Sundance - Wish You Were Here, Red Lights

Sundance - Wish You Were Here, Red Lights

"Sundance 2012"-- Wish You Were Here Joel Edgerton (Warrior) is sensational in this Australian import.

Sundance -The Imposter, The Raid

Sundance -The Imposter, The Raid

"Sundance 2012"--The Imposter If The Imposter were a narrative film, I never would have bought into it. I probably would have dismissed it as ridiculous and impossible. But whereas this stunning movie is a documentary (at least, that's what they tell us), I was positively blown away by it. And i... [More]

Hugo

Hugo

Hugo represents a true departure for Martin Scorsese (Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas, Casino, The Departed, etc.). This is a family movie. An honest to goodness film for folks of all ages (true, he made Kundun but that was still a film aimed primarily at adults). Not a gangster in sight. And w... [More]

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo

This dark, grim, cynical thriller (based on the novel by Stieg Larsson) has been meticulously crafted by the gifted David Fincher. And even though its extremely well made, I couldn't help but feel like something was missing. I guess I should be pointing a finger at the source material rather than t... [More]

War Horse

War Horse

Apparently, releasing one major motion picture this past Christmas wasn't enough for Steven Spielberg. He gave us two! The Adventures of Tintin is more of a popcorn release while War Horse represents the kind of old fashioned storytelling we don't really see much of anymore. During World War I, a h... [More]

Sherlock Holmes

Sherlock Holmes

I thought the first Sherlock Holmes picture was decent, but I wasn't overwhelmed by it. This sequel however fixes some of the issues I had with the first picture. Firstly, a horribly miscast Rachel McAdams (who I generally love) is back, but she only appears in the first reel. Secondly, Game of Shad... [More]

With Mission: Impossible--Ghost Protocol, Bird makes the leap to live action with relative ease. As Ghost Protocol opens, Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt engages in an in... [More]

Adventures of Tintin

Adventures of Tintin

Is The Adventures of Tintin Raiders of the Lost Ark? No, but Steven Spielberg's latest visual stunner is certainly in the same tradition. Based on the Herge comic book series, Tintin spins a fantastical adventure involving reporter Tintin (Jamie Bell) and his search for a sunken treasure. The boyish... [More]

The Muppets

THE MUPPETS (PG) Starring Kermit the Frog, Jason Segel, Miss Piggy, and Amy Adams Released by Walt Disney Pictures The Muppets is a sunny, joyful cinematic experience that proves you can in fact go home again.

We Bought a Zoo

We Bought a Zoo

In an interesting marketing move, 20th Century Fox decided to give Cameron Crowe fans an early Christmas present by unveiling special advanced screenings of We Bought a Zoo nationwide nearly a month before its December 23rd release date. Whether or not this stunt works to the studio's advantage r... [More]

Immortals

Immortals

Film-maker Tarsem Singh is a visual stylist to be sure. Watching one of his films is sort of like watching one of your favorite paintings come to life. Its too bad that his latest film is only tolerable when characters aren't talking. As the trailer suggests, Immortals plays like a combination of... [More]

Ides of March

Ides of March

George Clooney's latest political thriller is thoughtful and provocative, and surprisingly, it avoids the liberal grandstanding you might be expecting. I suppose its in there, but it isn't at the forefront of the film. In this intimate drama, Ryan Gosling plays a political campaign specialist whose... [More]
