Review: WALL-E
Disney and Pixar have an unbelievable hit on their hands with WALL-E. This fact is absolutely certain and was relatively easy to see even before the film had been released. However, after seeing it on opening day this past Friday, I can resolutely declare that it was one of the best films I’ve […]

mini Review: Children of Men
During my visit to State College this weekend, I had the pleasure of helping Hannah & Jay set up their swanky new 7.1 surround sound home theatre system. Not content with just merely the sublime beauty of wires well connected, we completed the job with a screening of Children of Men midafternoon. The […]

Review: Volver
I’m really beginning to love Pedro Almodóvar. I was a bit shakey after watching A Bad Education but he’s completely redeemed himself with Volver. I think it’s that he captured - again - the complicated female world of All About My Mother which won him my affections to begin with. But on […]

Review: Smokin’ Asses
04.23.07 | Permalink | 3 CommentsSmokin’ Asses (2007, Action/Crime/Drama, 109 minutes, Rated R)
[RT|IMDB|MC]
Did I just spell it “Asses”? Twice? Maybe that’s because for all of the big-name actors (seriously, look at that list), the movie still comes out resembling a steaming, if not popcorn-heavy, pile.
Don’t watch this movie thinking that Jeremy Piven is the star of this movie—that was my […] -

Review: Babel
Okay, so I have seriously done nothing but watch movies recently. How do the unemployed do it? Filling all of this time is really, really hard and probably more “work” than having a job! I guess I’m going to have to get the knitting bag out again. That’s neither here nor […]

Review: The Science of Sleep
Michel Gondry is an artist of fantastic talent, both as a director and a writer. The Science of Sleep, the story of Stéphane Miroux’s (Gael García Bernal) losing battle with reality, does an absolutely superb job of making you feel as though you’ve not slept in weeks. As the film progresses, the characters […]

Review: Marie Antoinette
Did you see Lost in Translation? Did you like it? If you did, consider yourself a shoe-in for Marie Antoinette because it’s the exact same ambiance just transported back 200 years and moved half a planet West. This makes it sound like the film was boring. And I won’t lie, there […]

Review: Roll Bounce
Roll Bounce (2005, Comedy, 116 minutes, Rated PG-13)
[RT|IMDB|MC]
Over the weekend we happened to stumble upon Roll Bounce on a the Cinemax channel “actionMAX.” I am not sure why it was on this channel, but we watched it. This movie proved to be entertaining enough (for the wrong reasons) to keep me from taking a much-needed […] -

Review: The Black Dahlia
A few minutes in and I had to descibe to my brother what film noir is because The Black Dahlia is a pretty excellent example of the genre. However, more generally, it’s not really an excellent movie. The characters seemed a little blank and the plot didn’t exactly come together in a grand […]
