Prepare to Soar: The Dark Knight Rises (Movie Review)

You can ask anyone that knows me…go ahead…that very little in this life brings me more joy than my anticipation of the dramatic conclusion to Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight franchise.  That’s right.  If you are reading this, then somehow I survived and made it through unscathed because the only thing I have had consistently cared […]

Love & Other Drugs (Blu-ray Review)

I’m not sure who I heard it from, but I heard some negative things about Love & Other Drugs. I had heard it was a cookie cutter chick flick where someone was sick and probably spent the movie dying.  This couldn’t have been further from the truth.  Love & Other Drugs may be a chick flick, but […]

Love & Other Drugs Has Some Unfortunate Side Effects

Love and Other Drugs is a simple romantic comedy-drama that tries to break away from its simple mold by having deeper parts of a story to explore as well as a hard R-rating. Despite these elements, the film has problems with breaking away from the traditional formula along with balancing its tone. Fortunately, both Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway bring enough talent to the film to keep it entertaining and sold on its performances. These two make a good pair and do the film a service. Still, the movie is fairly forgettable when all is said and done, because nothing much happens to create something more meaningful.

Valentine’s Day (Blu-ray Review)

What can be more indicative of a romantic comedy than the title of Valentine’s Day?  Sure it’s sappy, and sure it’s formulaic as hell, but I just can’t shake the minority feeling that when I say compared to the handful of lackluster films I have seen theatrically these first five months of 2010, Valentine’s Day […]

Dive Deeper Into Alice in Wonderland’s Rabbit Hole

This one was announced a few days back, but I wanted to get this out for all the Depp fans out there.   While I did not get a chance to catch Alice in Wonderland theatrically two of our reviewers did.  You can see their reviews here and here.  So without further ado I wanted to […]

Alice in Wonderland Not Quite Magical

I’ve never taken acid, but if I did, somehow I’d imagine the experience to run similarly to Tim Burton’s vision in his latest release, Alice in Wonderland.  The trippy film has its moments in this tale that is actually a sequel to the traditional Alice in Wonderland that we all know.  Alice (Mia Wasikowska) is […]

Happy Valentine’s Day!

What’s more indicative of a romantic comedy than the title Valentine’s Day?  Sure it’s sappy, and sure it’s formulaic as hell, but I just can’t shake the minority feeling that when I say compared to the handful of lackluster films I have seen theatrically these first two months of 2010, Valentine’s Day was one of […]
