Friday the 13th

Friday the 13th

It's been eight years since Jason headlined his own movie and six years since he duked it out with Freddy Krueger. Now, instead of getting another sequel, the creators behind this Friday the 13th tale have opted to go back to the beginning and give the franchise a reboot. Actually, this isn't so... [More]

Push

Push

Summit Entertainment has become the key film distributor for the youthful set. Late last year, they made a killing with "Twilight", and now they're back with "Push", an action thriller starring Chris Evans and Dakota Fanning. In "Push", Evans and Fanning play individuals with special abilities... [More]

He’s Just Not That Into You

He’s Just Not That Into You

How do you know if he's just not that into you? Well, there's no easy answer to that question but I can tell you that if you drag his ass to this ridiculous movie and cop to liking it, there's a damn good chance he won't be that into you. Essentially, "He's Just Not That Into You" is an intert... [More]

The International

The International

In The International Clive Owen plays Lois Salinger, an agent committed to taking down a financial institution he believes to be involved in murder and an international arms dealing ring. Those closest to Salinger, including fellow agent Eleanor Whitman (played by Naomi Watts), aren't entirely sure... [More]

Last Chance Harvey

Last Chance Harvey

Sometimes a film comes out of nowhere and wins you over with its warmth, heart, and sheer simplicity. Last Chance Harvey is such a film. In this wonderful movie Dustin Hoffman is Harvey Shine, a commercial music composer at a crossroads in his life. Things aren't going well at work, and he fear... [More]

The Reader

The Reader

Kate Winslet had a banner year with breathtaking work in both Revolutionary Road and now The Reader, Stephen Daldry's flawed but exquisite screen adaptation of Bernhard Schlink's novel. The Reader is comprised of three distinct acts. The first act takes place in post World War II Germany and fe... [More]

The Uninvited

The Uninvited

Before reviewing The Uninvited, it should be noted that I have not seen "A Tale of Two Sisters," the Asian film upon which this Americanized remake is based. So after watching this picture through objective eyes, I have to admit - The Uninvited wasn't the train wreck I was expecting. At the very l... [More]

The Unborn

The Unborn

The Unborn is the worst kind of a horror movie. The kind that starts off fairly promising then quickly degenerates into a steaming pile of dog crap. In The Unborn, the lovely Odette Yustman plays Casey Beldon, a woman haunted by horrific visions. Many of these visions revolve around a creepy y... [More]

My Bloody Valentine 3D

My Bloody Valentine 3D

In the 80's, slasher films were being released as frequently as romantic comedies are being released today. My how things have changed. If you ask me, some of those 80's pictures were made with far more love and care. I'll take 1981's "Happy Birthday to Me" over 2008's "Fool's Gold" any day of the w... [More]

Sundance Report 1

Sundance Report 1

Has it been 15 years already? My how time flies when you're having fun. Despite what you might have heard about The Sundance Film Festival, attendance is not down. It's bigger than ever as is evident by the traffic and astronomically long wait list lines. Not that I mind all that much. It's totally... [More]

Adam's Top 25 of 2008

Adam's Top 25 of 2008

MY FAVORITE FILM EXPERIENCES OF 2008! Taking a page from the Roger Ebert play book, I've decided not to list my favorite films of 2008 numerically. Instead, I've listed them alphabetically. The truth is, I'm fond of all these films for vastly different reasons and want to encourage readers to se... [More]

Valkyrie

Valkyrie

In this labor of love project, Tom Cruise plays Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, a German war hero who leads a secret, covert mission–known as Operation Valkyrie - to assassinate Adolf Hitler during the dictator's reign in World War II. Anyone who knows their history will be well aware of this film's... [More]

Bedtime Stories

Bedtime Stories

Adam Sandler's latest movie finds the funny man collaborating with the fine folks at Disney – if you can believe that! The end result is the gentle but tepid family film Bedtime Stories. In Bedtime Stories, Sandler plays Skeeter Bronson, a hotel handy man who entertains his niece and nephew by... [More]
