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 [...]
Guy gets girl. Guy loses girl because he’s a zookeeper. Animals decide to help a brother out. How many times have we seen that story? Only this once, thank goodness. Zookeeper suffers from a serious case of Shot-It’s-Wad-itis; all of the good stuff is in the trailer. That’s right, everything worth seeing? You’ve seen already. [...]

Mom’s, Dad’s, teens, pre-teens, [...]
I had every intention of recapping Thursday night’s episode of NBC’s Parks and Recreation; alas, “94 Meetings” wasn’t much fun for me and so I didn’t care to write a column about how the rest of this season has been awesome. I would attribute most of Parks and Recreation’s awesome to two men, Nick Offerman and [...]
Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie. Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire. John Travolta in Hairspray. These are among some of Hollywood’s big name men to let their feminine sides shine through on screen by playing the role of women (granted, Hoffman and Williams were both men playing men playing women…) The next star to don a dress [...]
PHILIP BARRETT: Sometimes, one can expect too much out of a film. It’s not the fault of the film itself, but more on the audience and trailers. The Matrix sequels are the best, recent example of this as most were left generally disappointed. Time at this point has not been kind to either of them [...]
From the inventive mind of Judd Apatow is the latest creation, Funny People. The new dramedy centers around comedian George Simmons (Adam Sandler) who has a near death experience that, with the help of his newfound friend and comedian Ira Wright (Seth Rogen), sends him into a refreshed mindset of what things in life are [...]
