The coldness of director Matthijs van Heijningen’s remake/reboot/whatever you want to call it of The Thing isn’t due to its icy Norwegian camp setting (although, even the obvious is taken for granted here). It’s the paper-thin characters ...

A fan of the pulp era, wonderfully lurid tales told briskly and cheaply from the Depression into the 1950s, this reviewer, like many, latched onto a certain reoccurring character written by an unassuming fellow, long since gone (and under sad circumstances). The character’s name: Conan ...
In spite of efforts to instill in our young women the notion that self-worth shouldn’t be measured by her ability to attract a husband, filmmakers continue to craft comedy from that very outmoded belief ...
Love is a funny thing and, in the hands of master comedian Buster Keaton, it is celebrated as a fantastic riot of elaborate setpieces and outrageous stunts. Seven Chances, from 1925, is Keaton’s sweet answer to the subtleties ...
It isn’t often that cancer is the subject of a young man’s sort of coming-of-age tale but, thankfully, we are all the better for it. 50/50 are the chances of one man’s survival rates against the rare type of aggressive cancer that he has in director ...
Celebrating the 20th anniversary of Joe Johnston’s The Rocketeer, Disney – at long last – allows the film to breathe a bit in spectacular High Definition. Let the fist pumping and high-fives begin! Created by writer/illustrator Dave Stevens, the character ...
What’s the measure of a man? The position he plays on the football team? How well he can hunt? The extreme to which he must be pushed before resorting to violence? While Rod Lurie’s Straw Dogs tackles ...
Produced by Lawrence Bender, directed by Scott Spiegel (writer of Evil Dead 2) and starring Sam and Ted Raimi, Intruder is exactly the type of supermarket slasher film you’d expect from those wacky minds. Intruder has one hand slopped in a bucket of gore and the other hand in the era of slapstick ...
As smooth (like butter) as David Tennat’s tight leather pants, director Craig Gillespie’s remake of Fright Night is an equally revealing look at the how, the why and the when of remake necessities ...
While this American remake of the 2007 Israeli feature film called Ha-Hov will never hold up to the accolades received by its Israeli counterpart (four nominations for Israel’s Academy Awards equivalent), The Debt is nonetheless a ...
Releasing a meaningful movie at the very end of summer is grossly unheard of from the executives up in Hollyweird and yet that’s exactly what Dreamworks and Touchstone Pictures have done with The Help. Powerful and powerfully moving ...
Historically accurate, supremely relevant, and yet politically polarizing, The Conspirator is the first feature film to come from Joe Rickett’s newly formed American Film Company, whose aim is to produce engaging, authentic films...
The Wolf Pack is indeed back. Unfortunately, the originality of their first foray into super drunken and super funny territory does not return along with them. In what goes down as a note-for-note retread of 2009’s The Hangover, director Todd Phillips ...
For many long decades, people have scanned the horizons and wondered if humans were alone in the universe or if there were other creatures just waiting to communicate with us. Yet, fear always sets in and our imaginations turn to galactic invasions and ...
Writer/Director Wes Anderson is sort of a modern-day filmmaking hero of mine. From the opening few minutes of Bottle Rocket, I felt I had a socially awkward brother out there; another who grew up on Woody Allen films and knew too much about The Kinks for ...
Bringing a welcome change to the hill-meets-billy horror formula, writer/director Eli Craig’s Tucker and Dale Vs. Evil is a hilarious spoof of backwoods terror. After waiting some 40-plus years, we have a movie that celebrates the southerner as the unsung hero without ...
Tackling the territory of camp and schlock films from the 1950s with even more camp and schlock requires a bit of skill as those films, while insanely entertaining, were usually never meant to be the stuff of self-referential spoof. Writers/directors Adam Rifkin ...
Regardless of what the film’s title may suggest, Ned (Paul Rudd) isn’t really an idiot. It’s just that his brutal honesty is perceived as stupidity. And that’s where screenwriters David Schisgall and Evgenia Peretz find their hook in Our Idiot Brother, a ...Most Recent Film Reviews
