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 [...]
With Tangled, Disney returns to its roots with a story of a traditional princess, a reluctant hero, and a wicked witch and although many are tired of this old formula, if anyone can do it right it’s Disney.

Animal Kingdom is basically your typical crime drama. A newcomer comes into the “family” and is forced to respond – accept or reject what those around him are doing. On the surface this is exactly what David Michôd’s crime film is, but at the same time it is a gross understatement. Animal Kingdom is an excellent crime drama that stays within its genre, but tells its story very well.
The newest trailer for “Despicable Me” shows Steve Carrell as Gru, an eccentric villain who plots to steal the moon.
What can be said really about Our Family Wedding that its previews don’t already cheerfully display? One more in a long line of nuptial nightmares where two diverse families spar with one another, OFW at least presents the context a little differently; the bride’s family is Mexican American and the groom’s African American. America Ferrera(Ugly [...]
I think Manoel de Oliveira might just be my new hero. The Portuguese director turned 101 on Friday, but age is definitely not slowing him down. Instead, the director is trucking along with his newest film, The Strange Case of Angelica. Man, I hope that if I manage to live that long that I can [...]

You do it by crafting a masterpiece on family dynamics that should draw everyone but teenage boys and young adult males. Based on Jodi Picoult’s novel by the same name, My Sister’s Keeper takes you into the family life [...]
