Noah Baumbach’s latest, Greenberg, is just as engaging of a film as his previous efforts and is an interesting dual character study of a couple of people who can’t quite figure out their lives.
Roger is lost in life and he decides to try and sort it our by taking a break from life by moving [...]
“The Citizen Kane of bad movies.” This is how The Room is often described. It isn’t far off. It might actually be one of the most unintentionally funny films you will ever see in your life. Add in the fact that creator and star Tommy Wiseau put $7 million into the project, and you might [...]
This week I saw two romantic comedies, both of them were derivative, both of them had an impressive cast list, but only one of them was fun to watch. (Read our review of She’s Out of My League.) Unfortunately, Our Family Wedding was the loser of the draw, and the product of one of the [...]
Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass have teamed up on an adaptation of Imperial Life in the Emerald City and the result is a decent political action hybrid that runs into some pretty big third act issues that really hurt the picture.
The story follows Chief Miller a WMD team leader for the Army and is coming [...]
Allen Coulter’s new family drama/romance works pretty well for the most part and while it does nothing terribly new for the genre it is a solid and entertaining entry that avoids cheesiness at almost every turn.
The story’s protagonist is, Tyler, a 21 year old in a bit of a rut who doesn’t really care about [...]

Brooklyn’s Finest is a film that has a great amount of potential, an all-star cast, and a director that we know can pull off a great movie. Unfortunately none of that matters when combined with terrible storytelling, absurd pacing, and about 30 minutes of shots that are utterly and incomprehensibly useless.
‘Cop Dramas’ are a popular [...]
It is hard to separate Roman Polanski the film director, and Roman Polanski the man of scandal. I want to make it clear first, that I am reviewing one of his movies, and I am not condoning any of his actions. I had many reservations going into to this film due to Mr. Polanski’s crimes, [...]
Tim Burton and Johnny Depp have re-teamed once again. This time they tackle an adaptation of one of Lewis Carroll’s most famous novels, “Alice In Wonderland.”
I first must tell you some of the 3D effects are great while others are lacking in the modern 3D era. Some of these effects are really messy. [...]
I walked into the theater for The Crazies saying, “Oh here we go, yet another stupid horror remake.” I then remember thinking to myself while about halfway through the film, “Is this thing scaring me? Am I actually having a good time?” The Crazies is one of the few horror movies over the past year [...]
