‘Oblivion’ Is Gorgeous And Engaging, But Familiar (Movie Review)

To speak about Oblivion to those who have not yet seen the film and do not want to be spoiled on what is in store for them, I have to not mention the many different films and sci-fi concepts that it lifts from.  A film I can mention, in comparison, would be Prometheus.  It is […]

‘Olympus Has Fallen’ And A 90s Action Movie Rises (Movie Review)

It is funny how some movies strike me differently than others, despite their similarities.  Olympus Has Fallen has all the jingoism, xenophobia, and silliness to match awful films like Red Dawn or Red Tails.  It is also cheap and ugly enough at times to match an awful film like A Good Day To Die Hard.  […]

‘The Dark Knight Rises’ And Batman Ends

Back in 2000, director Christopher Nolan was just starting to build acclaim with his second feature film, Memento.  Twelve years later, he has now directed his third film in an ambitious Batman franchise, which happens to also be one of the most anticipated films of all time.  The Dark Knight is admittedly a tough act […]

The Dark Knight Rises (Movie Review)

When Christopher Nolan rebooted the Batman franchise with Batman Begins, I was ecstatic to see the Batman I had always imagined from the comic books come to life. Then came The Dark Knight which in my book was utter perfection in every way possible.  At now sadly, we’ve come to the end of this amazing […]

Prepare to Soar: The Dark Knight Rises (Movie Review)

You can ask anyone that knows me…go ahead…that very little in this life brings me more joy than my anticipation of the dramatic conclusion to Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight franchise.  That’s right.  If you are reading this, then somehow I survived and made it through unscathed because the only thing I have had consistently cared […]

The Dark Knight Rises – TV SPOT #4 – I’m Retired

This one was just too good not to share here.  I have been fighting the urge to post any TV trailers from the most anticipated film ever, The Dark Knight Rises, but this one surfaced yesterday beneath my nose and I just got around to seeing this gem today.  And I’m smitten with a Joker-like […]

Dolphin Tale (Blu-ray Review)

The end of 2011 brought us War Horse and We Bought a Zoo, which were films that really poured on the sentiment.  They were also films that I overall liked, mainly because their aim to be well-meaning and sweet-natured did not affect my judgment on other aspects of the films to arrive at an appropriate […]

‘Born To Be Wild’ Heartwarming to the End

Morgan Freeman has a way with words. Not only is the guy an incredible actor, but his skills in the narrative department also excel. I would be hard-pressed to name an actor or narrator who does a better job at guiding a documentary than he. Putting his vocal talents to use once more, this time […]

‘Born To Be Wild’ Is Both Beautiful and Brief

I feel that there may be too little to talk about here, as the film is both fairly self explanatory and only lasts for 40 minutes, but I will try my best.  Born to Be Wild 3D is an IMAX nature documentary from Warner Bros. Pictures, which has been shot in 3D, using IMAX and […]

Se7en (Blu-ray Review)

A decade before the incarnation of Saw, the crime thriller Seven (stylized as Se7en) “saw” its reign in the theaters some 15 years ago in 1995.  My God, has it been that long?  And honestly, I remember really liking the film, but for some reason I never revisited the film again.  Must be a lack […]

Johnny Handsome (Blu-ray Review)

When this movie was released in 1989 it I don’t remember hearing about it and I’d never seen it until now.  At the time of this movie’s release, Mickey Rourke was near the beginning of his career freefall after a decade of hits.  After this movie failed, his rollercoaster career began which is a shame […]

Invictus (Blu-ray Review)

I’ve always had a weak spot for rousing sports movies where the underdogs battle the odds and win, so I was looking forward to Invictus for that reason plus the great cast and the direction of Clint Eastwood, whom I’ve admired as an actor and as a director.  Unlike say, Rocky, Invictus is about more […]

Warner Announces Se7en (Seven) on Blu-ray!

I’m definitely going to be picking this title up.  I have not seen this one in quite sometime, but I remember truly liking it back in the day.  Like who could ever not like a David Fincher film?  I know!  Well anyway… Yesterday, Warner Home Video announced the Blu-ray edition of New Line’s Seven (also […]

‘Invictus’ a Tough Sell, But…

I was very surprised at the small turnout for the opening weekend numbers of Clint Eastwood’s latest work, Invictus.  The term ‘invictus’ is Latin for ‘invincible’ while there is also a famous poem of the same title.  Both of which have strong influences on this film starring the astounding talents of Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela […]
