Movie Review: The Ides Of March
Two actors, two faces and a two sided story. I smell an Oscar nod for Gosling…I see audience rejection of the film.
Movie Review — Restless
It’s October. A time when Ghoulies, Ghosties and Long-Legged Beasties roam the earth. But if you start seeing the ghost of a World War II Japanese kamikaze fighter pilot, you’re probably Enoch Brae, the central character of Restless. And that’s not a bad place to be. Enoch is an odd kid. If your name is Enoch [...]
Movie Review — Real Steel
“Rock ‘em Sock ‘em Robots” get their day on the big screen in Real Steel, a movie that transcends the one-joke premise and is instead a heartwarming, fist-pumping mechanized fairy tale of a father and son coming together amid some of the baddest technology you’ll ever wish was really available. Not to bad for a [...]
It’s not easy being a 15-year-old virgin. At least not for Oliver Tate. The love of his life is a pyro that doesn’t seem to know he exists, his parents’ dimmed bedroom lights let him know exactly when they get busy, and the new neighbor used to be Oliver’s mom’s boyfriend. Ah, to be young [...]
I wanna hippopotamus for Christmas, only a hippopotamus will do…. And that’s what was playing in my head while I waited for the start of Mr. Popper’s Penguins. Always wanted a cool, amazing animal as a pet? Well, Mr. Popper’s got six penguins, and he’s turned his condo into a glorious penguin sanctuary. It’s every [...]
A great light has gone out in the universe…it’s the ones inside the offices of the production company that released this film.
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? “Leprechaun 5: In [...]
Not being a New Yorker, I always figured I wasn’t the kinda girl who would dig Woody Allen. There were a few movies I’d liked, like Shadows and Fog, Match Point and Purple Rose of Cairo (which this film resembles a bit in it’s fantasy aspects)…but for the most part he was an enigma. A [...]
After leaving the theaters on Tuesday and seeing what Spielberg and Abrams brought to he masses, all I had in my head was this cheesy quote. “Storytelling and Filmmaking together again!”. Yes I am aware of the bold statement, but nothing since the likes of The Goonies, Stand By Me, E.T. have we seen a [...]
The more things change, the more things stay the same; X-Men: First Class may be set in the 60’s, but it’s themes of war and prejudice, along with it’s call for tolerance, are still relevant today. What makes this movie more than just another comic book story is how they take these ideas and weave [...]
