Employee of the Month

Employee of the Month

Cruel punishment and just awful. Where do I begin? Dane Cook can't be 40 years old, can he? Well, Cook is photographed as if he's 40. Because Cook is so old, unshaven, and with horrible hair which is supposed to make him look younger, his supporting buddy cast must be even older. Cook's rival? Nasty... [More]

The Last King of Scotland

The Last King of Scotland

Bullied by his biological father, young Scottish doctor Nicholas Garrigan (James McAvoy) decides to go to Africa on a petulant - spin a globe and go where it lands - whim to do good and infuriate his parents.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning

If you are over 35, stay home. But you already knew that. If you are a fan of teens-meet-torturers horror movies, and you have a shrine to Leatherface, this prequel does his family name proud. Yes, I saw and liked the 2003 remake of the 1974 "Texas Chainsaw Massacre." The original terrified me –... [More]

Gridiron Gang

Gridiron Gang

Gridiron Gang is the second football flick to open in the last month, but this Rock vehicle isn't nearly as rousing or effective as Disney's Invincible. Odd considering this movie feels more important at the surface. Gridiron Gang is the true story of Sean Porter, an officer from a youth correc... [More]

The Guardian

The Guardian

The Guardian is a formulaic picture to be sure, but it's much better than the coming attraction trailer might have you believe. Fusing themes made popular by films like Back Draft, The Perfect Storm, Top Gun, An Officer and a Gentleman and Men of Honor, this look at Coast Guard training proves to be... [More]

School For Scoundrels

School For Scoundrels

School For Scoundrels is a dopey comedy that sort of mixes the themes of Hitch with the plot structure of Anger Management, but rather than going for straight laughs, director Todd Phillips (Road Trip, Old School) and his screenwriting partner Scot Armstrong attempt to throw in a little bit of bite....

Jackass Number 2

Jackass Number 2

Jackass Number 2 is a perfectly fitting title for this shocking, hilarious, in your face follow-up, particularly given the rather large amounts of fecal matter that appear throughout the film. To give away of the ingenious (and in most cases, repulsive) stunts would be to deny you the audience t... [More]

The Last Kiss

The Last Kiss

The Last Kiss is based on an Italian film from 2001, and while I didn't see the original, I found this Americanized version incredibly observant and, at times, extremely uncomfortable to sit through. The Last Kiss weaves it's tale of relationships in very much the same way Crash spun it's tale... [More]

All The King's Men

All The King's Men

All the King's Men will not be a film without its many detractors. Some will present convincing cases that this renovation is somewhat tepid and toothless, compared to Robert Penn Warren's 1946 Pulitzer honored novel (which was subsequently made into a much more energetic indictment of a film by Rob...

Fly Boys

Fly Boys

"Based on a true story." "Inspired by a true story." Prominently displayed, one would surmise to incline the audience toward patriotic zeal. Just the sort ofinsurance that is a tacit understanding that if for some unGodly reason you don't care for the film, you're unquesionably un-American. These mo... [More]

Factotum

Factotum

Factotum is a movie based on a book, that's loosely based on the shiftless life of Charles Bukowski who wrote the book. The book was adapted for the screen by the film's director Bent Hamer, who does an apt job of capturing his whiskey-soaked, check-to-check lifestyle. A man cursed by his gift for w... [More]

Feast Premiere

Feast Premiere

A "FEAST" FIT FOR A KING! I've been anxiously awaiting Feast for a long time. Readers of Zboneman.com are well aware of my affinity for the horror genre. It's been a long road for the latest feature spawned from the spectacularly entertaining reality show/film making competition Project Greenlig... [More]

The Illusionist

The Illusionist

Here it is the days of September, typically the time when films that could'nt make the summer roster get dumped, and yet I've just seen one of the years best films. With the package we also get a significant comeback performance by Edward Norton, who stars as Eisenheim, the title character. Norton's... [More]

Feast

Feast

Okay, right off the top we need to address certain urgent matters. Feast is a very cool, good time of a horror film that you have to see this weekend for reasons I'll go into in just a second. It's one of those infectious, horror howlers with plenty of fiendish guffaws and gore galore. Right near t... [More]

The Black Dahlia

The Black Dahlia

Ellroy was right. Perhaps now silenced since the studio check has cleared, it is not only Josh Hartnett who is miscast. De Palma had us laughing. Hartnett, another casualty of Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay (The Twin Warlocks of "The Ben Affleck Curse"), was recently showcasing that a stint in Ac... [More]
