StreetDance 3D

October 3rd, 2010

StreetDance 3D is yet another eyeful of krunking, locking, popping and breaking as apparently we were left wanting by Step Up, Step Up 2 the Street and Step Up 3D. This newer one dimensional 3D offering comes from Great Britain but still the story line is all too familiar with any excuse being used to bust a move and with the same end game – making it to the big dance competition in New York ...

You Again

September 26th, 2010

You Again is the latest light heated and cutely titled Disney offering. The usually stunning Kristen Bell pulls off a risky performance playing Marni who as a high schooler was unattractive and bullied and it didn’t help that her initials spell MOO. All this did not kill her and indeed made her stronger – so much so that now as a gorgeous young woman she’s on the fast track to the rarefied ai ...

The Town

September 19th, 2010

The Town takes place in the Massachusetts home town of this films star and director Ben Affleck. The suburb of Charleston has a rep as the world’s most notorious place for bank robbers and Affleck plays resident Doug MacRay, a former Boston Bruins draftee who could have been a contender but years later is a nobody caught up in the town’s well known criminal industry. His crew of four include ...

Easy A

September 19th, 2010

Easy A early on starts the eyes rolling in the here-comes-another-lame-teen-flick way but quickly brings the eyes into focus and the funny bone tickling starts shortly after that. Olive (Emma Stone) is a cheeky yet anonymous California pubic school student who clearly inherits her smarts from liberal minded and model parents Rosemary (Patricia Clarkson) and Dill (Stanley Tucci). But this smar ...

The Virginity Hit

September 19th, 2010

The Virginity Hit refers to the ingesting of marijuana from a gaudy bong set aside by four young men from New Orleans only to be used when one of the quartet has finally cast off his virginity. Three go up in smoke fairly early but Matt (Matt Bennett) lags behind and the film quickly boils down to the task of dispatching his cherry. Years before Matt was adopted into a family clearly untouche ...

Going the Distance

September 5th, 2010

Going the Distance is about Erin (Drew Barrymore) and Garrett (Justin Long) who hook up for a New York one nighter that turns out to be a care free summer fling that should have ended when Erin headed back to fall semester in California. Turns out neither wants the affair to end so a bi-coastal love affair ensues with all the typical frustrations. It doesn’t help that Erin resides with Corinn ...

The American

September 5th, 2010

The American is the screen adaptation of Martin Booth’s 1990 best selling novel A Very Private Gentleman starring George Clooney who in 2005’s Syriana beefed up to play Bob Barnes and here buffs down to play Edwards (who goes by the alias of Jack). He’s a sinewy and sullen lone wolf who seems to have driven to homicide not only some rarely vindictive Swedes but also his apparent comrades. Why ...

The Last Exorcism

August 29th, 2010

The Last Exorcism has a cast of barely knows including star Patrick Fabian as Cotton Marcus, a charlatan evangelist taking over the family ministry from a long line of bible thumpers many of whom claim to have exorcised demons. Cotton was a child preaching prodigy and although his faith is waning he continues for pragmatic reasons which he justifies on camera in documentary style. Although n ...

Hugh Hefner: Playboy, Activist, and Rebel

August 29th, 2010

Hugh Hefner: Playboy, Activist, and Rebel on the surface might almost be mistaken for a somewhat self serving legacy piece somehow funded by the iconic octogenarian but when you follow the money it leads nowhere near Hef. This documentary is funded by Canadian dollars some of which originates from Astral Media. This helps to objectify this well made film with the objectifier of women at its c ...

Lebanon

August 29th, 2010

Lebanon doesn’t have much in the way of anything Lebanese – language or gentry. It’s 1982 and the start of “First Lebanon War” routinely glimpsed claustrophobically through the periscope of an army tank manned by four reluctant Jewish conscripts. This vehicle is stencilled with the Hebrew phrase “men are made of steel, tanks are just junk”. Maybe not so much in this armoured personnel carrier ...
