Leap Year – Movie Review
As Leap Year begins, Anna (Amy Adams) is attempting to purchase a hotly sought after condo with Jeremy (Adam Scott), her cardiologist boyfriend of four years. Jeremy is the sort of pleasing but uninspiring man that women in romantic comedies typically find themselves entangled with just before meeting someone new and exciting. (Smartly parodied in […]
Youth in Revolt – Movie Review
Michael Cera returns as Nick Twisp in the new movie Youth In Revolt. The film, based on C. D. Payne’s 1993 cult novel of the same name, has been in development hell for over a decade. (MTV tried to turn the book into a television show in 1998 and, subsequently, held the rights for many […]
The Girlfriend Experience
Steven Soderbergh’s latest small budget “experimental” film is a triumph in both story telling and originality while successfully taking us into a world few of us understand while pairing it with a theme we can all relate to with the timely issue surrounding the downturn in the economy. First off, for being such a low […]
Youth in Revolt
Youth in Revolt might look like another run of the mill Michael Cera movie, but in actuality it is one of his best acted and broadest range shown yet in a surprisingly fun and irreverent farce about fighting for the one you love. Nick Twisp is your average teenage boy, without a girl, enthralled with […]
Leap Year
“Leap Year” is the result of a formula that we have seen much too often, lacking the originality or even chemistry to produce a successful romantic comedy that audiences would want to watch again. In the movie, Anna (Amy Adams) stages wealthy New York apartments when they are put on the market. She has a […]
2010 Star Wars Adidas Shoes = Awesome!
Sometimes my geekiness gets the best of me, and this is one of those times. Adidas is releasing a full line of Star Wars based shoes. Similar to how Marc Ecko released a Star Wars clothing line a couple years ago. The goal is trendy shoes that are based on the iconic series.
The Young Victoria
The Young Victoria, while full of history and the lineage of the British Monarchy, is an interesting film which can capture the attention of even the less knowledgeable of the history behind it. While it may be slow at first, introducing the family and setting up the plot, it becomes quite the opposite as it […]
It’s Complicated
Nancy Meyers is the ultimate director for family/romantic comedies preferably starring a well respected aging actress (such as Diane Keaton and Meryl Streep). It’s Complicated is yet another one of her ensemble cast films which tells the story from the point of view of an aging single woman. Sure, you’ve heard the story before but […]
Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Sqeakquel – Movie Review
There are certain questions that baffle mankind. Is there a God? Why do you bad things happen to good people? And, in 2007, another was added to this age-old list: Why was Alvin & The Chipmunks a hit? It was a dreary, humorless affair; part of Hollywood’s unending attempts to strip-mine its past…even the parts […]
Sherlock Holmes – Movie Review
If you’re a Sherlock Holmes purist, then perhaps Sherlock Holmes isn’t for you. Robert Downey Jr. stars as the famous detective with Jude Law in the role of his faithful sidekick Watson. Directed by Guy Ritchie, Holmes has been updated for the 21st century (though he still thankfully resides firmly in the 19th century). Holmes […]
