Review: ‘The Cabin in the Woods’ Starring Chris Hemsworth, Kristen Connolly, Anna Hutchison

Posted: April 13, 2012 at 7:55 am   /   Local, Tom O'Keefe Movie Reviews

Mired in the financial quagmire of MGM, The Cabin in the Woods languished for three years as the studio focused on more pressing issues such as funding The Hobbit and the next James Bond film. Eventually the film was sold to Lionsgate and it is, at long last, seeing the light of day. Typically it’s […]

“Footloose” Remake Review Starring Kenny Wormald, Julianne Hough and Dennis Quaid

Posted: October 14, 2011 at 11:54 am   /   Local, Tom O'Keefe Movie Reviews

Footloose, opens much like the original – with kids in a small town dancing to the musical strains of Kenny Loggins. How small is this town, you ask? It’s so small that the kids who live there still dance to Kenny Loggins. Honest to God…Kenny Loggins. When tragedy strikes after one of their adult-contemporary inspired […]

Review: ‘Cowboys and Aliens’ Starring Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford

Posted: July 29, 2011 at 9:28 am   /   Local, Tom O'Keefe Movie Reviews

You had me at…well, “Aliens invade the old west.” But then you tell me that Han Solo and James Bond will play the cowboys? Well, that’s just flat out genius now, isn’t it? However, Cowboys & Aliens, it turns […]

Movie Review: Chris Evans is ‘Captain America: The First Avenger’

Posted: July 22, 2011 at 9:45 am   /   Local, Tom O'Keefe Movie Reviews

Marvel wraps up its long and winding road towards The Avengers with Captain America: The First Avenger. The subtitle is apt (though bit of a cynical hedge against foreign markets) since Captain America is the leader (and heart) of the team. Set in 1943, Steve Rogers is the quintessential 90-pound weakling when he is selected […]
