Movie Review: ‘Motherless Brooklyn’ Starring Edward Norton, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Alec Baldwin
People say they love a good detective story. The tale of the fedora-clad loner chasing after the unknown perpetrator of the supposed crime of the century in the seedy underbelly of a well-known urban setting. It is probably set in the ‘40s or ‘50s, too. The thing is, anybody can try their hand at the […]
The Bearded Reviewer: Jim Bertel Takes On ‘The Bourne Legacy’
Many people consider The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, or even the new Nolan Batman series to be the greatest trilogies that Hollywood has produced. Allow me to commit sacrilege for a moment and state first and foremost that the Bourne trilogy is my absolute favorite trilogy of the bunch. Each movie succeeded in […]
Movie Review:’The Bourne Legacy’ Starring Jeremy Renner
The original Bourne trilogy will possibly go down as the greatest action/thriller series of all time. The series won audiences and critics over with smart storytelling, captivating action, and a knockout performance by Matt Damon as Jason Bourne.

Many a film series have tried to go on without one or […]

Bottle Rocket. Rushmore. The Royal Tenenbaums. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. The Darjeeling Limited. Fantastic Mr. Fox. Writer and director Wes Anderson has made a series of films that are every bit his own. In watching any of these films, it’s easy to see Anderson’s hand crafting the scenes and dialogue. As a result, […]
Brand New Trailer For ‘The Bourne Legacy’ Starring Jeremy Renner
I am going to make a bold statement. I am comfortable enough in my manhood to say this. I have a huge man-crush on Jeremy Renner. It’s out there, and now I can’t take it back. The man is just a complete badass, and I want to just sit in a bar, watch any sporting […]

Title: Stone Starring: Robert DeNiro, Milla Jovovich, Edward Norton Directed by: John Curran Synopsis: A convicted arsonist looks to manipulate a correctional officer into a plan to secure his parole by placing his beautiful wife in the lawman’s path.
