Throwback Thursday Volume 2 – Bel Biv Devoe
I checked what was next on the list of number one albums only to find out it was a greatest hits album. While greatest hits albums are nice to have, I feel that they should be exempt from lists because I see them as a cheat. What I mean is the band/artist just took their […]
Lost: Season 6 – Episode 6.7 “Dr. Linus” (Review)
The latest Lost is our first non-Oceanic patron flash sideways episode, this time focusing on one of my favorites Benjamin Linus. Ben Linus in the sideways world is a History teacher, at the school Locke gets a job at as we saw a few episodes back, but this isn’t a Ben and Locke episode. No, […]
Ghost Writer – Movie Review
I doubt there are very many fans of Roman Polanski the man, but as a film director there are many. It’s easy to forget, amongst his extradition hearings and house arrest, that he’s made some amazing films such as Chinatown, Rosemary’s Baby and The Pianist. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to watch one of his films without […]
Brooklyn’s Finest – Movie Review
Director Antoine Fuqua looks to recapture the magic of Training Day, his career highpoint, with new film Brooklyn’s Finest. The film follows three police officers: Eddie (Richard Gere), a beleaguered patrol officer one week from retirement; Tango (Don Cheadle), an undercover officer no longer sure where his loyalties lie and; Sal (Ethan Hawke), a cash-strapped […]
Alice in Wonderland – Movie Review
Walt Disney once famously said, “I hope we never lose sight of one thing. That it all started with a mouse.” While that’s a great quote, truth be told it all started with The Alice Comedies, the Disney clan’s first commercially successful foray into the world of animation. Walt Disney (and the relatively unsung Ub […]
Brooklyn’s Finest
Brooklyn’s Finest is a film that has a great amount of potential, an all-star cast, and a director that we know can pull off a great movie. Unfortunately none of that matters when combined with terrible storytelling, absurd pacing, and about 30 minutes of shots that are utterly and incomprehensibly useless. ‘Cop Dramas’ are a […]
The Ghost Writer
It is hard to separate Roman Polanski the film director, and Roman Polanski the man of scandal. I want to make it clear first, that I am reviewing one of his movies, and I am not condoning any of his actions. I had many reservations going into to this film due to Mr. Polanski’s crimes, […]
Alice in Wonderland
Tim Burton and Johnny Depp have re-teamed once again. This time they tackle an adaptation of one of Lewis Carroll’s most famous novels, “Alice In Wonderland.” I first must tell you some of the 3D effects are great while others are lacking in the modern 3D era. Some of these effects are really messy. Burton […]
Throwback Thursdays: Volume 1 – Boys II Men II
So you are probably wondering why I decided to review an album from 1995 in an article in 2010, right? Good question. The answer is this: there is so much music out right now and with brand new music coming out every Tuesday, its easy to forget about the great music that came before. Of […]
