DVD REVIEW: “TIME”

From Ki-duk Kim, the writer and director of 3-Iron, comes TIME, another beautiful movie about individuality and the loss and connection of love.
When a woman (Ji-Yeao Prak) feels she’s losing the interest of her lover (Jung-woo Ha), she undergoes plastic surgery to change her face in [...]

Movie Review: Fido – Bloody Funny!

Bloody is the operative word for this zombie movie spoof! In director Andrew Curries’s Fido (2006) set in 1950’s suburbia we find a world where Zombies have been tamed. This is in no way a horror movie, more a comedy with a good cast and [...]

 
WARNING:  There’s a bit of spoiler in this post.
This could be more of a rant than an actual movie review.  And really it should be a review of a 2 hour long episode as opposed to movie, because this was no movie.  (Spoiler) How in [...]

Dead Man’s Shoes (2004) a crime thriller directed by Shane Meadows tells the story of Richard (Paddy Considine), a young man who comes home from the army only to find out that his mentally disabled brother, Anthony (Toby Kebbell), has fallen in with the wrong [...]

FILM REVIEW: “WANTED”

With no real desire to see this movie, knowing how ridiculous it would be, I obliged a friend and made the trip. Needless to say, this is the last movie she’ll be picking in a while. WANTED reminds me of last years film, SHOOT EM’ UP with [...]

DVD REVIEW: “IN BRUGES”

It’s truly a cinematic outrage when a film like IN BRUGES doesn’t get the respect it rightfully deserves… in America. By far, this might be one of the best films I’ve seen this year! While one might think by watching the trailer that this film [...]

First off, I’m embarrassed I even watched “WELCOME HOME ROSCOE JENKINS”. But hey, I watch everything, so there you go. Second off, what the hell happened to MARTIN LAWRENCE? He used to be funny and entertaining. Remember Boomerang and Bad Boys, hell, even Nothing to Lose was [...]

DVD REVIEW: “FOOL’S GOLD”

When I was working on a movie last year in the Bahamas, FOOL’S GOLD happened to be shooting in the same place. When talking to crew and finding out who was in it and seeing some of the stuff they were shooting, the movie looked [...]

DVD REVIEW: “BE KIND, REWIND”

Leave it MICHEL GONDRY (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) to come up something this crazy and outlandish, but yet make it funny and endearing. Yes, BE KIND, REWIND indeed was a surprise for me, cause at first glance at the trailer I immediately thought [...]

DVD REVIEW: “FUNNY GAMES”

In the recent cinematic world of twisted psychological thrillers, none have come close to hooking my attention span or creating true unsettling moments or capture fear in such subtle ways that come in the most diabolical and evil circumstances while keeping me in constant surprise… until now. [...]

 
I’m not sure if this film was made as a favor to Harrison Ford to help his lagging carrier.  Because Spielberg was bored and needed to blow up some familiar settings, or the studies convinced him to help push Shea’s carrier, but I’m hoping it’s [...]
