Full-Tilt Boogie (1997)
Director: Sarah Kelly I love love love in depth behind the scenes documentaries on movie production. With todays faster theatre-to-home video turn around though the special features discs suffer. I was looking forward to watching this, and while it is … Continue reading
Magic Mike (2012)
Director: Steven Soderbergh Writer: Reid Carolin Really enjoyable! Saw it opening night with a packed house of women in heat. Crowd seemed really into it. Soderbergh treated what could’ve been a dumb trash fest with as much class as he … Continue reading

Demolition Man (1993)
Director: Marco Brambilla Writers: Daniel Waters and Robert Reneau and Peter M. Lenkov (Story by Robert Reneau and Peter M. Lenkov) Totally dumb and illogical. Does this story makes sense to anyone?

The Red Shoes (1948)
Directors: Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburger Writers: Emeric Pressburger (Addition Dialogue by Keith Winter) (Based on a fairly tale by Hans Christian Anderson) Amazing. Required viewing. Criterion Blu-Ray looks phenomenal. The dance sequence towards the end is one of the … Continue reading

Seeking a Friend for the End of the World (2012)
Director: Lorene Scararia Writer: Lorene Scararia I really liked this. Very unique and off but with a good heart. Not quite sure I buy the leads together but I really enjoyed the message of the film. I also was pleasantly … Continue reading

Wrath of the Titans (2012)
Director: Jonathan Liebesman Writers: Dan Mazeau & David Johnson (Story by Greg Berlanti, David Johnson, & Dan Mazeau) Pretty dumb but at least it is only 90 minutes. I had pretty much no expectation based on Clash of the Titans … Continue reading

Rock of Ages (2012)
Director: Adam Shankman Writers: Justin Theroux and Chris D’Arienzo and Allan Loeb (Based on a musical by Chris D’Arienzo) Long and dull the two worst things a movie can be. Nothing of any value is said in this. The songs … Continue reading

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (2012)
Director: Timur Bekmambetov Writer: Seth Grahame-Smith (Based on his own novel) So I liked this. The joke of the movie is that it is serious. There aren’t quips or one liners or really many winks to the camera. The action … Continue reading
