Review: Public Enemies

Michael Mann is back with a period biopic that chronicles the life of John Dillinger in his glory days as a criminal and the results are superb technically but it is missing that special something to make it an absolutely amazing film. Now, what is that special something? I don’t know. But as we pick […]

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 […]

Updated: Why You Shouldn’t Think Bale is off his Rocker

Talent is abundant with the leads of Russell Crowe and Christian Bale, staring […]

The Dark Knight Trailer

This is the greatest thing since sliced bread for some, so here is the link! Looks solid, and Ledger looks pretty good. His voice is unrecognizable and if I didn’t know it was him, I might not be able to easily guess. They are selling this movie on the Joker and this is just a […]

Review: I’m Not There

The new film by Todd Haynes is as about as unique and as ambitious as one can get. Based off the songs, stories and life of Bob Dylan, six different actors play different parts of Dylan’s psyche, and they are all inter cut and loosely assembled to form somewhat of a narrative that is kind […]
