The Victorian boys are back in town. Sherlock and Watson are back and this time they are wrapped up in a deadly game of shadows, as the threat of Professor Moriarty looms in the background. The first film, from 2009, turned out to be a lot of fun, given the new take on the character […]
With Contagion, acclaimed director Steven Soderbergh moves away from his more obscure arthouse fair and back into more mainstream film territory. The result is a procedural-style thriller geared towards adults and it is plenty effective in having the surrounding audience be weary of anyone who coughs near them after having seen the film. Using a […]
I left the theater after seeing Contagion with many thoughts on my mind. They ranged from global epidemics and government cover-ups to animal cruelty and issues of morality. Contagion opened your eyes to all the questions regarding the BIG IF. What IF this really happened to us? I’m referring to a widespread, global virus epidemic, […]
Stanley Kubrick has already been documented as one of the greatest directors that ever lived, and Steven Spielberg is considered by some to be one of the greatest living directors of all time. What would happen if both of these world class directors teamed up to make a movie? A.I. Artificial Intelligence would be that […]
Save the date kiddies, because according to our friends over at Paramount Studios, Steven Spielberg’s science fiction epic A.I. Artificial Intelligence is set to officially arrive on Blu-ray April 5th. We know that the release date for A.I. Artificial Intelligence has been bouncing around for sometime. Rest assured that this is the UPDATED official release […]
Here’s another title I unfortunately missed during its theatrical run earlier this year. Thank God for the Blu-ray format! There’s nothing like experiencing a movie for the first time on Blu-ray I always say. Ready for a futuristic action thriller starring Jude Law and Forrest Whitaker? Well ready or not, here the Repo Men come! […]
It still holds true, after my Blu-ray viewing last night, that I generally like movies more the second time around. So why would last night’s viewing of Sherlock Holmes on Blu-ray be any different? I’m not going to lie and say that I fell head over heels in love with the film concurrently with my […]
At last year’s San Diego Comic-Con, Director Terry Gilliam (Monty Python and the Holy Grail) appeared with actor Verne Troyer to promote the completed production of The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus. The film stars acting legend Christopher Plummer as Dr. Parnassus, Lily Cole as his daughter (Valentina), Verne Troyer as Percy, Andrew Garfield as Anton, […]
Even if I used terms such as clever, bright, ingenious, adept, cunning, discerning, quick-witted, resourceful, shrewd, versatile and keen, I could never come close to describing the attributes of the fictional character Sherlock Holmes. And to think, I once thought the television character MacGyver was the most brilliant and quick thinking man I ever known.
Disappointment is a feeling no one enjoys, especially when it comes to a movie with a good deal of positive buzz surrounding it. So, when it comes to Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes, a film boasting a great cast and director, it is even more of a let down. Not to be mistaken, Holmes is an […]
Making his Comic-Con debut in 2009 was accomplished writer and director, Terry Gilliam. Not familiar with his work? I’d bet the farm that you are so let me connect the dots. Gilliam has worked on such films as Life of Brian, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and what will go down in film history […]
