Movie Review: ‘Man On A Ledge’ Starring Sam Worthington, Elizabeth Banks, Ed Harris

“How far would you go to take down a man who took everything from you?” That is the question that Nick Cassidy (Sam Worthington) asks in Man On A Ledge, the story of an ex-cop convicted of stealing a $40 million dollar diamond from millionaire businessman David Englander (Ed Harris).  With nothing to lose, he climbs [...]

Movie Review: ‘Extremely Loud’ Is Pretty Quiet

I’ve had a hard time writing my review of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close – or even beginning it. I worked on a draft, realized it was all wrong, started another draft, pitched that, repeated five more times. I kept feeling like something was missing, but from me, not from the movie. And then I [...]

Movie Review: ‘Haywire’ Starring Gina Carano, Ewan McGregor, Michael Douglas and Michael Fassbender

I felt as if my friend was going to punch me in the face after leaving Haywire, and I responded with, “Meh”. It wasn’t as if it is a bad film, it’s just a number of hobbled spy film cliches, and instead of a dashing or dangerous male lead, it has a lethal female lead. [...]

Movie Review: ‘Shame’ Starring Michael Fassbender, Carey Mulligan

Shame is English artist and director Steve McQueen’s second film, once again painting his picture with Michael Fassbender as his subject. McQueen tells the story of a man who is lost, something most of us can relate to, using sex addiction as the catalyst to propel his story. The constant need for pleasure turns into [...]

Steve Kelley Reviews ‘Red Tails’ Starring Cuba Gooding Jr., Terrence Howard

When I think of George Lucas, I tend to think of one film franchise. Jokes aside, George Lucas is one of the biggest names in cinema history, having brought us two extraordinarily popular film franchises, first Star Wars, followed by Indiana Jones. Recently, however, his reputation has taken a tremendous beating following the disappointing Star [...]

Movies to Look Forward to in January

January is not exactly known to be a great month for films.  Studios dump a lot of junk this month.  All of the talk is on awards season so a lot of these films fly under the radar.  But some of these little titles might be diamonds in the rough.  Let’s not forget that “Hostel” [...]

    Previewing the 2012 St. Louis Cardinals – First Base

    For the first time since 2003, the St. Louis Cardinals will open the season with a first baseman not named Albert Pujols. I’ll let that sink in. Stings the nostrils. I’ve already shared my thoughts on Albert and his defection to the Angels, so I won’t delve back into that. Re-hashing the past isn’t what ReviewSTL [...]

    Previewing the 2012 St. Louis Cardinals – Catchers

    Can you really believe it’s been three months since the finish to one of the most incredible baseball seasons in history? Actually, I can. Because it’s been three incredibly long months. This winter has been nothing short of a paradigm shift for the St. Louis Cardinals. Withing the course of a couple months, the Cardinals [...]

    The St. Louis Blues at the 49/82 point of the Season

    Yeah…sorry about the headline. I guess I should have perhaps posted eight games ago. Damn my laziness. Anyways. The Blues head into the All-Star break with a snazzy 29-13-7, good for 65 points, the third-highest point total in the league (although, thanks to the fact that the top team in each division makes the playoffs, [...]

    It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these because our beloved television shows have been on their traditional holiday hiatuses but now they are back so that means I’m back and the coming weeks should be overly entertaining as Idol is back and there are more than a few new shows that I [...]
