Duncan Jones makes his feature debut with this fantastic sci-fi film that digs into the psyche of the mind and what it means to be human and it is all fueled by a marvelous performance by Sam Rockwell. Helium-3 has saved the earth’s energy problems. A world on the verge of destroying itself through pollution […]

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs

Posted: June 30, 2009 at 10:10 pm   /   Local, Movie Reviews

The third film in the trilogy is superior to the awful second, but doesn’t have the heart and all around quality of the first film in the series; and it utilizes the use of 3-D fairly well in a couple of key action scenes. Diego, Manny, and Sid are all living together in there own […]

Woody Allen returns from Europe and heads right back to New York City in this “classic Allen” tale that allows Larry David to be exposed to a bigger audience then HBO for the hilarious and brilliant man that he is.

The latest documentary to come around to educate us about what we eat is more of a call for regulation mixed with education on the subsidizing and corporate environment of our food in this country and it does it entertainingly without grossing you out.

My Sister’s Keeper

Posted: June 25, 2009 at 11:01 pm   /   Local, Movie Reviews

Nick Cassavetes latest adaptation is done well but strangely lacks any earned emotional punch and comes across as just expecting your emotion from the subject matter instead of working for it. Kate has leukemia and she isn’t winning the fight. Her sister Anna has been a great medical asset for her through the years, constantly […]

Chéri

The latest from Stephen Frears starts off well enough, having fun and well spirited but by the end is a bit of a sappy, overly dramatic, melodrama that almost negates the good start. Lea is a courtesan, one of the best at that, in France. She is so successful at what she does that she […]

Year One

Posted: June 18, 2009 at 8:54 pm   /   Local, Movie Reviews

Harold Ramis is back behind the camera for his latest with his new Apatow friends and the result is a intermittently humorous film that is rather mediocre to not funny for over half the film. Oh and Zed are a pair of tribesmen that are quite the pair of failures in their tribe. Zed is […]
