How grim is too grim and when does it just start becoming a little humorous? Earlier this year we had a novel idea for a film in the form of A Million Ways to Die in the West. That film did not work for me overall, but the idea of making a western film that […]
There was never a question as to whether or not I was going to see Interstellar theatrically. On that same topic, there was also never even a question as to whether my first time checking it out would be in IMAX either. The only question I had unanswered throughout this whole year up until a […]
A lot of times there is an urge to compare films to other films. It may not be the best way to go about things, but it happens, regardless if one really wants to or not. I remember seeing 2001: A Space Odyssey when I was very young and being transfixed by it (regardless of […]
A wonderful, little film: Academy Award® nominee John Lithgow (Best Supporting Actor, Terms of Endearment, 1984) and Alfred Molina (The Normal Heart) star in Sony Pictures Classics’ poignant, modern-day love story, LOVE IS STRANGE, available on Digital HD Jan. 6, and debuting on Blu-ray™ and DVD Jan. 13 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. After nearly […]
I tend to enjoy seeing process be put on display in film. A lot of times that applies to crime dramas or heist films, where you see the way things play out in a wordless manner, involving a lot of the inner workings of certain activities. Love Is Strange, a film that is not remotely close to […]
I am not sure how concerned with my own age I should be when thinking about This Is 40, but I can say that I have doubts that Judd Apatow’s new film about a couple with two kids living in a mansion in LA, facing financial issues, because Paul Rudd’s record label is not doing […]

The Campaign is a silly comedy that revolves around Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis as rivals in an election, where both men are in […]
Just what the world needs…another reboot of a legendary franchise. That was exactly my sentiments when I learned about the production of Rise of the Planet of the Apes. I remember watching and enjoying the original films as a kid, but not enough to warrant my full attention to what was going on behind the […]
Here’s a movie that my jaw is still laying on the ground over and I STILL find myself grasping at straws when I try to describe just how powerful this film really is. Never in a million years would I have believed you if you told me in January that Rise of the Planet of […]
A world dominated by apes became the fascination of many back in 1968, when the original Planet of the Apes opened. The sci-fi classic went on to spawn 4 sequels, two television series, and the 2001 re-imagining of the film, directed by Tim Burton.
