The Adventures of Ford Fairlane
The Adventures of Ford Fairlane – UnbelievableI have a love/hate relationship with Renny Harlin. Sure he made “The Long Kiss Goodnight” “Nightmare on Elm Street 4” and “Cliffhanger” but he also made “Cutthroat Island” and “Deep Blue Sea,” so I wouldn’t call...

Cloak & Dagger
Cloak & Dagger: ImaginaryCloak & Dagger came out in 1984 (a fantastic time in movie and music history) and it holds up over all this time, even with the weak dated graphics. This is one of those films that you watch when you where younger and it sticks...

Another Earth
ORIGINALThis review will be shorter than some of my others. Not because Another Earth is not a good film. It and Inception are probably the two most ORIGINAL films I've seen in a decade. Its because Another Earth is a film that is reliant on...
The Fountain
AMBITIOUSFor as long as this film has existed, I've been led to believe it sucked. Not just by friends or critics. But by the behavior of people behind its creation. The Fountain was a passion project by director Darren Aronofsky that was originally...

Simplistic TV: Suits
UNDERVALUEDThere hasn't been a lot of great lawyer shows in a while.(I hear Damages is ok but I'm still in the process of watching it.) Probably not since David E. Kelly's show Boston Legal. I don't count any of the Law & Orders because they focus solely...

Simplistic TV: Sherlock
BRILLIANTI am a big fan of Robert Downey Jr.'s Sherlock Holmes films. That may be because I think RDJ is my favorite actor working today. However, the best version of the famous detective is definitely the BBC series Sherlock. It is...
Marked for Death
Marked for Death: SeagalIt's a Steven Seagal film, enough said...Why watch it? Because Keith David is in it!Tagline: He's a good cop. In a bad mood.Best Line: "You fuck with my family, you di...

The Dark Knight Rises (Matt's Take)
The Dark Knight Rises - ScopeGrowing up, I could give a damn about DC Comics. I couldn't relate to Superman, Wonder Woman was a chick, and I didn't have any jewelery, so screw the Green Lantern. Hell, I'll say it, I didn't even care about Batman. ...

Split Second
Split Second: ThrowawayIt's the kind of film that you see when you're a child and it sticks into you're mind till you reach age 24. You sit down one day and pop it in. It's not bad, but not good. You watched it once, so you throw it away never to be watched again...because...
Simplistic TV: The Newsroom
HEAVY-HANDEDNow let me make something clear. I love Aaron Sorkin. I love A Few Good Men. I love The American President. I love Charlie Wilson's War. I love The Social Network. I love Moneyball. I love Sports Night. I ABSOLUTELY love The West Wing. I...
Something Wild
Something Wild: SundayBy Sunday I mean if you're free on a Sunday and it rains and you're stuck inside, then this film isn't too bad to sit and watch. Jeff Daniels gets kidnapped by Melanie Griffith and they go on a adventure. Melanie robs a liquor store,...
The Dark Knight Rises (JP's Take)

Quantum Of Solace
MISUNDERSTOODNow I think Dark Knight Rises is a good film. But the real highlight for me when I saw it was the IMAX Special Skyfall trailer that played right before it. Now I love James Bond films. I especially love 'Daniel Craig as James Bond'...
The Dark Knight Rises (DJ's Take)
GRANDYou're either a Beatles man or an Elvis man. You're either a Marvel man or a DC man. Full disclosure, I am a Marvel man. That doesn't mean I hate DC. It means I was raised on Spider-Man and The Punisher and The Fantastic Four. ...

Zack and Miri Make a Porno
Zack and Miri Make a Porno - LongI consider Kevin Smith somewhat of a personal hero of mine. Not only is he not afraid to take chances (Red State) but this guy dropped everything he had into his first movie and he was successful and got the chance to keep...
Justified
CHARACTERElmore Leonard has made a career out of creating great characters. So much so, they tend to pop back up again in other stories and films from time to time. This cross film character appearance thing Marvel is doing with their superheroes...it...
The Amazing Spider-Man
DESPERATE DESPERATE to keep the property at Sony to thusly prevent a possible Spidey sighting in Avengers 2, which would thusly lead to Marvel Studios earning an estimated BAGILLION dollars. (I Rounded Up)DESPERATE to win over the hipster/Twilight audience...
Get the Gringo
Get the Gringo: EntertainingMel Gibson kinda lost it the last few years, in film and well...real life.But this film clearly shows he truly hasn't lost it, well mostly in film anyways. Gibson's acting is a gift to viewers, because when you watch...

The Good The Bad And The Ugly
MYTHICALThere are some people that don't see the appeal of Westerns...(cough! cough!)...mostly women...(cough!) There are some that think them to be boring art pieces where nothing ever happens....(cough! cough!)...women mostly...(cough!)...studies show it...(cough!...
Die Hard
QUINTESSENTIALThat budget wasting/cgi wasting/oxygen wasting Michael Bay has proven to us that anyone can do an action film. However, not just anyone can do it well. There is one action film that ALL other action films are judged to when it comes to greatest...
Lethal Weapon
Lethal Weapon: PerfectionOnly a handful of films can hold a title under, "Greatest Action Films of All-Time". Lethal Weapon is one of them, mixing the perfect blend of Action with Comedy into a fantastic 80's standout film.If you don't understand the title...
