Film Review: Kingsman: The Golden Circle

Kingsman: The Golden Circle does a pretty good job of moving our cast of characters along (when it’s not killing them) and keeps up the laughs, but the pacing and action seemed off.

Film Review: Kingsman: The Secret Service

With how ridiculous Kingsman: The Secret Service is I feel like I shouldn’t have liked it even though I was pretty excited going in. How could I not be after those previews? But still, it was setting itself up to crash hard, right next to the burning wreckage of Jupiter Ascending. Thankfully Kingsman doesn’t disappoint, […]

Film Review: Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is the English language debut for Tomas Alfredson and the result is a marvelously acted and meticulously directed and plotted spy film that will reward those who give themselves over to the plot as it unfolds its twists and turns.

Review: The King’s Speech

The King’s Speech is a fantastic retelling of King George VI over coming his speech impediment and his rise to the throne that is funny, sharp, and interesting every step of the way. Prince Albert was always a well respected leader and Duke in England and among the family but the rise of the wireless […]

For Your Renting Pleasure

This week we’ve got one good and a whole bunch of bad (at least in my opinion), with Dorian Gray, The Joneses, The Killers, and Lie to Me: Season 1. Rent: Lie to Me: Season One Now he may be no House, but Cal Lightman is another great character on TV that is easy to […]

That’s right, my write-up for rentals has changed yet again. This time around (and hopefully I will stick to it this time) I will write up little blurbs about the movies I have seen in the past week on Fridays, giving you suggestions for what to pick up and what to avoid when considering what […]

A Single Man – Finally Out On Blu-Ray and DVD

Hey there all, one of the best movies of last year, #4 by my books, is finally out on home video to rent or own and it should not be missed. A Single Man is a beautiful and wonderfully acted tale about love and loss at what it can do to a person, driving them […]

Review: A Single Man

A Single Man is a career defining performance from Colin Firth and one of the strongest, most confident, and beautiful directorial debuts I can recall from Tom Ford. The film’s theme touch on everything from loss, death, love, friendship, and purpose in life and never feels forced, always natural and honest discussions on the subjects. […]

Review: A Christmas Carol

Robert Zemeckis’ third foray into the 3-D motion capture world is a retelling of the classic A Christmas Carol and the results are a beautiful and well executed version of the classic tale that could easily become many peoples “go to” version of the fateful night of Ebenezer Scrooge. The tale of Scrooge doesn’t really […]
