Flashback Movie Review: The Shadow (1994)
In my opinion, the 1994 movie “The Shadow” starring Alec Baldwin is horribly underrated. Take into account that I never read any pulps or heard any of the radio serials so I don’t know if the movie stayed true to the source material, but I think it is a very fun film. Well for those […]
David Schwimmer Directs “Trust” Starring Clive Owen
David Schwimmer is most well-known for his role as Ross on “Friends”, but he recently has tried his hand in directing. His first film was not exactly successful. Run Fatboy Run was not loved by critics or audiences receiving mediocre reviews and only about $5 million in its theatrical run. I personally enjoyed the film […]
First Look at “Battle: Los Angeles”
District 9 was one of my favorite films of last year. One of my favorite parts about the film was how you really didn’t know that much about the story going into it. The marketing team on the film did a great job. It seemed that both critics and the general population loved it as […]
First Impressions: “Deadpool” starring Ryan Reynolds
I had a lot of problems with X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I don’t want to get into them all, but I will tell you my biggest problem: Deadpool. I thought they cast the role perfectly with Ryan Reynolds. He can pull off the action and the comedy needed for the role. The film even featured some […]
Tuesday DVD / Blu-ray Releases – Kick-Ass, The Ghost Writer, and More
This is a great week in DVD releases so let’s just get right into the picks that I want to spotlight. Kick-Ass had very high expectations from me. While it didn’t surpass them, it certainly met them pretty well. I never read the comics that this film is based on, but from what I understand […]
“Footloose” Opened at the Muny in Forest Park Last Night
Last night, St. Louis theater fans were in for a treat. The week long run of Footloose began yesterday, August 2nd, and marked the first night that this show has been performed on the Muny stage. Life in Bomont is quiet and predictable, until the arrival of Ren, the bad boy from the Big City. […]
The Hidden Gem – “Anastasia”
This week’s film that is featured will forever be ingrained in my memory forever. First, I love the film, and second, for the story I’m about to tell you. When I was in fourth grade, I was unpopular (which isn’t really a surprise since I was a movie nerd then). I was sitting at the […]
Coen Brothers Remake “True Grit” For December Release
Joel and Ethan Coen have a pretty impressive filmography. Every new film they make seems to immediately get Oscar buzz now a days, and their next film, “True Grit,” is no exception. “True Grit” is no stranger to the Oscars. In 1969, the book was adapted into a movie starring John Wayne. Wayne won both […]
Did You Know? – “Pirates of the Carribean”
The new photos released this past week for “Pirate of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” got me thinking about the first time I saw the first ‘Pirates’ film in the series. I was 15 at the time and did not have the internet at my house, so I didn’t keep up with movie news nearly […]
