The Cobbler is the latest film from writer/director Tom McCarthy (The Station Agent, The Visitor, Win Win). It stars Adam Sandler as a shoemaker who acquires magical powers. Yes, that makes it sound like something fairly dim and fitting of Sandler’s more outlandish crop of films, but this is not a Happy Madison production. As […]

All right, its my turn. Up front, there’s a few movies I didn’t get to. I haven’t been able to get out and see Whiplash yet. Selma and Inherent Vice don’t open here in my fair city until the year reads 2015. In 2014, my little bundle of wonderful daughter was born, so like 2012 […]

It is great to go retro, when being guided by filmmakers who know what they are doing. Director Adam Wingard and writer Simon Barrett clearly have plenty of retro inspirations for their films. Having found success in the realm of genre filmmaking, particularly with their previous collaboration, You’re Next, playing as a slasher film with […]

A Walk Among the Tombstones is a nice change of pace as far Liam Neeson’s career as a B-movie action star goes. While the film may be sold as another chance to see Neeson use a particular set of skills to beat up some bad guys, it is really more of a detective story that […]

A Walk Among The Tombstones movie trailer could initially fool someone into thinking they should be expecting Taken 3. The trailer for A Walk Among The Tombstones shares some of the similar DNA to Taken with the same leading man, Liam Neeson, as well as familiar plot devices such as a tape recorder. However, the cover of Soundgarden’s “Black Hole […]
