Invictus

Posted: December 11, 2009 at 12:01 am   /   Featured, Local, Movie Reviews

Clint Eastwood’s latest is an unoriginal and uninspired affair, that while holding a fine performance from Morgan Freeman and some rewarding moments, is too flawed in too many areas to really excel. The story revolves around the work of Nelson Mandela from the end of South Africa’s apartheid and through the first year or so […]

Last Chance to buy tickets to ‘Star Wars in Concert’ for St. Louis 12/10!

Posted: December 9, 2009 at 5:49 pm   /   Concerts, Local

Star Wars will forever hold a special place in my heart. It was the first film I ever saw that made me truly love cinema. If it weren’t for those films I would probably not have gone on to watch Kurosawa films, spaghetti westerns, etc. One of the things that set Star Wars apart from […]

‘The Sorcerer’s Apprentice’ HD Trailer Starring Nicolas Cage and Jay Baruchel

Posted: December 9, 2009 at 5:35 pm   /   Local, Movie News

The beginning of this trailer looks so much like the first trailer for Percy Jackson, that I was almost convinced it was going the same way. Luckily it then brought in Nicolas Cage, and pretty much dashed any hope I had of liking this. I think it’s been already established on this site that I […]

New Tron Legacy Poster and Image

I can’t believe we still have to wait another year for this film. It is cruel that a teaser has been out for a few months now, and we still have a year wait. Hopefully they will continue to sneak out new material throughout the course of the next year to sate everyone’s appetite for […]

Thirst

Posted: December 8, 2009 at 7:19 pm   /   Local, Movie Reviews

Chan-wook Park’s entry into the vampire genre is one of the fresher and more interesting entries into the genre yet is a bit uneven to be an absolute success. Following Sang-hyun, a young and giving priest who does nothing but good for his community secretly doubts the failing world he lives in.  Making the almost […]

‘Red Dawn’ remake to be like ‘Call of Duty’?

Posted: December 8, 2009 at 1:19 pm   /   Local, Movie News, Videogames

Sounds like a cool concept. I was kind of wondering what they were going to do with it this time around. There is no Cold War going on, but there is some pretty interesting turmoil in our foreign affairs. Although, the concept seems even more far fetched than the original. From THR.com’s Risky Business blog: […]

From Variety.com: Frank Langella has been set to star with Liam Neeson, January Jones and Diane Kruger in […]

Posted: December 8, 2009 at 12:49 pm   /   Book Reviews, Local, Movie News

I’m sure the wait is killing many of you. It is hard to believe it has been six years since the last Tolkien film. I had fully expected The Hobbit to be rolling into theaters by this time. Although lawsuits and busy directors have set it back. So, unfortunately we have another couple years to […]
