The year was 1987, and the cinema was graced with a fantastic weekend. Two new releases came out that weekend, The Living Daylights and “The Lost Boys.” It’s easy to get excited for a new James Bond film, and I am personally a fan of Timothy Dalton as Mr. Bond. I just watched “The Lost […]

Preview: “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides”

Jerry Bruckheimer has not had the most successful summer of his career. “Prince of Persia” was not the worst film I have seen so far, but it did not bring in much money either. “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” was also something of a disappointment. But I am sure he is not stressing too much because he […]

“X-Men: First Class” Set For 2011 Release Date

Posted: July 28, 2010 at 7:27 am   /   Local, Movie News

I seem to be switching sides frequently on my interest for “X-Men: First Class.” I am frankly not too excited, because “X-Men: The Last Stand” and “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” were not good. I am excited because Matthew Vaughn, director of “Kick-Ass” and “Layer Cake” is helming this one. I’m not excited because they gave a […]

“Spider-Man” Reboot: Andrew Garfield vs. Josh Hutcherson

Posted: July 28, 2010 at 7:08 am   /   Local, Movie News

I have mixed feelings about a full on reboot of the Spider-Man franchise. I like to see a different take on the characters with new actors and everything, but I was willing to give Sam Raimi one more shot after the abysmal “Spider-Man 3.” Plus, I liked Tobey Maguire in the role. But as we […]

First Impressions: Zack Snyder’s “Sucker Punch”

Posted: July 27, 2010 at 8:21 am   /   Film, Local

I never thought I would see the day where I was excited to see a movie that starred Vanessa Hudgens. But two things were evident when I finished watching this trailer: Zack Snyder, director, knows how to put together a trailer. The first theatrical trailer for 300 remains my favorite trailer of all time. The […]
