Film Review: ‘Poltergeist’ Starring Sam Rockwell, Jared Harris
What happens when legendary horror filmmaker Sam Raimi joins forces with Gil Kenan, the director of Monster House to remake one of the greatest horror films ever made? A soulless train wreck of a movie. This “haunted house” remake doesn’t come even close to the originality of the 1982 version.
Movie Review: ‘Pompeii’ Starring Kit Harington, Carrie-Anne Moss, Emily Browning
Mince a large cut “Titanic”, without the emotional resonance, tenderize a hunk of “Gladiator”, leaving out all that pesky action and visual pizazz, then season liberally with “Conan The Barbarian”, being sure to leave out most of the gore, throw them all together and bake. Ta-da, you have “Pompeii” – a movie that couldn’t be […]
Movie Review: ‘Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows’ Starring Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law
I’ll admit, before I saw the first Sherlock Holmes film, I was a bit skeptical. I was unsure of how Guy Ritchie would portray Holmes, given his filmography.

First Image from “Sherlock Holmes 2”
Right now Robert Downey Jr. can do no wrong. He has been on quite a run since his big release Iron Man, but I have been keeping tabs on him since Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang. I was initially nervous about the idea of Guy Ritchie directing Sherlock Holmes, but I loved the 2009 blockbuster so much […]
TV Reveiw: Mad Men 4.3: The Good News
I think a better title for this episode would have been, “Don and Lane’s Excellent New Years Adventure.” That segment last night was hands down the funniest seven minutes or so of Mad Men in this viewer’s opinion and was a brilliant addition to an already terrific season of Mad Men. But we will get […]
