The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is one of those films that really defies description. It simply has to be seen in order to be truly appreciated. It's a small, independent picture with a great big heart, and after it was over, it really stuck with me. Based on a true story, this intimate piece... [More]

Jumper (Adam's Take)

Jumper is a relentlessly silly thriller from Doug Liman, the director of The Bourne Identity and Mr. and Mrs. Smith. The weird thing is, it's strangely watchable if you don't read too much into it. Hayden Christensen is David Rice, a young man with an extraordinary gift. As a teenager, David di... [More]

U2 3-D

U2-3-D is one of the greatest concert films of our time. It ranks right up there with the likes of The Last Waltz and Stop Making Sense. Being a massive fan of U2, there's certainly a bit of bias to that statement, but the fact remains, this is one hell of a breathtaking movie. Culled from seve... [More]

Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days & 30 Nights

I saw Sebastian Maniscalco open for BB King & Al Green at Hard Rock Hotel last September. He was brilliant and hysterical. BB's audience was elderly and the acoustics were awful but Sebastian heroically plowed through. The Joint has some VIP seating somewhere upstairs but I had a standing room only... [More]

Penelope

You are only ugly if you are poor and a nobody. Remember old man Aristotle Onassis? He brought a wife who was the most famous woman in the world. (Jacqueline Kennedy's friend Eileen Slocum said: "He resembles a frog.") What about morbidly obese (and lady's man) Mexican artist Diego Rivera? Christina... [More]

Untraceable

The new thriller Untraceable isn't horrific, shocking, or tense enough to be ranked with the likes of Hostel – a film I find myself defending far more often than not - and it isn't classy, smart, or scary enough to be mentioned in the same breath as the film it most shamelessly borrows from, Silence...

Rambo

After dusting off the boxing gloves for last year's rousing Rocky Balboa swan song, Sylvester Stallone brings back another iconic character from his superstar past. Rather than toning down the proceedings, as Bruce Willis did last year with Live Free or Die Hard, Stallone opts to amp up the carnage... [More]

Margot at the Wedding

Love not only hurts, it rips, shreds, tears and devastates. But family doesn't always mean love, just the people you're stuck with from birth to death, in a blood relationship that sometimes draws blood. The film explores the dynamics of two sisters, Margot (Nicole Kidman) and Pauline (Jennifer J... [More]

The Savages

The Savages explores a subject that hits way too close to home for many adult children; having to care for aging parents. For most children that come from a loving home, it is natural for the parents to want to nurture and care for their child as they grow into adulthood. But when the tables are tur... [More]

Cloverfield

During the madness that is the Sundance Film Festival, I somehow managed to find the time to take in a midnight screening of this much talked about flick from J.J. Abrams. Has the new monster movie Cloverfield re-invented the genre as we know it? Does it live up to the enormous hype that began g... [More]

Mad Money

After regal cleaning lady Bridget (Diane Keaton), ghetto mom Nina (Queen Latifah), and 70's flower child Jackie (Katie Holmes) rob the Federal Reserve Bank of a billion dollars in ones, they go off and capture Osama bin Laden. Hey, it doesn't take a genius to rob the Federal Reserve Bank. All you... [More]

The Orphanage

The Orphanage is a wonderfully atmospheric ghost story that owes just as much to Steven Spielberg as it does to gifted producer Guillermo del Toro. While visually the film pays homage to the likes of Devil's Backbone and Pan's Labyrinth, there's also a healthy dose of Poltergeist and Close Encounte... [More]

Sweeney Todd (Adam's Take)

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is an amazing piece of work. Based on the beloved musical by Stephen Sondheim, this big screen adaptation has been brought to blood soaked life by the gifted Tim Burton, a film maker whose sensibility is all but tailor made for this particular sour...

Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem

Alien Vs. Predator: Requiem makes me yearn for the days of Paul W. Anderson's first Alien Vs. Predator film. That first installment was by no means a masterpiece. In fact, it was downright mediocre. But when stacked up against this R rated shit-fest from the Strause Brothers, Anderson's tame, PG-13... [More]

Atonement

Atonement is one of the most praised films of the year, but if you ask me, it's somewhat overpraised. Sure, director Joe Wright is a visual stylist and he has plenty of cinematic tricks up his sleeve, but the film never quite reaches the emotional level it aspires toward. If Christopher Hampton's ad... [More]
