No Time To Die marks the end of an era…at least for Daniel Craig as James Bond. I’m bittersweet about it because while I know the titular character of 007 James Bond will live on again actor Daniel Craig was my most favorite Bond. I have mad respect for the 007 lore and fandom, but […]

Given how 2013’s Memorial Day weekend is packed with action and comedy for adults with both Fast & Furiou6 and The Hangover Part III hitting screens everywhere, it is only right to have some counter-programming for kids and family audiences. I only wish that the film Epic lived up to its title. As it stands, […]

For my Top 10 list of favorite films from the calendar year of 2012 I decided to take the high road. What I mean by that is in these annual posts I also tend to pick on and rip apart all the films I either hated or was utterly disappointed by in the current calendar […]

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has officially announced the Blu-ray title for a May 3rd release. And best of all…it comes in two flavors, 3D and […]

When it was announced that Seth Rogen would be starring as the Green Hornet, many first asked, “Wait, who’s the Green Hornet?” The second thing asked was, “So he’s kind of like The Shadow…wait, who’s The Shadow?” But finally, people asked, “Wait, Seth Rogen is going to play a superhero?” And so he was, and now, some time later, the time of The Green Hornet is finally upon us. After many months of delays, different directors, cast members, and a post-conversion to 3D, the film stands as a potential blockbuster (even with its January release date). Fortunately, I had fun with this film overall. Unfortunately, I would simply describe it as “ok”.

Roger Ebert recently said that he couldn’t think of an easier year to predict the Academy Award winners. Sure enough, most of the pre-show claims out there turned out to be accurate with Iraq war drama The Hurt Locker taking the most heralded prize of the evening for Best Picture. Other notables include Jeff Bridges […]

I wouldn’t exactly say I’m a huge Quentin Tarantino fan. I think some of the hype about him as a director overlooks the fact that he, just like Martin Scorcese, lifts almost everything he does from other films. Of course this can turn into a long discussion about the nature of plagiarism and its place […]
