08 Pre-Summer Preview

A look at the movies I am looking forward to or that are on my radar in the up coming months. Without delay, let’s begin.

Review: Eastern Promises

David Cronenberg’s follow up to History of Violence also stars Viggo Mortensen and is just as good, if not better than, that excellent film from two years ago. The opening scenes set up the cruxes of the story, an ill advised hit as well as the birth of a baby girl and the death of […]

Review: Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story

The newest film out of the Apatow camp is by far the weakest, but still has some good laughs and an enjoyable turn by John C. Reilly as Dewey Cox. As a spoof movie, it is a fun romp, and has to be a million times better than the likes of Epic Movie or that […]

Review: Once

One of the top films of the year is this little seen masterpiece. Having seen it 3 times now does not take away from the excellence of this film and I urge to rush out and see this now.

Review: I Am Legend

Will Smith’s newest blockbuster works really well for about 75% of the time and the other 25% is just good. Robert Neville is the last human in NYC, is accompanied by his German Sheppard Sam as they hunt for food and go through their daily routine everyday during the daylight. At night they are forced […]

Review: Alien vs Predator: Requiem

A guilty pleasure film for sure, this follow up to the bad AVP from a couple of years ago is by no means a good movie in the traditional sense, but the parts that we are here to see, are done well and the film is at least entertaining if you know what your are […]

Review: Charlie Wilson’s War

Mike Nichols new film is a great piece of history through film with a story that few people probably have heard of or know much about in the first place. Tom Hanks stars as the title character; a congressman from a small district in Texas that you would think didn’t have much power, but has […]

Review: Romance & Cigarettes

The long delayed New York based musical by John Turturro finally gets to show its face, and sadly, outside of a few good laughs here and there this one is not a winner. The film has no direction at all for 2/3 of the film. It feels like a random splattering of scenes most of […]

The Hobbit w/Peter Jackson a reality!

Here is the press release and lets all be happy that this film, or films, as it will be two as they add material from the appendices for the LOTR characters who are not featured in the novel The Hobbit, is one step closer to being made with the right people involved! Very cool stuff, […]
