Ghosts of Girlfriends Past
The most amazing thing I can think of about Ghosts of Girlfriends Past is that its star Matthew McConaughey manages to keep his shirt on for pretty much the entire movie. Ghosts of Girlfriends Past is a retooling of Charles Dickens’s Christmas Carol, instead of being shown his miserly ways, the main character played by […]

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 […]

This indie comedy has a few really bright moments and is never dull, but fails to take full advantage of its interesting premise.
