33: ‘RoboCop’ Starring Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, Samuel L. Jackson

Posted: February 20, 2014 at 12:01 pm   /   Film, Local, Reel Spoilers

It was Valentine’s Day Weekend and love was in the air. So, of course, this week on the show we tackle Robocop. Well, ok, nobody “tackles” Robocop. Although…ED-209? No, they don’t really “tackle” things. They just shoot them. So, um, anyway…this week’s podcast is about Robocop. Did it recapture the dark-comedy heights of the original? […]

Movie Review: ‘RoboCop’ Starring Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, and Samuel Jackson

Posted: February 12, 2014 at 12:19 pm   /   Featured, Local, Movie Reviews

In 1987, RoboCop blew moviegoers away (no pun intended) with its blend of over the top violence, revolutionary special effects, and biting social commentary (it was the 80’s after all), all wrapped into a perfect storm of an 80’s action movie. To me, the original source material was so unique and timeless that it never needed […]

Posted: July 17, 2013 at 7:05 am   /   Featured, Local, Movie Reviews

The first thing you connect with garden snails is usually not speed. So when a movie comes out about a snail who dreams of winning the Indianapolis 500 (yes, the human race car version) it’s pretty intriguing. The fine folks at DreamWorks who brought us Shrek, Antz and How to Train Your Dragon continue to […]

Thank you, movie gods. If The Lucky One was my purgatory, The Avengers was my reward for my patience. By now, after the first five films set in the Marvel universe, it’s probably fair to say the fanbase has been whipped into a frenzy for this film.
