Movie Review: Oliver Stone’s ‘Savages’ Starring Taylor Kitsch, Aaron Johnson, Blake Lively

Posted: July 6, 2012 at 9:40 am   /   Featured, Local, Movie Reviews

Oliver Stone returns to his roots, with subject matter somewhat reminiscent of Scarface and Natural Born Killers. But Savages is unique enough to stand on its own, not fitting perfectly into one genre or the other. And that is what makes this vivid, beautifully filmed tale of two naive California drug lords who take on […]

From Paris With Love – Movie Review

Posted: February 5, 2010 at 8:25 pm   /   Local, Tom O'Keefe Movie Reviews

In the 1988 cinematic masterpiece They Live, Roddy Piper uttered the classic line, “I’ve come to chew bubblegum and kick ass…and I’m all out of bubblegum.”  So it is with John Travolta’s latest From Paris with Love only instead of bubblegum, Travolta has come to chew scenery…and there’s plenty of it.  He plays Charlie Wax, […]

From Paris With Love

Posted: February 5, 2010 at 6:37 am   /   Local, Movie Reviews

From Paris With Love is director Pierre Morel’s third feature film, following the likes of District B13 and the sleeper hit Taken. Unlike its predecessors,  the film concentrates more on the guns, explosions, and thoughtless action – rather than the solid storyline and dialogue.  And the great thing is — it doesn’t even matter. Reece, […]

It isn’t very often I go see a film and can’t find a single redeeming quality about a film. I’ve seen some stinkers this year, but none of them top the sheer stupidity of Old Dogs. When you first glance at Old Dogs you might think, “Oh, Robin Williams and John Travolta in a comedy […]

Taking of Pelham 1 2 3

Posted: June 12, 2009 at 12:01 am   /   Local, Movie Reviews

Tony Scott’s latest with frequent collaborator Denzel Washington is a mediocre affair that is poorly written and can’t even muster much style out of Scott either. Walter Garber is introduced to us as an everyday transit authority civil servant that mans and maintains the New York City subway traffic so that it flows with ease […]

Before They Were Stars

Posted: May 28, 2009 at 8:14 am   /   Featured, Local

Believe it or not, big stars are not made overnight. Most actors are in a few things before they break out and into A-List status. You’ve probably watched many movies where you saw a minor character and thought, “Hey I know them!” Sometimes, they are hard to place because they are so much younger or […]
