Sin Nombre
Director Cary Fukunaga rides its Sundance success into limited release and deserves the critical accolades it has been receiving since January; even if it is all a bit contrived at times. Casper is a mid level gang member of the Mara gang and he is recruiting the young Smiley to become part of his “brotherhood”. […]
Adventureland
This film has garnered an 8.5/10 between our two reviews. In 2007’s Superbad, director Greg Mottola hit box office gold with a coming of age story of two high school losers with foul mouths and a funny story. While Adventureland is another coming of age story, it doesn’t appear to have the same qualities to […]
Observe and Report
This has received a combined score of 8/10 from our two reviewers. Here is the first thing you need to know about Observe and Report, you WILL be offended. It isn’t an if, there is something in this movie that you will find offensive. Don’t let it turn you off, the movie is very self […]
Sunshine Cleaning
This indie comedy has a few really bright moments and is never dull, but fails to take full advantage of its interesting premise. But Sunshine Cleaning still manages to be an intriguing character study. Rose is a single mother living paycheck to paycheck, working for maid service company as she works toward getting her real […]
Duplicity
The latest from Toy Gilroy is not quite as good as his previous effort, but it is still a fun and fairly unconventional con game/spy/thriller that will have you scratching your head here and there as the plot unravels to the end. Ray Koval is former MI6, Claire Stenwick is former CIA, and after a […]
Fast and Furious
Taking place 10 years after “The Fast and the Furious,” the latest film in the franchise reunites original stars Vin Diesel and Paul Walker. In “Fast and Furious,” Dominic Toretto (Diesel) and girlfriend Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) are up to their usual hijinks. The film starts out with the couple, along with some new friends, hijacking […]
Monsters vs. Aliens 3D
After two reviews, this film has received an average score of 5/10 I was finally able to see “Monsters vs. Aliens” in all of its 3D glory – and I have to say that I was very impressed. Going into the film, the main thing that I took into consideration is that it was going […]
Miss March
I try to give every movie a fair shot when I go into the theater. In fact, some of my favorite movies have come out of me doing that. I go in expecting to not like it, and then poof two hours later I’m ready for the DVD release. Miss March unfortunately was not one […]
