Oh, Nicolas Cage, how you perplex me! You go out and do a fantastic job in a films like Bad Lieutenant and Kick-Ass, and then follow it with stuff like Sorcerer’s Apprentice and now Season of the Witch, which from all the materials I’ve seen from it, looks like it belongs straight in the bargain bin at Wal-Mart.

Posted: August 3, 2010 at 10:07 am   /   DVD News, Local

This is a great week in DVD releases so let’s just get right into the picks that I want to spotlight. Kick-Ass had very high expectations from me.  While it didn’t surpass them, it certainly met them pretty well.  I never read the comics that this film is based on, but from what I understand […]

“X-Men: First Class” Set For 2011 Release Date

Posted: July 28, 2010 at 7:27 am   /   Local, Movie News

I seem to be switching sides frequently on my interest for “X-Men: First Class.” I am frankly not too excited, because “X-Men: The Last Stand” and “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” were not good. I am excited because Matthew Vaughn, director of “Kick-Ass” and “Layer Cake” is helming this one. I’m not excited because they gave a […]

Anyone who thought Daniel Radcliffe would be dropping off the face of the earth after finishing the Harry Potter series is slightly mistaken.

“Nowhere Boy” HD Movie Trailer

Posted: June 4, 2010 at 9:26 pm   /   Local, Movie Trailers

No other band in history seems to be as idolized and romanticized as The Beatles. Nowhere Boy takes the life of John Lennon, and presents a coming of age story. Playing Lennon this time around is Aaron Johnson, in a much different turn than his last character Kick-Ass.  Biopics of dead musicians seem to always […]
