Film and Theater Reviews
Review: “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” or whatever it’s called
Autobots. Decepticons. Cybertron. Three words I hope to never hear or type again.
Have you ever been home on a rainy Sunday afternoon, flipped on the TV and randomly discovered a movie so good that you’re glad you were stuck on the couch for 2 hours? Submarine is this movie.
Movie Review: “X-Men: First Class” starring James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence
The real treat of the movie is watching McAvoy and Fassbender together. Both of them are so freakin good in their roles that their scenes together make up anything that the movie lacks.
Welcome to The Hangover 2. The Wolf Pack is back and this time they’re even more hungover!
The movie is about friendships and relationships and each character has the chance to add their own bit of realism to their part.
Review: ‘Thor’ And His Mighty Hammer Start Off The Summer With A Bang
A film like this lives and dies by Hemsworth’s performance and it not only lives, it soars.
Review: ‘Arthur’ starring Russell Brand, Helen Mirren and Jennifer Garner
Blurgh. Rent the Original.
I’ve never read the book Jane Eyre, and I’m betting I never will (I’m still trying to finish the final Harry Potter book). Thankfully, Director Cary Fukunaga has pretty much ensured that I’ll never need to crack open the classic book.
First of all, it’s a movie about aliens coming and destrying us. You’re not going in to the theater expecting to see Jane Eyre. Suspend some disbelief!
Free will? Fate? True love? These are all questions that are swirling about in The Adjustment Bureau.
Review: ‘Take Me Home Tonight’
Topher Grace takes on the 80′s and brings Anna Faris and Dan Fogler with him.
Imagine you’re married and your wife decides to give you a hall pass. One week off from marriage. You’re free to do anything you want!
Movie Review: No Strings Attached
No Strings Attached is great! From the opening summer camp scene where the two main characters meet to the end, this film is charming, hilarious, vulgar and at times, sad.
Movie Review: Barney’s Version
Based on the novel by Mordecai Richler, the movie follows the life of Barney Panofsky (Giamatti) as we watch him through 3 marriages, a popular TV show and a possible murder rap.
Sometimes I walk out of a movie not really knowing what to think. I mean I know whether I liked it or not but I don’t know whether I love it, you know?
Yes, I admit it: I have a man-crush on Colin Firth – acting wise, I mean. Have you ever seen him put in a bad performance?I haven’t and his work in The King’s Speech is no different.
Wow, this movie is bad. Like, “this shouldn’t suck because there’s so much great talent, but it does” bad.
Say what you will, but Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway have great chemistry together and in Love and Other Drugs, it’s on full display.
Movie Review: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
I was a bit hesitant before going to the theater because the first part of Deathly Hallows was all set-up to the second half of the book. Harry, Ron and Hermione spend most of the time hiding out in the woods as they do for most of the film but this is what makes the film so good.
It’s all Ethan Suplee’s fault.
Thanks to his character’s laziness, we have Denzel Washington and Chris Pine risking their lives to save a small Pennsylvania town from a speeding, Unstoppable train loaded with deadly chemicals.
Roger Michele directed one of my favorite movies, Notting Hill (yeah, I’m not afraind to admit that), so I was looking forward to his latest film, Morning Glory.
And this is where James Franco takes over the film. He’s excellent in the role. He’s on-screen by himself (save for a few hallucinations) and never once do you wish the film moved faster. He is perfect.
Robert Downey, Jr is Peter Highman, an architect stranded in Atlanta desperate to get back to his pregnant wife (Michelle Monaghan) in LA. He catches a ride with the also stranded Ethan (Zach Galifianakis) and the road trip from hell begins.
Based on the D.C. Comics graphic novels by Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner, RED is a completely entertaining action-comedy starring Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich and Helen Mirren.
Conviction tells the true story of Betty Anne Waters (Hilary Swank) and her brother Kenny (Sam Rockwell). When a diner waitress is found stabbed to death in her trailer home, Kenny – the local troublemaker – is charged with murder, convicted and sentenced to life in prison. Waters, a single mother, spends the next 18 [...]
