Willis, Norton, Murray in Talks to Star in Wes Anderson’s Newest

Posted: November 11, 2010 at 12:57 pm   /   Film, Local, Movie News

There is no denying that director Wes Anderson’s films are some of the quirkiest to be released in recent years.  While his films may not be for everybody (Fantastic Mr. Fox is the only one I really loved), there is one consistent component of all of his films: star power.  Some of the actors he […]

Roger Qbert Reviews “Robin Hood” starring Russell Crowe

Posted: May 14, 2010 at 2:30 am   /   Local, Tom O'Keefe Movie Reviews

Russell Crowe and director Ridley Scott reteam for their fifth film together, Robin Hood.  Crowe plays the titular hero in Hollywood’s umpteenth retelling of the tale.  This time out the story is a prequel of sorts, taking place before Robin Longstride makes the transition to “Robin Hood.”  As the film opens, Robin is an archer […]

The Decade’s Best – The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004)

Posted: August 17, 2009 at 9:51 pm   /   Local, Opinion

Wes Anderson’s “action” movie sticks to the themes that you find in a lot of his films and the results are a fantastic blend of adventure, farce, humor, sadness, and drama that not only gives us Anderson’s spin on the action/adventure genre drama but serves as an excellent character study of a man on the […]

Ponyo

Hayao Miyazaki’s latest is given the A+ voice over treatment for American audiences with the help of John Lasseter and the results are a beautiful looking animated tale full of wonder and imagination that is a bit all over the place and can’t sustain it’s full run time. Sosuke is a young boy that lives […]
