A few years ago audiences were treated to RED, a film based off a not-very-well-known comic, which centered on the idea of a retired CIA agent getting back into action. While the film was nothing like its comic counterpart, it got by on its playful sense of humor, fun cast, and the fact that it […]
I wonder how many of my reviews for Pixar films begin with how I approach their studio with a lot of faith, given their track record.

If you’re not familiar with Ms. Taymor then let me reacquaint you with her style. She had previously written and directed Titus, Frida, and Across the Universe. The Tempest marks her fourth […]
After a year long delay, The Debt has now arrived in theaters. While at one time thought to be a possible Oscar contender, it now seems that it has been dumped into the end of summer release period. While this is not something that necessarily matters in relation to my thoughts on the film, the […]
