“Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho” Looking to Add More to Already Impressive Cast

Posted: March 23, 2012 at 11:34 am   /   Film, Local, Movie News

“Psycho” is one of my favorite classic horror films.  I just love the performance from Anthony Perkins even more with each viewing, and the film has infinite replay value for me.  So I am very excited about the potential of this project.  Not just because of the subject matter, but the star studded cast that […]

Review: “Arthur” Remake Starring Russel Brand, Helen Mirren, Jennifer Garner

Posted: April 8, 2011 at 1:18 pm   /   Local, Tom O'Keefe Movie Reviews

Sometimes I feel as if I’m the only person that doesn’t have a strong opinion one way or the other on Russell Brand. It’s kind of problematic considering that having strong opinions is, you know, kind of my gig. But I thought casting Brand as the titular role in Arthur was a potentially brilliant move. […]

“Arthur” Starring Russell Brand, Helen Mirren, and Greta Gerwig

Posted: April 8, 2011 at 1:21 am   /   Featured, Local, Movie Reviews

I might be committing a cinematic foul by saying this, but I have never been a fan of the original Arthur.  I can see why people do, but I don’t think there is a lot of character progression, and I will state even more boldly that I was never a fan of Dudley Moore in the role. […]

Another Take By Zac: Film Review: Arthur

Posted: April 8, 2011 at 12:01 am   /   Another Take From Zac, Local, Movie Reviews

Arthur is a fine little romantic comedy that is fairly paint by numbers and doesn’t bring much new to the genre, but the cast makes it an entertaining enough affair that it is worth a watch if a fan of them. The film is a remake of the 1981 film of the same name, which […]

“Red” Gets a Sequel and Writers

Posted: January 18, 2011 at 1:14 pm   /   Film, Local, Movie News

I really enjoyed Red.  It was a fun popcorn flick.  Most of the entertainment value for the film comes from the cast.  The film was a box office success and even earned a surprising Golden Globe nomination for Best Picture – Musical or Comedy.  Can the studio see the same success with a sequel? They […]

New Images from Julie Taymor’s “The Tempest”

Posted: November 12, 2010 at 4:20 pm   /   Local, Movie News

One thing that you can almost take for granted with a Julie Taymor film is that the visuals will be stunning. Both Frida and Across the Universe had stunning visuals, with clear and bright cinematography. It looks as if her next film based upon the William Shakespeare play, The Tempest, is going to be cut […]

“RED” Movie Review | Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich, Helen Mirren

Posted: October 15, 2010 at 10:38 am   /   Local, Tom O'Keefe Movie Reviews

Bruce Willis plays retired CIA operative Frank Moses in the new action/comedy Red. He is on the run when a non-retired CIA covert team attempts to assassinate him. His solution is to reassemble his old team of aging veterans to figure out why. Like The Expendables the cast consists primarily of *ahem* “mature” movie stars […]
