Movie Review — Restless
It’s October. A time when Ghoulies, Ghosties and Long-Legged Beasties roam the earth.

Not to bad for a [...]

Too busy last week to go through all the movie news? Here’s a look at what you missed! * Box office? No surprise that Transformers took the top spot again this weekend, with Horrible Bosses in second and (egads) Zookeeper in 3rd. Cars 2 skidded in at 4th this past weekend, and Bad Teacher is [...]
Monday Rewind is on hiatus today. Sure, I could tell you that Larry Crowne got his ass handed to him by Transformers, Cars 2 and Bad Teacher this weekend, barely getting one over on Monte Carlo. But that’s just depressing. (Why the hatin’ on Larry? Look up “character based story”, people. Then get back to [...]
Sometimes hitting the multiplex just isn’t in the cards. That’s when cable, the web and streaming step in to provide an instant movie fix. But how to separate the wheat from the chaff? I’m happy to help; every week I’ll pick a flick and see if it’s worth your time. This week? “Exam” How far [...]

Meanwhile, Magneto and Charles Xavier wrapped this up nicely; X-Men: First Class nab the second spot, with The Hangover Part II and Kung Fu Panda 2 right behind. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides hangs on to the final spot [...]
