Hit 'n Strum

March 12th, 2013

Hit 'n Strum features Vancouver as its most recognizable star and in this picture she looks absolutely stunning. The focus is on two diametrically opposed citizens and their interaction after literally bumping into on another. Mike (Vancouver native Kirk Caouette) is a homeless street busker and binner and Stephanie (Michelle Hamilton) a concrete tower high finance lawyer. As is often the cas ...

21 and Over

March 5th, 2013

21 and Over is what happens when The Hangover meets Animal House. Perhaps an honest progression since writers Jon Lucas and Scott More did the same jobs for both Hangover films. Since the Hangover 2 didn’t have nearly the gusto of the original their perspective might have been that this is a good idea since rabid Hangover fans may not have even heard of, much less seen Animal House. Maybe the ...

That mission was not quite accomplished as NBC barely let it survive two seasons. Here Lacy and Daniel Barrett (Keri Russell and Josh Hamilton) are having a tough time making ends meet for their suburban family - that includes two sons Jesse (Toronto’s Dako ...

The film stars Dwayne Johnson but if you are looking for some holdover pro wrestling machismo you are going to have to do like “The Rock” does here and keep your shirt on. Sure you can tell Johnson’s ...

Safe Haven

February 17th, 2013

Safe Haven is well defined by its bucolic (and paradoxically named) Southport North Carolina location where you’re hit with the double whammy of small town hospitality and Southern hospitality all at once - although ironically neither is dished up with a southern accent. This coastal town is home to Alex Wheatley (Josh Duhamel) a hunky but awkward widower who runs the local general store with ...
