Final Destination 5

Final Destination 5

FINAL DESTINATION 5 (R) Starring Nicholas D'Agosto, Emma Bell, Tony Todd, and Tom Crui...er...I mean Miles Fisher Wow! This was a surprise. Final Destination 5 is a lot of fun! It doesn't really take the franchise in a new direction (in that regard, its sort of a throwback to the horror franchises... [More]

Rise of the Planet of the Apes

Rise of the Planet of the Apes

When I heard about this project just over a year ago, I must confess--I didn't harbor much excitement for it. Then footage started trickling out online and it became clear that there was a strong chance that Rise of the Planet of the Apes would emerge as one of the big surprises of a rather lacklust...

Buck

Buck

"I'm helping horses with people problems." This is but one of the many insightful quotes spoken by the subject at the heart of the outstanding documentary Buck. Buck traces the life of original horse whisperer Buck Brannaman (its been widely suggested that Brannaman was the inspiration for both... [More]

OUR IDIOT BROTHER (R) Starring Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks, Emily Mortimer, Steve Coogan Released by The Weinstein Company Paul Rudd has been making a career out of bromance movies as of late (see Role Models, I Love You Man, and Dinner For Schmucks) but with Our Idiot Brother (formally My Idiot...

Warrior

Warrior

Warrior is in the grand tradition of sports underdog movies like Rocky, Cinderella Man, and The Fighter.

Winnie the Pooh

Winnie the Pooh

I don't make a habit out of sharing my private life in my review writing, but to set the stage a bit, I thought I would offer up this tiny morsel; As a kid, I had a strained relationship with my father. Having said that, it wasn't all bad times. And in fact, I have fond memories of my dad reading me... [More]

Captain America: The First Avenger

Captain America: The First Avenger

Captain America: The First Avenger is the most entertaining superhero film of the summer and it just might be the strongest Marvel adaptation since Spider-Man 2 (even eclipsing Iron Man). Is it perfect? No. The second half of the picture doesn't quite measure up to the first half. The villain (playe... [More]

Fright Night

Fright Night

Over twenty-five years ago I was fortunate enough to visit the set of Tom Holland's original Fright Night. Little did I know at the time that this entertaining vampire flick would go on to be one of my favorite films of 1985. So, when I heard that the 80's genre classic would be getting the inevitab...

30 Minutes or Less

30 Minutes or Less

This has been the summer of the R rated comedy (see Hangover Part II, Bridesmaids, Bad Teacher, Horrible Bosses, etc.), and I'm happy to report that 30 Minutes or Less sits alongside the upcoming Our Idiot Brother as the best of the lot. Credit director Ruben Fleischer (who made the creative Zombiel... [More]

Attack The Block

Attack The Block

Cowboys and Aliens isn't the only alien invasion picture playing your local multiplex. Attack the Block is a high energy throwback to the likes of unsung 80's "aliens-on-the loose" flicks like Critters. This time the target is South London, and the potential heroes are a gang of inner city hooligans... [More]

Cowboys and Aliens

Cowboys and Aliens

Despite a few character and plot related issues, Cowboys and Aliens is a pretty old time. I suppose being at the Comic-Con premiere with the cast and crew in attendance added to the overall excitement. And while it's true, critics should be able to look through the transparent hype that sometimes co... [More]

The Beaver

The Beaver

Jodie Foster returns to the directing chair for the first time since 1995's excellent Home For the Holidays with The Beaver--a drama laced with comedy featuring Mel Gibson as a manic depressive who seeks self help advice from...a beaver puppet (which he wears on his hand for the majority of the pic...

X-Men: First Class

X-Men: First Class

After leaving X-Men: The Last Stand shortly before production was to begin, one might find it interesting to learn that director Matthew Vaughn (Kick-Ass) has come back to the franchise. Not to helm a sequel mind you but to deliver an origin story. Suffice it to say, if you're unfamiliar with the co... [More]
