Beautiful Creatures

February 13th, 2013
Beautiful Creatures is sort of a Twilight “light” production that never the less has attracted the highly skilled talent of Jeremy Irons and Emma Thompson. They take great delight in steeping themselves in evil while masking their natural aristocratic British accents with a genteel southern drawl. They’re also working with some impressive newcomers including Alden Ehrenreich as Ethan Waite wh ...

Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters

February 5th, 2013
Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters takes us a decade and a half past when these famously  abandoned waifs made a fiery exit from a dinner engagement at that gingerbread house where their spell binding host planned the menu with these two as the main course. Something like that could significantly jaundice you opinion of Wicca and in their case indeed it has. No longer children, Hansel (Jer ...

Warm Bodies

February 1st, 2013
Warm Bodies takes us into the near future when some kind of zombie virus has infected the major populace of probably the world, but certainly one unnamed Superdome city underneath at least one flight path. Here military rule under general Grigio (John Malkovich) keeps the untainted behind a walled barricade but necessity often forces foraging parties to venture past the fortifications for nee ...

Stand Up Guys

February 1st, 2013
Stand Up Guys are usually underworld criminals who take the fall for a crime and keep their mouths shut so no one else involved ends up in jail. Here however you might be forgiven for thinking that Al Pacino and Christopher Walken are stand up guys doing comedy and not illegal activities especially since they appear to be doing spot on impressions of Al Pacino and Christopher Walken respectiv ...

Promised Land

January 6th, 2013
Promised Land has multi-national Global Corps crack salesman Steve Butler (Matt Daman) - along with trusty side kick Sue Thomason (Frances McDormand) - making quite a name for himself while climbing the corporate ladder. Steve is a master at duping rural residents sitting on shale deposits rich with natural gas into selling their properties mineral rights for rock bottom (so to speak) prices. ...

Not Fade Away

January 6th, 2013
Not Fade Away is a story from writer Director David Chase nestled within those halcyon days of Rock and Roll from just before the Beatles to just after the Summer of Love. From the clipped editing clearly he had a lot to say about that era and not nearly enough time to say it all. Anyway, before the British Invasion Douglas (John Magaro) had a good relationship with his working class parents ...

In a fairly literal presentation of the original story ex convict Jean Valjean (Hugh Jackman) has his heart, hardened by a travesty of justice, softened by a kindly priest. H ...
