Making an inferior and unnecessary sequel to a seriously solid film is nothing new to Hollywood. Producers and studios gamble all the time with sequels. Sometimes they win big and sometimes they lose. It comes with the territory when you have to rely on a ...

Judd Apatow is an unquestionably funny filmmaker. The man’s comedic genius knows no bounds of either box office potential or human decency. With his signature comedies The 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up, he showed that injecting a story with a warm heart and ...
The lack of respect The Hudsucker Proxy gets is criminal. Anyone who proudly proclaims to be a Coen brothers fan should give this release a serious chance. For me, it’s an easy favorite of theirs in that it’s a straight up ballbuster of a comedy. Full of dark visual gags ...
Apparently, Back to the Future wasn’t all that unique of a time travelling movie. I’m sure producer Michael Nesmith (of The Monkees) and director William Dear, the co-creators of the 1982 sci-fi/western Timerider: The Adventure of Lyle Swann in which a ...
Much like the actual midnight raid that resulted in the discovery of and immediate killing of Osama bin Laden, Katheryn Bigelow’s Zero Dark Thirty sneaks up and packs a mighty powerful emotional wallop upside the head. It’s an unsuspecting final result, to be sure ...
Badlands and its harrowing killing spree is pretty much still, for lack of a better word, badass. Based on the true story of one Charles Starkweather and Caril Fugate, writer/director Terence Malick’s debut is a poignant bloodbath; a film that doesn't ...
Monster movies often get a bad reputation – especially cheaply made knock-offs – but, like this multi-cultural production of cheese and carnivores, what works about them is often overlooked. It’s a shame. It’s also to be expected from a genre not ...
Widely regarded un-filmable with its arching themes that span three continents, two oceans, and many years, Yann Martel’s novel Life of Pi gets the big screen treatment by fearless filmmaker Ang Lee. But where the Wachowski’s came up short with Cloud Atlas, and ...
“It is a time of dread…” and so begins Willow and the partnership between actor-turned-director Ron Howard and creator/executive producer George Lucas. It wasn’t their first partnership. That was American Graffiti way back in 1973, of course. But it was ...
When it comes to teenage terror, one cannot get any better than the menacing red gelatin threat of director Irvin S. Yeaworth’s The Blob. It’s an efficient horror house scare and, as far as entertainment goes, it’s perfectly structured to still get a response from modern ...
Rise of the Guardians, directed by Peter Ramsey, is what happens when various figures from our collective calendar holidays team up to play superhero against a soul-sucking force that threatens to steal their target audience away from them. The intelligence ...
In just over an hour, silent comedian Buster Keaton achieves more laughs in College than most comedians do in their entire career. His mastery of physical comedy is in its peak form and the short, made immediately following his now certified classic The General ...
Imagine Steven Spielberg's film career without direction. What would that look like? Well, as a survivor of his output in the mid-to-late 80's, I can tell you it isn't very pretty. The adult fantasy material he churns out is Always paper-thin and fails to Hook you with ...
Yul Brynner’s iconic silver-eyed gunslinger makes his debut on blu-ray this month and, as if no time has passed, Westworld reclaims its throne as the unstoppable thriller that it is. This lean and mean thriller was an afternoon staple of my youth but, seeing it now as an...
The Oscar for Best Picture is going to be a tight one. If Ben Affleck’s Argo is any indication of the type of films we are going to see this awards season, the race is also going to be a tough one. Argo doesn’t bait audiences with obvious Oscar touches yet it produces powerful scenes ...
Taking cues from such horror heavyweights as The Shining and Rosemary’s Baby, filmmaker Scott Derrickson knows the most effective kind of terror - the kind that haunts a viewer’s mind and causes sleepless nights – comes not necessarily from the moments ...
Delightfully nostalgic for the unrushed days of 8-bit video innocence, yet finding inspiration in the full-throttle frenzy of today’s first-person shooters, Wreck-It Ralph is what happens when Disney meets Pixar – exactly the quality of film we had hoped for when Mickey ...
The 2013 Oscars are right around the corner. The months of September - December are battlegrounds for the heavyweights of film, with a few underdogs in there to keep it fresh. Every film that comes out during this time frame is either vying for some sort of ...Most Recent Film Reviews
