Drive

by Administrator 1. October 2011 09:50
Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn has just laid down the gauntlet on this one. Already with an impressive list of films to his credit, Drive is his best film to date. Don't be surprised if he gets an Oscar nom for this, along with screenwriter Hossein Amini and star Ryan Gosling. ... [More]

The Green Lantern

by Administrator 30. September 2011 03:07
As bad as the Transformers was, there was an even worse film this summer and that was Green Lantern. This is the kind of film where everyone involved should never work on any motion picture again. Whereas, Transformers at least had high production values and was occasionally spectacular ... [More]

Transformers 3 Dark of the Moon

by Administrator 29. September 2011 04:10
Paramount Studios is trying to call Friday 9/30/2011 official Transformers Day or some such bilge water. And in honor of that statement, which is the height of hubris, let’s lay into the unnecessarily long titled, unnecessarily, err.. long(155 minutes) Transformers 3 Dark of the Moon. I... [More]

The Tree of Life

by Administrator 20. September 2011 03:58
The Tree of Life will sharply divide its audience into two camps. Those who think it is load of pretentious bullshit, with Kodak moments of gorgeous cinematography and voices whispering in the dark, and those who worship it as a transcendent work of art. Directed and written by the great Amer... [More]

Super 8

by Administrator 18. June 2011 15:30
Think E.T. cross-pollinated with Stand by Me, throw in some Iron Giant and you've got Super 8. It's a gang of kids coming of age journey with a malevolent military as the bad guy, a persecuted alien, who it would be a stretch to say is a good guy- it eats people, and bewildering,... [More]

by Administrator 5. June 2011 07:52
Welcome to summer blockbuster season. And, boy, what an opening. The latest installment of the X-Men franchise, First Class, is an extraordinary film, an utter triumph on a number of levels. Not only is it, by far, and I mean by far, the best X-Men film, it's arguably the best comic book/super... [More]

by Administrator 7. May 2011 02:51
There's nothing more frustrating than really wanting to like a movie. And then not. I love Thor- the character and comic book at least. The movie is medicore at best. Let's talk about the look of the film first as it definitely affected my viewing experience. I saw it in 3d, a deci... [More]

The two best vs The two worst comic book movies

by Administrator 2. May 2011 02:15
I'll admit it, I'm all atwitter on the eve of Thor's impending release. Thor, along with Fantastic Four's The Thing(which spewed two goofy movies), were my favorites when I was a Kid. The long bike ride down Wiley Canyon always ended up at the Safeway with the huge r... [More]
