Play the Game
This cute little independent picture has a good idea at its core, but has a bit too much cliché and uneven work by its lead to really stand out above being an average comedy. David Mitchell is a ladies man and he has a plan and he sticks to it no matter what. Not looking […]
Restaurant Review – Prime Steakhouse at the Casino Queen
What happens in Vegas may stay in Vegas, but what happened at the Casino Queen, well I’ve just gotta tell you! You may have heard the Casino Queen is Home of the Loosest Slots (not so much in my case, but good thing I only spent $1), but they are also home to a very tasty and […]
Streetballers
A local St. Louis production, Streetballers is a great film that really gives me hope that the St. Louis film landscape can produce just as good of films as other more film centric areas of the country like LA and New York. Streetballers follows John (writer and director Matthew Scott Krentz) a college student who […]
Shorts
The starts of this movie are, as you can tell in the title, a bunch of “shorts.” With this film, Robert Rodriguez has made the kids version of his buddy Quentin Tarantino’s “Pulp Fiction.” Shorts made the process more technical with fast forward, rewind, and pause buttons.

Inglourious Basterds
Quentin Tarantino’s latest is the long in development WWII epic that is not really a war film but a dialogue heavy affair like all of Tarantino’s work and the result is slow burn plot that builds amazing tension through fantastic characters all culminating in an explosive final act that could potentially re-write WWII history. Split […]

Charlyne Yi’s pseudo documentary drama is bound to make you smile and get caught up in the love thrown up on screen by the real life interviewees and the dramatized version of her own coupling with Michael Cera. This documentary opens with our narrator contemplating her own ability to find love and whether she thinks […]
Mad Men Episode 3.1 Review
The third season of Mad Men began last night and the results were just what we want from a series premiere in the middle of the show’s run. (Spoilers here in for the episode) I will say I find it rather interesting that the show reset some of the characters back their more original selves […]
