(Chris Rebholz) 11/7/2010 2:16 PM EDT Animation is an excellent tool for bringing our greatest fantasies to life. In that world our characters can truly defy gravity, face outrageous villains, or go to places unimaginable. This is the case with the movie Megamind. It is the latest venture in the animation world using the age-old hero vs. villain storyline. Will Ferrell and Brad Pi... Read More |
 
(Chris Rebholz) 11/7/2010 2:15 PM EDT What would you do when faced with a desperate situation? Would you be able to make the ultimate sacrifice to ensure your survival? These are the questions that come up while you watch 127 hours, the new movie starring James Franco and directed by Danny Boyle. The movie opens with our lone hero Aron Ralston, played by Franco, setting out extrem... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 11/2/2010 3:24 PM EDT There are few great love stories in the world. When it comes to movies most romantic stories barely register on our radar. It is not an easy thing to create dialogue that doesn't come off stale or melodramatic. Such is not the case of the classic Shakespearean story of Romeo & Juliet. There are few who could say that they do not know the story.... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 10/29/2010 2:07 PM EDT Moulin Rouge was received with mixed reactions from audiences when it came out. Some felt it was to flamboyant to be taken seriously, while others said it was a "Romeo & Juliet for the twenty first century." The movie was directed by Baz Luhrman who also directed Romeo & Juliet back in the 1990's and it bears his signature style.&... Read More |
 
(Chris Rebholz) 10/27/2010 8:31 PM EDT The Robocop movie, when originally released was quite successful in the theaters. It did well enough that it went on to spawn two sequels. On the surface the film comes off as your standard action film; a tough as nails hero against seemingly impossible odds. What some viewers may not notice right off that bat is the subtle message about the overwh... Read More |
 
(Chris Rebholz) 10/19/2010 6:28 PM EDT Jonah Hex is a classic tale of revenge told through the landscape of the Old West. At least that's the tale that was printed in comics. To put it simply, Jonah Hex was born in the early 1800's to a father who sold him into slavery at a very young age. He ended up working for a tribe of Indians and slowly earning their respect. After taking part in ... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 10/17/2010 11:08 AM EDT The Exorcist is quite possibly the scariest movie of all time. It would be hard pressed to find those out there who feel differently. Even if that were the case they would at least have to acknowledge the fact that it set the bar for what horror is about. The movie itself isn't just gore and splatter on the screen. It brings also a sense of tension... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 10/15/2010 3:48 PM EDT Who hasn't seen The Hangover? It was a surprise hit of 2009 and went on to become one of the most celebrated comedies in movie history. Who would have thought that a movie about 4 guys who go down to Vegas for a bachelor party, lose the groom, and spend the rest of the movie trying to find him would become as popular as it did? There are even r... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 10/7/2010 9:57 AM EDT Some movies don't hit the mark the second they hit the theaters. For whatever reason people just don't gravitate towards, it could be the trailer, the actors in the film or the plot, but it just never gets off the ground the way it should. What ends up happening sometimes is that same movie will develop a following after the Blu-ray release and slo... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 10/6/2010 11:14 PM EDT There are a lot of movies right now about vampires. So much so that it is difficult not to feel overwhelmed by all of it. So it is refreshing to find a movie that steps a little bit out of the standard vampire myth and instead gives us a commentary on relationships. Let me in was originally a Swedish movie about a young boy whose neighbor, a young ... Read More |
