Film Review: Premium Rush

When I was little my sister and I spent hours and hours each week riding our bikes around the neighborhood, making up stories to build a world around the simple activity. They obviously weren’t the best stories, but we were kids; so what’s Premium Rush’s excuse?

TV Without Commercials Review: Boardwalk Empire 2.11

After last weeks ending, I didn’t think there was anything the writers of boardwalk could have done to match that intensity, but boy was I wrong. I love the way Agent Sebso has finally come back to haunt Nelson. He seemed to get carried away in his righteousness at the end of season one, yet […]

TV Without Commercials Review: Boardwalk Empire 2.10

When I first saw that the title of this episode was called Georgia Peaches, I was slightly confused. What could Georgia peaches have to do with Atlantic City, gangsters and liquor? Then it hit me.

TV Without Commercials Review: Boardwalk Empire 2.7

Review: Jonah Hex

The latest, and possibly most under the radar, comic book film this summer is the adaptation of Jonah Hex and the results are a mixed bag as the films focus seems to be in a lot of wrong places. Hex is a Confederate soldier of some rank but when he turns on his regiment and […]

Review: The Runaways

Floria Sigismondi’s The Runaways is a dark, messed up, and insane dive into the depravity and pitfalls of fame destruction of age film that yields three very good performances from, Michael Shannon, Kristen Stewart, and Dakota Fanning. Before the sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll the members of The Runaways were just young girls that […]

Review: Revolutionary Road

Sam Mendes’ latest is his darkest film yet, but it really gets you to think about ones own life as you can easily see both sides of the argument laid out by the terrific performances by Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio. April and Frank hit it off right from the start at a party. Frank […]
