Review by the Raven Whenever a film states that it is based on true events I get nervous…not because I doubt this statement, but because I realize that these events are not some made up story but something real that I may have to think about after I actually see the film. It’s like being […]
It’s Kind of a Funny Story
“It’s Kind of a Funny Story” is a dark comedy, with subtle humor that keeps things light-hearted throughout. Although tackling subject matter as serious as being committed into a mental ward can seem intimidating, the film is fun and introduces us to likable characters who keep things entertaining without exploiting the situation. Craig (Keir Gilchrist) […]
Brad Reviews “The Other Guys” Starring Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg
I’m A PEACOCK WHO NEEDS TO FLY LET ME FLY! St. Louis was awarded The Other Premier for the “The Other Guys” a film that teams Will Ferrell and writer-director Adam McKay for the fourth time. My Wife and I were lucky enough to attend, we didn’t get to see much of the red Carpet, […]
Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR… NOT The Cats Meow The best part of this film is before the movie really starts. WB treats us to a new Wile E. Coyote vs Roadrunner cartoon in of course 3D. I personally think this 3 minute cartoon got more laughs in 3 minutes than Kitty Galore and her henchmen do in 82 […]

Aarti Reviews “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse”
The third installment in the Twilight series Eclipse opened to high expectations from fans and even some critics. As far as Twilight movies go, it was the best one yet, but unfortunately that’s not saying much. As with its predecessors, Eclipse falls somewhere between mediocre and horrible albeit slightly closer to the mediocre end of […]
Grown Ups
Grown Ups tells the story of five friends who were inseparable growing up, but have drifted apart over the years. Unfortunately, it feels more like an SNL cast member reunion show than a solid film, and lacks any serious focus. The film opens with a flashback of a championship grade school basketball game. The team […]
Robert Qbert Reviews “Knight and Day” Starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz
Tom Cruise, hoping to springboard off of the goodwill engendered by his Tropic Thunder cameo as Les Grossman, returns to the big screen with the sort of film that had previously been his specialty: a bloated, big-budget, bombastic action flick. It’s been four years since Mission: Impossible III misfired; a misfire, it should be noted, […]
Roger Qbert Reviews “Splice”
In the new film Splice Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley star as Clive and Elsa, rebellious young upstarts in the field of genetic engineering. They are rapidly rising rock stars in the world of biogenetics. Single-handedly creating new hybrid species; they appear to be on the cusp of revolutionizing medical science. However, when their funding […]
Roger Qbert Reviews “Shrek Forever After”
Shrek is back and this time our hero (Mike Myers) is experiencing a midlife crisis of sort. He and his bride, Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz) are the parents of triplets and Shrek is bristling at the repetitious mundanity of domesticity longing for the days when he could take a mud bath in peace. Instead, he’s […]
