After a long day of deliberation, members of the St. Louis Film Critics (including Kevin and myself from ReviewSTL), selected a number of films for our yearly awards. Topping the nominations at seven a piece were The King’s Speech, Inception, and Black Swan. Following closely with a number of nominations were The Social Network, The […]
The only thing I could say while watching this was, “Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow, oh wow…” It is now obvious that I’m a bit of a Mass Effect fanboy after playing through the first two games twice. I still can’t get myself to play through as a renegade, I guess I’m just too […]
Chris Rock is being touted by some in the media as a bit of a hero, after he came to the rescue of a pregnant woman at Neiman Marcus at the Garden State Plaza. The former standup comedian turned mega-movie star told the woman jokes to calm her after her water broke while Christmas shopping. […]
I love it when a trailer genuinely surprises me. Whereas the Green Lantern trailer was a disappointment, the Thor trailer looks ten times better than I expected. Early photos looked a bit cheesy, and the leaked footage from this year’s San Diego Comic Con didn’t really impress. It is amazing what higher quality, and a […]
The Chronicles of Narnia is yet another big budget fantasy series much like Twilight, Harry Potter, and Lord of the Rings. However, it doesn’t have the rabid fanbase of Twilight, the top notch British cast of Harry Potter, or the depth of Lord of the Rings. All of these show that it might be the […]
I’m still not sure how to feel about the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean film. I never actually saw the third film, because I was so disappointed with the second. The first film was possibly one of the best popcorn flicks of the past two decades, but they then mucked up the characters beyond belief […]
The disappointment is bound to continue. After a less than stellar effort in Revenge of the Fallen, Michael Bay serves us up a slightly boring piece of revisionist history in his latest Transformers saga. After a disappointing sequel, you would think the director would want to make up for it. However, it was only critically […]
There is a lot of talent in a little animated film. Blue Sky, best known for the Ice Age series, is branching out to a different form of talking animals with their next feature. Once again though, the lead character is on the verge of extinction, but for completely different circumstances. There are a few […]
I have to admit, despite not having any real starpower behind it. The marketing campaign behind I Am Number Four is working on me. The actors I do know, Dianna Agron, Timothy Olyphant, and Teresa Palmer have impressed me with sections of their previous work. Alex Pettyfer might look like he belongs on The OC, […]
So, here is the first trailer for Hugh Jackman’s Real Steel, and to be honest, I’m not that impressed. There is just something about robotic boxing that just doesn’t look that appealing. This is coming from a guy who is a sci-fi nerd, and if I got to see robots battle in real life I’d […]
