Comedies these days are often hit-and-miss. You have movies like Project X, a movie that makes no effort to befriend it’s audience and instead alienates it by doing some of the most heinous things and saying some very ridiculous words, although then again, some people like that kind of stuff. [...]
There are a fair share of so called “teenage movies” out there. The ones with booze and crazy parties and, you know, the works. Among this family are films such as Superbad, Animal House, and if you forget the teen element, The Hangover. The latest installment to this fraternity of [...]
It’s been awhile since America has made a full fledged propaganda film (unless you count Top Gun). Act of Valor is unmistakeably the work of the US Government, as the military oversaw and approved the script writing process, contributed live weapons and even real-life soldiers, both on and off screen. [...]
Mediocre movies aren’t mediocre. They suck. They suck, because they do nothing to impress, but they aren’t doing anything to be overtly terrible either(i.e., Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance). This Means War does exactly that: it’s not terrible, it has some fine acting, but it’s plot and dialogue has been [...]
Let Me In By Della Nuno Vampires are a phase for teenagers-and god knows why. They’ve been around since the 1920’s, but they’ve never really gotten as much traction as they have circa 2011, when Twilight, True Blood and Vampire Diaries took the world by storm. Alas, none are as [...]
Tucked back in behind The Vine, there is a restaurant not known to many. A tavern and grill with a local flare, the Hideaway is a fairly new restaurant that has changed hands many times in the past. The Hideaway serves up delicious cheeseburgers topped with cheese from a local [...]
Found footage films have adopted a genre of their own. After the rapturous success of Blair Witch Project, then the mysterious viral campaign of Cloverfield, these movies have started to churn out weekend by weekend. Not all of these films find the Blair Witch success, though. Films like Quarantine or, [...]
Last year in cinema we were showered with the releases of bland movies and the occasional Oscar worthy film. As the end of 2011 drew near, the fear of no show stopping performances set in. That is until the world was introduced to My Week With Marilyn. The film is [...]
The movies of yesterday are often respected for what they are: spectacles that are able to tell inspiring stories with a minimum use of technology and a maximum use of “epicness”, as the stoners of our generation might say. To this degree, Steven Spielberg’s War Horse absolutely succeeds, by using [...]
For the past 100 years, films have graced the presence of mankind in order to tell all kinds of stories that tickle the human brain. A time has now emerged where filmmaking is a technique that is old enough to look back on and appreciate. This is exactly what Martin [...]
By Nat Alder Note: In lieu of giving a normal movie review, I’ve presented a no-holds barred, unflinching look at what is arguably the worst movie of the year. Enjoy! In movie history, for every good film released, there were 7 bad ones. It’s evident everywhere, the month of November [...]
Kanye West’s fourth studio album had a lot to do. Coming off of a weak previous CD and the infamous VMA incident, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy needed to prove that West is both worthy of his constant stream of self-promotion and skilled enough to compete on the evolving stage [...]
