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 [...]
You hear that sound? The one echoing all across the internet this morning? That’s the less than joyful noise of a dead horse being thoroughly flogged. Looks like horror filmmaker Wes Craven will be returning to direct the fourth installment of his popular (in the 90s) horror franchise, Scream. With Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox and David Arquette [...]
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a terrifically thrilling and agonizingly taut mystery epic; it creates an arcane hedge maze of corrupt industrial legacies and dark family secrets and populates that maze with a pair of most extraordinary protagonists.

Speaking as someone who actively avoids most women-in-peril horror pics, I was relieved to find that this Korean offering manages to unhinge and electrify its audience without resorting to loathsome or deviant imagery. Recently William Monahan and Leonardo DiCaprio [...]
Main Feature (1H 58M 37S) I have seen this film quite a few times and each time I am left with a different overall opinion. I am always left feeling impressed with Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter but that I prefer the more openly psychotic portrayal from Brian Cox in Manhunter. Jodie Foster, fresh from [...]
When you first saw the trailer for John Avnet’s introspective buddy cop film Righteous Kill, did you honestly hope for fantastic dialogue, an award-winning plot, and heart-pounding action scenes? Probably not, and for that reason alone it had almost no chance of failing. It successfully delivers exactly what it promises – a movie starring De [...]
Plot Synopsis: FBI agent Jennifer Marsh is tasked with hunting down a serial killer who posts images of his victims on the Internet. As time runs out the cat and mouse chase becomes more personal. Personally I am a huge fan of Diane Lane, and not just due to her being a hottie!!! Looking forward [...]
