I never thought Step Up 3D would renew my interest in 3D at the cinema. While I was never a very negative detractor of the format, my patience has been tiring with this unfortunate run of mediocre post-conversions that we have been subjected to since Avatar. But short term memory deprived detractors rejoice, Step Up […]
The Kids Are All Right is a unique and funny dramedy that is driven by its excellent acting on all fronts. Following a pair of siblings born from the same sperm donor but were each birthed by their separate moms, we pick up just after the oldest, Joni, has turned 18 and can legally request […]
Its Christmas time at SCDP and the office party keeps getting smaller. Having added no new accounts in the last month, the penny pinching is getting tighter as Lane has reduced the party to “a bottle of gin and a log of Velveeta.” Don is also not enjoying his first Christmas apart from the family […]
Now this sounds cool. J.J. Abrams is set to produce an adaptation of, Boilerplate: History’s Mechanical Marvel, a graphic novel that follows the worlds first robot during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Heatvision‘s article sums up the premise nicely. “Boilerplate” purports to tell the story of the world’s first robot, who, in the […]
“Who is Don Draper?” A man who won’t meddle with the meddlers apparently, as the Season 4 premiere of “Mad Men” showed us. The show picks up almost a year after the coup of Sterling Cooper, and the formation of the new Sterling Cooper Draper & Price. With their swanky new table-less offices, full of […]
The Double Feature will take a look at a new release title in theaters (well, most of the time) and pair it with a film you can create a double feature with after you get back to the comfort of your living room. Sometimes it will be obvious, other times not so much but I […]
Salt is an interesting film that twists your loyalties and features a great action turn by Angelina Jolie and while the film doesn’t knock it out of the park it is a pretty good grounding for the film’s larger goal. Evelyn Salt is a spy for the CIA who is winding down and about to […]
So obviously Lauren and I ((Check out our reviews first; Lauren’s and Zac’s)) think Inception is a pretty swell movie. Lauren has picked it as her best picture favorite and it seems to be a lock Top 5 for me as well. But we both agree that the final shot of the film is easily the biggest […]
Inception, the latest from Christopher Nolan, is nothing short of phenomenal and is a prime example of why we go to the movies; to have an experience almost none of us could ever even imagine. I am not going to even try to explain the plot as it is both complex and better experienced as […]
Despicable Me is a bland effort around an interesting idea that barely salvages itself from travesty with a pretty decent finale. The film follows Gru, a villain of the world who hasn’t had a note worthy diabolical scheme in some time. Added to this he has been recently upstaged by a young and upcoming villain, […]
