Eat Pray Love is a dull and poorly executed picture that meanders, is no where near as good as it thinks it is, and fails to engage or fill us with emotion almost every step of the way. Liz Gilbert isn’t happy in life and when she decides she can’t take it any more she […]
Edgar Wright’s Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is a kinetic, and often times perfect, adaptation of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s fantastic comic series and is a movie that is unlike almost anything you have ever seen. Scott Pilgrim is a nice guy, but he can be kind of a dick, and rather oblivious, but ultimately he […]
Sylvester Stallone’s The Expendables is a man on a mission, action all stars extravaganza being sold as an explosion a minute yarn. But if it wasn’t for a solid final 25 minutes or so of non-stop action then this film would have been a colossal failure of its potential. Now I hate to feel a […]
The first feature film from the brilliant British duo Stephen Merchant and Ricky Gervais is a bit more of a dramatic affair but still serves as an excellent, if a tad conventional, portrait of an era with their excellent blend of humor, sadness, and reality. The film follows three friends form a rundown section of […]
I think a better title for this episode would have been, “Don and Lane’s Excellent New Years Adventure.” That segment last night was hands down the funniest seven minutes or so of Mad Men in this viewer’s opinion and was a brilliant addition to an already terrific season of Mad Men. But we will get […]
The Other Guys is the latest from Adam McKay and Will Ferrell and it serves as a great send up of the buddy cop genre with a consistently funny pacing and many flashes of brilliance along the way. Allen Gamble and Terry Hoitz are not the guys, that title is held by Detectives Highsmith and […]
Step Up 3D is a clichéd narrative nightmare but when its focus is dance the film works pretty damn well. The film, oddly enough, is also a saving grace for the 3D medium after a series of mediocre post conversions that have enraged many avid filmgoers. The story for this installment of Step Up seems […]
Yahoo has just posted this quite cool and creative interactive trailer for the up coming Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (In theaters Aug 13th; that’s next Friday!). I have for one seen this film already and am a big fan and I think you will be too as long as you know what you are […]
Exit Through the Gift Shop is about as entertaining as a documentary can get. And while its subject matter, street art, is fascinating, the third act of this film will have you wondering if the wool is being pulled over your eyes; in a good way. The film is directed by famous street artist, Banksy, […]
Making my Best of List for 09 earlier this year I never properly reviewed A Prophet. So to build awareness of this excellent film’s release on DVD and Blu-Ray I will give it the proper review it deserves. Review: A Prophet A Prophet might be the best crime film of the last decade and is […]
