Lost: Season 6 – Episode 6.8 – Recon – Review
Lost’s 9th hour was a Sawyer flash sideways episode and turned in some of the best material from either of the plot lines this season and sets up a couple final pieces before all hell is going to break loose; I am assuming after next weeks hotly anticipated Richard Alpert episode is when everyone’s plans […]
Greenberg
Noah Baumbach’s latest, Greenberg, is just as engaging of a film as his previous efforts and is an interesting dual character study of a couple of people who can’t quite figure out their lives. Roger is lost in life and he decides to try and sort it our by taking a break from life by […]
Remember Me – Movie Review
Robert Pattinson of Twilight fame tackles a more earthly romance in the new film Remember Me. He of the permanent bed-head plays Tyler Hawkins, a tormented, trust fund living, literature-loving, rebel without a comb. When Tyler and his best friend/roommate Aidan (Tate Ellington) get roughed up outside a bar by a gruff police officer (Chris […]
Green Zone – Movie Review
Director Paul Greengrass gives the Iraq War the “Bourne” treatment in the new film Green Zone. Reteamed with his Bourne star, Matt Damon plays U.S. Army chief warrant officer Roy Miller. Tasked with finding weapons of mass destruction, he’s becoming increasingly frustrated with repeatedly coming up empty. When his superiors begin to bristle at his […]
The Room – Movie Review
Most movies are bad. There. I’ve said it. There are so many movable parts, so many variables to the movie making process that, in all honesty, it’s amazing good movies ever get made at all. Beyond the obvious things like acting and writing there are so many other things that can go horribly wrong. Woody […]
The Room
“The Citizen Kane of bad movies.” This is how The Room is often described. It isn’t far off. It might actually be one of the most unintentionally funny films you will ever see in your life. Add in the fact that creator and star Tommy Wiseau put $7 million into the project, and you might […]
Our Family Wedding
This week I saw two romantic comedies, both of them were derivative, both of them had an impressive cast list, but only one of them was fun to watch. (Read our review of She’s Out of My League.) Unfortunately, Our Family Wedding was the loser of the draw, and the product of one of the […]
Green Zone
Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass have teamed up on an adaptation of Imperial Life in the Emerald City and the result is a decent political action hybrid that runs into some pretty big third act issues that really hurt the picture. The story follows Chief Miller a WMD team leader for the Army and is […]
Remember Me
Allen Coulter’s new family drama/romance works pretty well for the most part and while it does nothing terribly new for the genre it is a solid and entertaining entry that avoids cheesiness at almost every turn. The story’s protagonist is, Tyler, a 21 year old in a bit of a rut who doesn’t really care […]
