have seen in a film in a while.

Review: The Forbidden Kingdom

The union of two of the Kung Fu masters of the last 20+ years is finally here, and even though I would have preferred a more contemporary film, this fantasy grounded adventure for sure at the very least entertains. We open the film with a strange fighter fighting off a horde of on slaughters above […]

Review: Smart People

This new dramedy from Noam Murro is a mixed bag in that it can meander at times, but is also genuinely hilarious more than it wallows. Lawrence Wetherhold (Dennis Quaid) is an English professor who has to be driven around for 6 months after possibly suffering a seizure. Enter Chuck (Thomas Haden Church), his scheming […]
