Review: The Damned United

By Leave a Comment

Soccer films have rarely fared well on the big screen.  Be they tales of rags-to-riches (Sean Bean vehicle When Saturday Comes) or given a WWII setting (Escape to Victory), something seems to be lost in translation when trying to show the beautiful game on film.  Even the faux-Hollywood gloss and carpet-bomb marketing campaign of the…

Review: Inglourious Basterds

By 3 Comments

8/10 Told in chapters/sub-genres, Quentin Tarantino’s latest love letter to the movies, his long awaited World War II flick, Inglourious Basterds, delivers the greatest war story ever told in the form of his first true epic. Whereas Kill Bill was a personal story stretched across an epic canvas, Inglourious Basterds is the first Tarantino epic,…

Public Enemies – Review

By 12 Comments

Rarely are movie-goers treated to a film that boasts a strong story and a strong cast from top to bottom. Even rarer still that they get to see two of the finest actors in recent memory doing their job at the top of their game. I got was exactly what I expected – a ton of fun, some subtle humor, charm, drama, action, and some of the finest acting I’ve had the pleasure of seeing on the big screen this year. Public Enemies is easily the best major motion picture release of the year.

Franklyn – DVD Re-View

By 2 Comments

Franklyn is a unique and compelling tale that tries to break through pre-established genre boundries. It takes risks. With a fresh look and a thought provoking story, Franklyn is a film that transcends boundries and demands that you think outside the box. A truly unique experience for sure. But this film is not for everyone.

Year One – Review

By 4 Comments

Year One is one of the very few films that I actually recognized the name of the director, Harold Ramis. In my mind Ramis is the Michael Bay of the comedy world. Ramis has worked on many classic films such as Animal House, Caddyshack, Groundhog Day, Vacation, and of course Ghostbusters.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen – Review

By 21 Comments

The Transformers are back on the big screen, with the autobots attempting to save Earth once again from the evil decepticons. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is sure to be this summer’s first big box office smash, and it looks to be a very exciting film. More metal on metal? More giant robots vs giant robots? Yes please!

The taking of Pelham 1 2 3 – Review

By 1 Comment

The taking of Pelham 123 is a remake of the 70’s action thriller The taking of Pelham One Two Three, and it stars John Travolta and Denzel Washington. Those two alone should be enough to draw people into the theaters, right? Instead of capitolizing on it’s potential, The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 just falls flat on it’s face.

Moon – Review

By 10 Comments

Really interesting and original science fiction movies are few and far between, which is sad because they can be so immensely entertaining. Moon, a new sci-fi mind-trip starring Sam Rockwell, has everything you need to make a good sci-fi film, and succeeds on nearly all levels.

The Hangover – Review

By 3 Comments

The Hangover is a rude, crude, disgusting and brilliant new comedy starring Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifanakis. Written by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, this well crafted comedy will leave you in tears from beginning to end.
