The Artist is a brilliant and dazzling homage to Hollywood

Thursday, February 2nd, 2012

The Artist dir. Michel Hazanavicius Jean Dujardin, Bérénice Bejo, John Goodman, James Cromwell Five out of Five Stars The Artist takes a step back in time to a different age- filmed entirely in black and white, and is 99% silent.

The Ides of March… Beware of Reality

Thursday, February 2nd, 2012

The Ides of March dir. George Clooney Ryan Gosling, Philip Seymour Hoffman, George Clooney Three and a half out of Five Stars If there is anything good to be said about The Ides of March, it’s that it isn’t at all a bad film. It is certainly interesting, and entertaining, and a good way to [...]

Payne delivers again with The Descendants

Sunday, January 29th, 2012

The Descendants dir. Alexander Payne George Clooney, Shailene Woodley, Amara Miller Five out of Five Stars Alexander Payne’s new film is in much the same vein of his previous outings, beautifully-crafted character pieces that are only flawed in that their characters are also flawed.

Movie Review: Mission Impossible – Ghost Protocol

Saturday, December 24th, 2011

The one thing that needs to be said about this fourth Mission Impossible film is that finally the true appeal of the television show is begining to be seen on the silver screen. It sure took them long enough. The latest foray into a modern and revamped depiction of the loved 1960′s television show, Mission [...]

Movie Review: Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

Tuesday, December 20th, 2011

The 2nd in what well looks to be a string of movies based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s deductive slueth features Robert Downey Jr. in the titular role and Jude Law as his right hand (at times literally) man Dr. Watson. Like the prior film it is a period piece, and filled with the British [...]
