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 […]

Duplicity

Posted: April 10, 2009 at 12:05 pm   /   Local, Movie Reviews

The latest from Toy Gilroy is not quite as good as his previous effort, but it is still a fun and fairly unconventional con game/spy/thriller that will have you scratching your head here and there as the plot unravels to the end.
