Coming in late last year, with some small hopes at awards possibilities was Scott Cooper’s Out Of The Furnace. The Crazy Heart director followed up his Oscar winning film with a gloom and doom tale regarding a family of mill workers in North Braddock and an underground illegal gambling fight scene. The film surprisingly (in […]
Now here’s a flick thai I am personally salivating to see having missed it in the theaters. It’s a tale from Scott Cooper, the critically acclaimed writer and director of Crazy Heart, complete with a gripping and powerful drama about family, fate, circumstance and justice. Who doesn’t love a tale like that? It goes a little […]
Here’s a title I’m excited to check out since there was no press screening in my area. All I know is from the trailers, things look intense here! I did a little reading on the background of this production and whatnot so I’m eager to see the final product on the big screen, in my […]
Seeing so many good actors in a film like Out of the Furnace, which does not suggest a huge budget was in place or that there was a long, labored production (I hear the shooting schedule was about a month), gives me the idea that a lot of people responded to the script and those […]
ParaNorman was first introduced to me by a former co-worker whose family’s business (Peak Solutions LLC) just so happened to be directly involved in the production of this 3D stop-motion animated adventure film. How you say? Well they supplied/sold the many 3D rendering color printers the studio/production team used to create thousands of models that […]
First and foremost, I should say that I really dug ParaNorman. The film has quietly stood as one of my most anticipated films of the year, as it fell into the realm of having so many different things that called out to wanting me to like it, and it completely delivered. A stop-motion animated zombie […]
The title of this film, as bland as it is, certainly cuts to the chase. This is a simple heist comedy that is fairly entertaining, even as it slightly underuses the talents of its ensemble cast. Brett Ratner, a director better known for his reputation as a hack director responsible for some entertaining successes (Rush […]
There were two main reasons why I wanted to see, own and ultimately review The Killer Inside Me on Blu-ray. Anyone that knows me can probably guess the first reason with little to no effort on his or her part, Jessica Alba. Yep, that’s right ladies and gentlemen, the lovely Jessica Alba graces us with […]
A film depicting the transition that Joaquin Phoenix the actor made into Joaquin Phoenix the bearded and overweight actor. I am not sure what I would have made of this film, had I have seen it a couple of days beforehand, when it was still unsure whether or not Phoenix had truly sworn off acting, […]
Here’s a title I am happy to see announced for the Blu-ray format. The IFC film The Killer Inside Me will get the High-Definition treatment on Blu-ray this September. The Casey Affleck, Jessica Alba and Kate Hudson thriller of romance, passion and murder will hit retail shelves on September 28th. I caught this film On Demand […]
It’s been a long time since the beautiful Jessica Alba has graced me with her presence on the silver screen. Gerard is rolling his eyes at me right now. Valentine’s Day just doesn’t count. Well anyway, SHE’S BACK! Better than ever? Well, I’m counting down the days until June 18th to find out for myself. […]
