G.I. Joe Retaliates
G.I. Joe is truly “A Real American Hero.” Especially in this sequel. The producers actually did what was done with the Transformers franchise – make a good action flick around a set of toys. Don’t get me wrong. The movie is ridiculous, but in the best ways possible. Needless to say I’m looking forward to [...]

Player Hating: A Love Story
MOVIE REVIEW Player Hating: A Love Story How can a middle-class, white woman review a film about the hip-hop, projects, poverty and violence, without sounding judgmental and terribly sheltered or worse, guiltily apologetic? I guess the same way filmmaker Maggie Hadleigh-West shot the film, by allowing the people to tell their own story. In written [...]
Another Earth on Blu-ray
Another Earth: Seeing the previews for Another Earth, I was drawn to the premise of a young woman who’s given second chance in making up for a tragic mistake. What made this more intriguing was the discovery of an alternate earth, it seemed like a perfect entry for an existential science fiction drama without teen [...]

Inception
Next week you know where I’ll be, at the IMAX watching Inception! This summer’s been lacking in blockbuster sci-fi and fantasy films since the release of Avatar (not a fan by the way). Chris Nolan along with JJ Abrams are putting out the best films in the Sci-Fi genre right now. With Inception folks are [...]

Batman: Gotham Knight A Review
With the opening of The Dark Knight still a week away, I needed something to hold me over until it’s arrival. Gotham Knight the Animated DVD was a clear cut choice. It’s 6 chapters chronicling Batman’s transition from novice crime fighter to The Dark Knight. With appearances from Villains Killer Croc, The Scarecrow, and Deadshot, [...]
Film Review: The Incredible Hulk
After the hearing the disappointing reviews for Ang Lee’s version of the Hulk I was a bit skeptical about them reinventing an already damaged franchise. From the opening title sequence I knew Marvel was taking the Hulk in the right direction, one that represents earlier parts of the comic and the television series that made [...]
Indiana Jones:Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Click for Official Website George Lucas remains out of touch with why audiences fell in love with his movies. The 21st Century Lucas has lost focus, adventure and imagination. The plot for Indy and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull lacks all of the above. Harrison Ford is infallible as ever. However, he struggles with [...]
