MOVIE REVIEW: THE RESIDENT – STARRING JEFFREY DEAN MORGAN, HILARY SWANK
I usually try to stay away from direct to DVD releases. Mainly because they are terrible. But every now and then you find a real gem. A film that when you finish you think, “Why wouldn’t the studio want to release that in theaters?” THE RESIDENT is a film that, for me, fell right into […]
TV Review – “The Cape” Episode 1.1 and 1.2 “Pilot/Tarot”
I was excited about The Cape as soon as I had seen the first commercial. This is mainly due to the fact that I am a superhero fan. I just think that superheroes are meant to have tv shows. It allows the characters to develop, and audiences to see a full range of villains. This […]
Graphic Novel Review – “Batman: Year One”
I had heard a lot about Batman: Year One before I read it for the first time. Comic geeks gush over Frank Miller, especially his work on The Dark Knight Returns. I personally do not see the exceptional piece of work that everyone else saw with that book, but it was good. I can tell […]
Tim Reviews “The Fighter” Starring Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale, Amy Adams
I love watching movie trailers. I immediately have to see the newest ones when they hit the web, and I pride myself on my ability to name the movie within seconds of the trailer. I am a movie geek, so what. Unfortunately, most trailers these days show you almost the full story within those 2 […]
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 […]
The Boys Are Back
The latest film from director Scott Hicks is probably his best since Shine, which was also filmed in South Australia, and netted Geoffry Rush an Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role. The Boys are Back takes place in South Australia where sports journalist Joe Warr is dealing with the loss of his […]
Couples Retreat
Peter Billingsly’s feature debut with screenwriting stars and duo Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau have created a relationship comedy that has a number of interesting points on couples, but really lacks a lot of good humor and drags at a miserable pace for the last forty five minutes or so. Dave, Jason, Shane, and Joey […]
ABC’s Modern Family is Hilarious
Just got done watching the series premiere of ABC’s new mockumentary family comedy and I was very impressed. Focusing on a family with just about everything, the Dad has just married young and she is a fiery Latino with a young romantic son, a gay couple that just adopted a baby girl from Vietnam, and a more […]
Big Fan
Robert Siegel makes his feature debut with a low budget dark comedy that is an interesting character study of what someone might do for the team they love if taken to the extreme, but might have needed a different direction for the lead to make it more convincing. Paul is a New York Giants fan. […]
Taking Woodstock
Ang Lee’s latest is his lesser effort as of late as he starts off on the right foot but slowly dissolves into a bit of a mess with no narrative to speak of for the second half. Elliot Teichberg is a want a be artist living in New York City, only to see most of […]
