Movie Review: ‘Straw Dogs’ Starring James Marsden, Kate Bosworth
Straw Dogs is director Rod Lurie’s (The Last Castle, Resurrecting the Champ) remake of the 1971 Sam Peckinpah film of the same name that starred Dustin Hoffman and Susan George. Although some may find the modern version lacking the coherence of the original, it is a well made thriller with great acting and plenty of tension. […]
Movie Review by Matty: Final Destination 5 in 3D
If you were never a fan of the Final Destination franchise (or maybe just liked the first one or two) then you are in luck. Compared to the other ones, Final Destination 5 brings a whole new meaning to the word: gruesome. Watching it in 3D definitely helped the severeness and intensity of all of […]
Movie Review: “Troll Hunter” Finds Its Spink
Many years ago, red-headed hellion Pippi Longstocking searched for the elusive “spink” in the book Pippi in the South Seas. Pippi didn’t even know what the hell “spink” was – it was simply a nonsense word she tried to apply to a rake, a disease and finally a beetle. She claimed she would know a […]
Movie Review: THE ART OF GETTING By Starring Emma Roberts, Freddie Highmore
There are very few films now-a-days that you can go into completely blind. Between magazines, television, and internet one is bound to see something about a movie before it hit theaters. But THE ART OF GETTING BY was a rare opportunity where I was doing just that. Seeing the film without knowing a single thing […]
Movie Review: TREE OF LIFE Directed By Terrence Malick
I read a lot about Terrence Malick before seeing TREE OF LIFE. I had never seen any of his films so I wanted to get a rough idea about what I was getting into. I learned that this was only his fifth feature length film in 38 years. I read how he is a very […]
Movie Review: SUPER 8 Starring Joel Courtney, Elle Fanning, and Kyle Chandler
Over a year ago when I first saw the teaser for SUPER 8, I immediately got a huge grin on my face. I was so excited. I wanted to know why the truck crashed into the train. I wanted to know why the train was traveling across the country. I wanted to know what was […]
Review: “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” Starring Johnny Depp, Penélope Cruz
It has been almost eight years since we were introduced to the most recognizable swashbucklers of our time in the Pirates of the Caribbean series. 2003’s ‘Curse of the Black Pearl’ was a smash hit, and in 2006 and 2007 ‘Dead Man’s Chest” and ‘At World’s End’ took us on a fun ride if nothing […]

Taking place around the Spanish Civil War, “There Be Dragons” is the story of two best friends who grow apart to live two drastically different lives. Josemaria Escrivá (Charlie Cox), who’s family is faced with being poor for most of his childhood, would go on to become a priest and found Opus Dei. Meanwhile Manolo […]
Sucker Punch
I went into this film with a bias. I will admit. I thought the trailers looked awesome. I have loved most of Zak Snyder’s work thus far so I was very excited to see him take on his own original work. The film was on my list of top ten most anticipated films of the […]
Movie Review: DRIVE ANGRY 3D Starring Nicholas Cage, Amber Heard
I have to be honest. I expected this movie to be awful. Nothing about what I had seen impressed me. The shot of a guy throwing an ax at Cage, and it cutting his hair looked ridiculous. Nicholas Cage and his acting looked ridiculous (which I have come to expect). The only thing I could […]
