Movie and Theatre Reviews

Movie Review: ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’

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.

Movie Review: ‘Unstoppable’

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.

Movie Review: ‘Morning Glory’

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.

Movie Review: ‘127 Hours’

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.

Movie Review: ‘Due Date’

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.

Movie Review: ‘RED’

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.

Movie Review: ‘Conviction’

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

Movie Review: ‘Let Me In’

Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Road) and Chloe Moretz (Kick-Ass) are both wonderful. Their scenes together are touching, real and the heart of the film. These are two kids who have found what they are missing in each other.

Movie Review: ‘The Social Network’

The opening scene of The Social Network starts off mid-conversation with Erica (Rooney Mara) trying to dig into the brain of Mark Zuckerberk (Eisenberg).

As you can probably guess, it doesn’t go well.

Movie Review: ‘Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps’

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps Director: Oliver Stone Cast: Michael Douglas, Shia LaBeouf, Josh Brolin, Carey Mulligan, Susan Sarandon, Frank Langella The Story: When Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) is released from jail, he sets out to repair his damaged relationship with daughter, Winnie (Carey Mulligan). He forms an alliance with

Movie Review: ‘I’m Still Here’

As I was watching I’m Still Here, the Casey Affleck directed documentary about Joaquin Phoenix’s attempt to ditch his acting career to begin a hip-hop career, I was excited to see where this was going to take me.

Book Review: The Savvy Actor Career Manual

The Savvy Actor Career Manual bills itself as ‘The Most Comprehensive Actor’s Business Guide Ever’ and while that’s a pretty big claim, it gets pretty close.

Review: ‘Scott Pilgrim vs. The World’

Michael Cera again plays Michael Cera, but if you’re successful at something, why rock the boat? And you’re going to love the rest of the cast, especially Kieran Culkin; he’s always got something quick and funny to say. Winstead is pretty perfect as the unattainable girl and Mark Webber, Alison Pill and Johnny Simmons are hilarious as the band.
