Titanic: 3D IMAX Experience

Titanic: 3D IMAX Experience

James Cameron's 1997 Best Picture Oscar winner gets a 3D facelift, and not only was it released just in time for its 15th anniversary but more appropriately, in time for the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the actual ship.

The Avengers

The Avengers

Of all the things The Avengers gets right—and it gets a lot of things right—its the hiring of writer/director Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly) that sits firmly at the top of the list. And while this outstanding film-maker has many wonderful titles to his credit (including a writing... [More]

Cabin In The Woods

Cabin In The Woods

Cabin in the Woods is a hard film to review because there's almost no way to tap dance around spoilers.

We Need To Talk About Kevin

We Need To Talk About Kevin

We Need to Talk About Kevin is a provocative, unsettling little indie starring Tilda Swinton and John C. Reilly as the unsuspecting parents of a truly troubled child.

Jeff Who Lives At Home

The Duplass Brothers (the sibling film-makers behind such mumble core classics as The Puffy Chair and Cyrus) return with the carefree charmer Jeff Who Lives At Home. Jason Segel stars as the title character--a 30 year old pot smoker/slacker with good intentions whose lovable nature is only rivaled... [More]

October Baby

October Baby

October Baby is a sloppy exercise in Christian cinema. That statement isn't meant as a stab at Christian cinema. Its more of a stab a sloppy film-making. I don't mind a movie with religious undertones, but if a film is going to tackle tough subject matter like abortion, it better do it with honest... [More]

Mirror Mirror

Mirror Mirror

Every so many years, it seems like we get two identically themed movies released a couple of months apart. In 1997 it was Dante's Peak and Volcano, in 1998 it was Deep Impact and Armageddon, in 2009 Paul Blart: Mall Cop and Observe Report. In 2012, the celebrity Death Match belongs to Mirror Mir...
