Consisting of 12 Districts, each region is required by law to send two “Tributes,” a randomly selected boy and girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen, […]

Movie Review: ‘The Hunger Games’ Starring Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth

Posted: March 23, 2012 at 12:26 am   /   Featured, Local, Movie Reviews

When I first heard about the furor over a book franchise called “The Hunger Games,” I cringed. Young teenagers and women fawning over a fantasy/science fiction book series? I immediately thought of “Twilight” and the horror that that series has wrought on the self-confidence of men everywhere not named Robert Pattinson or Taylor Lautner. I was […]

‘Friends With Benefits’ Reviewed by a Friend With No Benefits

Posted: July 22, 2011 at 12:00 am   /   Local, Movie Reviews

Seeing a chick flick is usually comparable to reaching into a mixed bag. On one hand, you have super cheesy, philogynistic Nicholas Sparks-esque films like The Notebook and A Walk to Remember. On the other hand, you have the more (relatively) recent, next-gen films like Love and Other Drugs which tend to throw a bone to the […]

Spotlight of the Week – Mila Kunis

Posted: December 1, 2010 at 1:16 am   /   Film, Local

This week I wanted to focus on an actress that may be getting the wrong kind of attention (or the right kind of attention depending on what kind of a person you are).  Black Swan is getting ready to hit theaters, and the talk of the movie has been either Natalie Portman’s performance or the […]

“Paper Man” Trailer Starring Jeff Daniels, Ryan Reynolds, Emma Stone, and Lisa Kudrow

Posted: April 12, 2010 at 6:51 pm   /   Local, Movie Trailers

I judged a trailer by it’s poster and name apparently. I assumed that this would be another Hollywood attempt to make Special or Defendor again. (Watch the trailer for Defendor starring Woody Harrelson.) I was wrong actually, it seems more like it is trying to remake Lars and the Real Girl with a slightly different […]

Gritty dramas based around the Iraq War were a popular subject in films in 2009. Dominating the award season is The Hurt Locker.

New “Defendor” Trailer Starring Woody Harrelson

Posted: February 15, 2010 at 3:49 pm   /   Film, Local

Defendor looks very similar to 2008’s Special starring Michael Rappaport, with a mix of Kick-Ass thrown in. In all the films, the main character is deluded into trying to become a superhero. Kick-Ass is the only one that has a main character who isn’t specifically crazy. Both Defendor and Special have protagonists who through some […]
