Three Foreign Films for the Long Hot Summer of 2010

by Administrator 22. August 2010 07:10
It has been, in my view, an abhorrent summer for American movies. Inception was a bright spot, but not that bright. Fortunately I've seen three foreign films that managed to do something else other than jiggle the camera, pound us in the head with baseball bats and blow shit up. Don&... [More]

Inception (84)

by Administrator 17. July 2010 14:28
Christopher Nolan of Dark Knight fame is back with the massive Inception starring Leo Dicaprio and Ellen Page. It's a huge lumbering ambitious attempt at a truely great film. Although it almost gets there at times, the self-indulgent length, 148 minutes, and utlra-repetive gun fight sequences ... [More]

Robin Hood(77)

by Administrator 17. May 2010 05:57
Director Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe reunite in what appeared to an attempt to put Gladiator in Sherwood Forest. Unfortunately, for the most part, they pretty much fail. Nowhere does Hood approach Gladiator's magnificence. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of good stuff in Hood... [More]

Ironman 2 (80)

by Administrator 7. May 2010 10:41
In rolls the first of the summer's blockbuster action superhero films, the highly anticipated Ironman 2. So let's get right to it- is it as good as the first Ironman? That's a tall order, being as I consider Ironman 1 to be the possibly the best superhero movie of them all. ... [More]

Clash of the Titans- a.k.a. "Release the Kraken!" (68)

by Administrator 8. April 2010 06:47
I'll bet the reason Liam Neeson took this role, as Zeus in a glittering silver suit of armor, was so he could whirl face the camera, and order, "Release the Kraken!". Try this line on those loved one around you and see it's effect. Chores get done, co-workers leave you alon... [More]

Twilight(55)/ Twilight New Moon(57) - Vampires for Miley Cyrus

by Administrator 3. April 2010 09:38
My old college roomate, the ubiquitous Lou Hutter, knowing I was a writer and never able to resist any opportunity to jab me, whenever we were watching some particularly obnoxious bad bit of television, would turn to me and ask, in a deadpan voice, "Did you write this?" I'... [More]

Alice in Wonderland (70)

by Administrator 5. March 2010 14:49
Well, here we are back again in another 3d megamovie. This one is a really bad adaptation of Lewis Carrol's "Alice in Wonderland" directed by the macabre imagist Tim Burton, starring his partnered star as of late, Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter and Mia Wasikowska as Alice. And yes, I ... [More]
