I probably would have dismissed it as ridiculous and impossible. But whereas this stunning movie is a documentary (at least, that's what they tell us), I was positively blown away by it. And i...

Adam Mast Wed, 01 Feb 2012 12:46:40 +0700 http://www.zboneman.com/movies/Hugo-22192.html Hugo represents a true departure for Martin Scorsese (Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas, Casino, The Departed, etc.). This is a family movie. An honest to goodness film for folks of all ages (true, he made Kundun but that was still a film aimed primarily at adults). Not a gangster in sight. And w... Adam Mast Thu, 12 Jan 2012 20:39:12 +0700 http://www.zboneman.com/movies/The-Girl-With-the-Dragon-Tattoo-22193.html This dark, grim, cynical thriller (based on the novel by Stieg Larsson) has been meticulously crafted by the gifted David Fincher. And even though its extremely well made, I couldn't help but feel like something was missing. I guess I should be pointing a finger at the source material rather than t... Adam Mast Mon, 16 Jan 2012 12:11:30 +0700 http://www.zboneman.com/movies/War-Horse-22195.html Apparently, releasing one major motion picture this past Christmas wasn't enough for Steven Spielberg. He gave us two! The Adventures of Tintin is more of a popcorn release while War Horse represents the kind of old fashioned storytelling we don't really see much of anymore. During World War I, a h... Adam Mast Mon, 16 Jan 2012 14:29:38 +0700 http://www.zboneman.com/movies/Sherlock-Holmes-22194.html I thought the first Sherlock Holmes picture was decent, but I wasn't overwhelmed by it. This sequel however fixes some of the issues I had with the first picture. Firstly, a horribly miscast Rachel McAdams (who I generally love) is back, but she only appears in the first reel. Secondly, Game of Shad...

With Mission: Impossible--Ghost Protocol, Bird makes the leap to live action with relative ease. As Ghost Protocol opens, Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt engages in an in...

No, but Steven Spielberg's latest visual stunner is certainly in the same tradition. Based on the Herge comic book series, Tintin spins a fantastical adventure involving reporter Tintin (Jamie Bell) and his search for a sunken treasure. The boyish...

Adam Mast Thu, 15 Dec 2011 15:17:36 +0700 http://www.zboneman.com/movies/Immortals-22188.html Film-maker Tarsem Singh is a visual stylist to be sure. Watching one of his films is sort of like watching one of your favorite paintings come to life. Its too bad that his latest film is only tolerable when characters aren't talking. As the trailer suggests, Immortals plays like a combination of...

I suppose its in there, but it isn't at the forefront of the film. In this intimate drama, Ryan Gosling plays a political campaign specialist whose... Adam Mast Sun, 13 Nov 2011 18:05:33 +0700
