Film Review: The Counselor
The Counselor is the latest from Ridley Scott with an original script from Cormac McCarthy and the results are often terrible.

Week after week I apparently find ways to theme my rentals without realizing it beforehand. Scratch that, I totally did it on purpose, and you know it’s true cuz I said totally. A couple of weeks ago I went with creature features, and this week’s selection of The Nines and Being John Malkovich has me […]

I wouldn’t say that Bad Teacher lacks all traces of intelligence, but it seems unmotivated to better itself to get a higher passing grade.

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. […]

Nick Cassavetes latest adaptation is done well but strangely lacks any earned emotional punch and comes across as just expecting your emotion from the subject matter instead of working for it. Kate has leukemia and she isn’t winning the fight. Her sister Anna has been a great medical asset for her through the years, constantly […]
