Tetro

November 15th, 2009

Tetro stars Vincent Gallo, under wraps for too long and in probably his best role since Buffalo 66. He’s Tetro, a nickname that is short for the family name of Tetrosini and the only thing from his family that he has not abandoned in his self imposed South American exile. When his young brother Bennie (Alden Ehrenreich) shows up he has a lot of questions about the family history that Tetro is ...

A Christmas Carol

November 8th, 2009

A Christmas Carol is a fresh take by Disney on the Dickens classic starring Jim Carey taking on eight roles, most notably Ebenezer Scrooge. This go-round uses the somewhat creepy animation technique of “performance capture” pioneered in The Polar Express and further refined as 3D in Beowulf. The 3D here allows the Disney folks to do what they do best – make a fable into a ride. As a ghost sto ...

The Box

November 8th, 2009

The Box is a bloated retelling of a 1970’s short story that became an episode of the rejuvenated Twilight Zone in the 1980’s. Cameron Diaz and James Marsden are Norma and Arthur Lewis, a mid seventies professional couple that even with two incomes have money issues. Their situation changes when they come face to face (or at least most of his face) with lightning strike survivor Arlington Stew ...

The Damned United

November 8th, 2009

The Damned United is a dandy little sports film set in the late sixties and early 70’s. Michael Sheen with his chameleon like talent puts in another stellar personification, this time of iconic soccer manager Brian Clough whose modest greatness could have been exponentially more glorious if it were not for his stubborn need for revenge. Ironically it was the quest for vengeance that inspired ...

Michael Jackson's This Is It

November 1st, 2009

Michael Jackson's This Is It is an amazing experience. This documentary takes us backstage to see Jackson prepare for his series of sold-out concerts in London’s O2 Arena. Despite ugly post mortem rumours about the King of Pop, Jackson did not look depressed, gaunt, or drug dependent. He did look fit and more notably he looked happy.Along with his genius at his craft, what comes to the fore i ...

October 25th, 2009

Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant gleans its name from one segment in a twelve volume series of novels The Saga of Darren Shan written by Irish writer Darren O'Shaughnessy. In truth it’s a hybrid of several of the books which all feature Darren Shan here played by Chris Massoglia.

Astro Boy

October 25th, 2009

Astro Boy has remained an endearing and enduring character since his inception in 1951 as a Japanese comic book character that spawned cartoons which became the touchstone of today’s anime. Freddie Highmore is the voice of the robot boy with super hero powers caught between the worlds of humans and androids. With doe eyes and Ronald Reagan hair he’s the exact replica of the tragically killed ...

An Education

October 25th, 2009

An Education takes us back to 1961 Britain. It’s before England was the prime shaker of the 60's swinging and Jenny (Carey Mulligan making an impressive jump from TV to the big screen) is a bright high school girl of 16 from a middle class straight laced family. Her fast track to Oxford is hijacked when she hooks up with a smooth operator several years her senior. He’s David played by Peter S ...
