‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Review(2)
The lights came up on JJ Abrams’ second foray into Star Trek and I didn’t want it to be over. The credits began to roll, and I want to see more. After his massive success in rebooting and changing the very nature of the established Star Trek universe, the only question floating around was could ...
‘Iron Man 3′ Review [SPOILERS!!!]
The first film of Phase 2 is finally here after almost a year of hype, and Iron Man 3 delivers on most of our expectations. It’s a great step forward from where the Iron Man films stood before The Avengers blew Tony Stark’s mind, and with that brings a different feel to the film as ...
QUICK REVIEW: ‘Olympus has Fallen’
One of the best things about our first installment this year of White House terrorist attack movies is that Antoine Fuqua’s Olympus has Fallen is exactly what it sets out to be. The film doesn’t try to go any deeper than a former Secret Service agent (Gerard Butler) fighting through an utterly destroyed White House ...
‘Oblivion’ Review
Tom Cruise’s latest film, Oblivion, promised us quite a few things that it eventually was barely able to deliver on. The film was marketed as a post-alien invasion Earth where Cruise and his partner (Andrea Riseborough) were the only ones left to “mop-up” before leaving for a new home… or are they? It would be ...
Twisty ‘Trance’ for niche audience
WARNING! Plot Spoilers Ahead! Recently, Danny Boyle has moved more mainstream with Slumdog Millionaire, 127 Hours and last summer’s Olympic Opening Ceremonies. For Trance, the style, rhythm and overall techniques that catapulted him onto the British directorial forefront are employed again. Trance feels very much like Shallow Grave in the way it connects the audience ...
QUICK REVIEW: ‘Trance’
One of the things I really enjoyed about Danny Boyle’s Trance was that it felt like one of his original films, the ones before Slumdog Millionaire. Boyle was clearly going back to his roots for this one, with the premise and actual story of it really requiring some of the original Danny Boyle magic. Trance had ...
The Not so Great and Powerful ‘Oz’
Upon seeing the trailers for Sam Raimi’s Oz the Great and Powerful, one thing was very clear, it was going to be a very pretty film. Unfortunately for Raimi, that’s about all it was. Oz was a film dependent upon special effects and the nostalgia of the original Wizard of Oz. Raimi used the same ...
‘Cloud Atlas’ Reveiw
When it comes to analyzing a film like Cloud Atlas, it has to be acknowledged that it cannot be thought about in the same way as your everyday film. It look me a while to decide what I thought about the film because it wasn’t what I was expecting from it. I walked out of ...
QUICK REVIEW: ‘Cloud Atlas’
Finally got the chance to see Cloud Atlas, a film that has torn the world of film criticism in two. Some like it, others don’t. I’m going to have to sleep on this one deciding how I feel about it, because it is such a complex film. The themes running through it and connecting each ...
‘Wreck it Ralph’ Review
The only thing I continue to love about Disney computer animated movies is their unfailing cuteness. Wreck it Ralph adds a great element of nerd into the mix as well, which makes for a great premise. The gaming universe behind the games themselves is a very clever creation, and I found myself enjoying the beginning ...
