Movie Review: ‘Gangster Squad’ Starring Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, Sean Penn
Zombieland was one of my favorite movies from 2009. It was fresh, fun, and didn’t take itself too seriously. Director Ruben Fleischer wasn’t trying to be 28 Days Later, or Dawn of the Dead, but rather created his own style – the result of which was a clever and extremely entertaining film. With his latest […]

Movie Review: ‘Ted’ is Furry, Foul, and a Lot of Fun

I think it says something about the new Mark Wahlberg vehicle, Contraband, that I keep forgetting its name. What is it again? Contraption? Contraception? In the end, I made up a trick to remember: an image of Mark Wahlberg wearing a new ultra conservative brand of Ray-Bans while he steals piles of money. Unfortunately the film […]

Avatar
James Cameron’s Avatar is finally here and not only does it deliver the visuals effects we were promised, which are quite possibly the best ever put on film, but the story is engaging and entertaining, if familiar, with a third act that must be seen to believe. In Avatar, James Cameron has literally created an […]
