The Express

October 11th, 2008
The Express is an apt nickname that is never really spoken in this biopic but eventually becomes a newspaper visual as the best way to headline the college gridiron feats via the feet of 60’s Heisman Trophy winner Ernie Davis (affable Rob Brown). This elevating story of a poor kid with a prominent stutter who exploited his speedy talent is truly inspirational but it might not have happened wi ...

City of Ember

October 11th, 2008
City of Ember is a subterranean village which was engineered as a place for human salvation by a previous and obviously advanced civilization that met some unexplained cataclysm. Their planned means to recolonize the world got lost over the decades and the city is falling into disrepair.

Flash of Genius is that defining moment of inspiration that occurs in someone’s life that leads to a significant step forward for mankind. The burden of proof of this can be oppressive. Take the lengthy case of Dennis Kearns (Greg Kinnear who has just about attained the loveable everyman status of Tom Hanks and Jimmy Stewart). Anyone who has driven in the rain lately owes him a debt of gratit ...

Appaloosa takes us back to the post civil war Wild West where former soldiers Virgil Cole (Ed Harris) and Everett Hitch (Viggo Mortensen) are now soldiers of fortune looking for towns in need of law and order for a hefty price. They find exactly what they want in the dusty hamlet of Appaloosa where the sparse population is recently down by one sheriff and two deputies who never came back afte ...

How to Lose Friends & Alienate People

October 3rd, 2008
How to Lose Friends & Alienate People is based on Toby Young's memoir of the same name and features British comic actor Simon Pegg again making inroads with an American audience. This time he transplants himself in the USA courtesy of an offer he can’t refuse. He can’t refuse because one of his employees has left and he owns the office fax machine. Figg plays Sidney Young a hard hitting jou ...

Religulous

October 3rd, 2008
Religulous  is a documentary that puts organized religion under satirical scrutiny. Who could imagine that the irreverent topical comedian Bill Maher would be the driving force both in front and behind the camera? Teamed up with Borat director Larry Charles, before making the sober point that we’ll never see salvation until we turn our backs on the Salvationists, there’s a lot of laughs as Ma ...
