Tut (Blu-Ray Review)

In the nearly 100 years since the uncovering of the tomb of Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun, the young king’s popularity has really never subsided. Though his tomb was small and hidden, it was anything but humble—adorned with gorgeous jewelry and golden trinkets as well as the immediately recognizable sarcophagus. What the creators of Tut, brought to […]

‘The Walk’ Thrills With “High-Tension” Moments (Movie Review)

Ever since I saw the trailer for The Walk in IMAX at a screen of Mad Max: Fury Road I have been enthralled about seeing it.  The weird thing though is I hate heights.  However, I’m oddly drawn to that vertigo feeling seeing a film such as The Walk on a large IMAX screen can […]

‘Exodus’ Commands Visual Grandeur, But Is Plagued By A Lack Of Emotion (Movie Review)

Exodus: Gods and Kings is an epic.  There is no way around that.  Regardless of my thoughts on the film as a whole, director Ridley Scott has made a film that is grand in scale, fully realized in its depiction of an ancient time, and littered with extras, sets, props, and obvious visual effects in […]

Stonehearst Asylum (Blu-ray Review)

Call me crazy (no pun intended), but every time I look at the title of this film, its poster art and the fact that it stars Ben Kingsley, I just get Shutter Island on the brain.  Is that fair to typecast this film instantly like that?  I don’t think it is, but I can’t help the […]

Here Be ‘Boxtrolls,’ Delightful, Stop-Motion Fun (Movie Review)

It is one thing to put out a film that is a film that shows off the hundreds of hours of work that went into crafting a wholly unique world and set of characters, but it is another thing to merge that craftsmanship with a wonderful story about identity and societal roles of all things.  […]

Ender’s Game (Blu-ray Review)

It was unfortunate to not see this film take off big, theatrically.  I was quite impressed by what I saw in theaters, given my adoration for the book, but the film could not quite connect with the masses in the same way that something like The Hunger Games has proven to do.  Based on the […]

‘Ender’s Game’ Is A Fine Speaker For The Book (Movie Review)

Ender’s Game, the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning novel by Orson Scott Card, is one of my favorite books of all time.  The concept of a film adaptation has always been an intriguing one to me, but something I had long put off as ever actually happening.  These feelings came from a younger me, but I […]

A Common Man (Blu-ray Review)

As I watched A Common Man, I wondered if Ben Kingsley knew or will ever find out what the other side of this movie looked like.  The film is a clear case of throwing all the money in a super low budget film at a big name to shoot for a couple of days to […]

Our newspapers are filled with stories about them. The airwaves announce their actions on a daily basis.

Ender’s Game Teaser Trailer Has Arrived

Ender’s Game has continued to seem like one of those things that would just never happen.  I am a huge fan of the award-winning novel by Orson Scott Card, but given the challenge that the story represents in creating a film that could really work, I can see why the film has remained in development […]
