Super 8 is sci-fi fantasy fulfillment at its most complete. Like the finest of wine-accompanying meals, J.J. Abrams’ sleek homage to the feel and look of the classic films directed and/or produced Steven Spielberg (the ones from my youth) is...
There has always been something special about Ridley Scott’s Legend. Too bad it never gets the recognition it deserves. Maybe, with a new coat of HD paint and a look into the Director’s Cut of the film...
It used to be, as age progressed, as one generation passed onto the next, that certain things— book, film, sport, whatever—lost their lustre. What was an eagerly awaited activity became old hat or not appropriately engaging anymore ...
The first I heard of this film was that it was gonna star that TV heartthrob from ER (that I had never seen), who had also been chosen to be the new Batman. I was not yet familiar with Robert Rodriguez and and was only just aware of...
Richard Ayoade, probably best known for his role in Britain’s The IT Crowd, accepts as his first directorial challenge, the adaptation of Joe Dunthorne’s quirky, coming-of-age novel called Submarine. A daunting challenge for ...
It’s hard to believe, but this 1984 smash started out life a gritty, straight down the line, action vehicle that ended up in the hands of one Sylvester Stallone. The muscular one had a crack at rewriting it, handed it in, and caused the studio to say ...

A movie about making movies always has a sort of bizarre allure to it and Richard Rush’s The Stunt Man, first appearing in 1980, is not a stranger to either quality. Praised and, in fact, buoyed by print critics back in the day, the film didn’t entirely ...
This is not the Green Lantern movie its fans have waited to see. Positioned in what is deemed as the “safe zone” between the surprisingly stellar X-Men: First Class and the anticipated release of Captain America, the movie – directed by Martin Campbell...
Based on the novel by Richard Jessup, Norman Jewison’s The Cincinnati Kid is as razor-sharp as the four corners on a deck of cards. Rhythmic and dynamically succinct, Jewison allows the film to breathe in the natural essence of its native soil...
If anything can be said about Quentin Dupieux’s film, know that Rubber will have you identifying with a car tire and never tiring of the puns that tread in the wake of such a statement. It’s a film where – clocking in at a crisp 85 minutes - your tolerance for ...
Pixar’s revved-up sequel of their 2006 hit film, Cars, is indeed a triumphant overhaul of a film that usually gets dismissed as the least favorite of their titles. It’s a shiny endeavor that results in the rarest of achievements in that it is actually much better ...
There’s an underdog sense of determination that hounds this low-budget production about the true life adventures of Danny Greene. Writer-director Jonathan Hensleigh's mobster movie might telegraph a bit more than it should but it is an admirable attempt...
While it isn’t the most perfect of comedies to come along in a great while, Bad Teacher is perfect in its gut-busting politically incorrect antics as one teacher robs, cheats, and swindles her way into a new set of boobalicious implants Straightforward and ...
In the over caffeinated mega-male screaming-is-acting homophobic cinema of Michael Bay, really loud explosions occur just as often as farts do and leave a lingering odor no bottle of expensive cologne can ...
