I have to admit. I know it sounds cheesy, but this film really was an adrenaline rush from start to finish for me. I’m talking about the Denzel Washington/Ryan Reynolds vehicle, Safe House, that is. I actually saw it twice in the theaters. Unless it’s The Dark Knight, that’s something I usually don’t do, but [...]

Safe House has a lot of elements that should make it a pretty good watch. A first rate cast, a solid story setup, and an “R” rating earned through the use of non-gratuitous violence, are all aspects that had me excited from the trailer alone.

If Hitchcock, Agatha Christie, and Philip K. Dick walked into a bar, they could come up with the plot for Source Code, a cracking new thriller, starring Jake Gyllenhaal as a time constricted helicopter pilot and directed by Duncan Jones, who previously made the great, sci-fi sleeper – Moon. The film works as a high [...]

Up in the Air has been one of the most talked about dramas this winter and with good reason. It has a terrific cast, a genuinely funny script and features stellar performances by everyone involved. Finally there is a movie that critics and audiences can both agree on. Director Jason Reitman, who also co-wrote the [...]

Due to our flight being cancelled going out to Comic-Con, this past July, I missed out on an opportunity to meet and interview the Orphan‘s writer David Johnson. You can’t even imagine how bummed I was. Next, I missed out on seeing this movie in the theaters and all the patrons I know who went [...]
