The Company Men

(Chris Rebholz) 01/24/2011 9:52 PM EDT
The talk of recession has been topic of discussion for a few years now. After a lot of the larger corporate companies started downsizing there was a general fear among people that many Americans were going to end up jobless. Only very recently has the job market started to take something of a turn for the better, so a movie like The Company Men com... Read More

(Marco Chacon) 01/20/2011 2:05 PM EDT
Spartacus: Gods of the Arena is a Starz original TV series that is a prequel to the successful Roman era Starz TV show, Spartacus: Blood and Sand. Spartacus: Blood and Sand is going into its second season. I did not see Blood and Sand, but I had a chance to watch the opening episode of Gods and get into a web-chat with some of the major...

Season of the Witch

(Eric English) 01/09/2011 7:44 PM EDT
There are always a few movies that come out and make you wonder, "How did this get made?" Season of the Witch is that kind of movie. It opens with a hanging of three women who are accused of witchcraft. They try to convince the priest of the their innocence and of course he wont hear it. Afterwards the priest attempts to read the wom... Read More

The Fighter

(Chris Rebholz) 12/23/2010 12:30 PM EDT
Mark Wahlberg has a tendency to be type cast as the guy "from the streets" and while he has often expressed some displeasure with the kind of films offered to him there is certainly no way you can deny how well he does in these roles. His newest venture is called The Fighter, about the early years of Irish Mickey Ward and his brother, Dic... Read More

True Grit

(Chris Rebholz) 12/23/2010 12:28 PM EDT
The best way to go view the latest adaption of True Grit is as its own entity. There was the first movie with the legendary John Wayne and now there is the 21st century version with Jeff Bridges. Both versions are good representations of the book by Charles Portis. Though neither can deliver the true sense of revenge that the book delivers, but wha... Read More

Tron Legacy

(John Delia) 12/19/2010 9:32 PM EDT
Gamers and action junkies will have a treat in store with the release of Tron: Legacy a computer game plot with spunk. The fast paced adventure may be a sequel, but plays well to first timers. If there is a downside to the film, it's that adults 35+ will probably not like or even understand the storyline. But, if your ilk is getti... Read More

The Tourist

(Nathan M Rose) 12/10/2010 9:50 AM EDT
Lets get things straight first...if you are going into the Tourist thinking it is going to be a wild ride like a Jason Bourne film, then you will be sorely disappointed. The Tourist, directed and written by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, tells the story of Frank Taylor (Johnny Depp), an American tourist, who crosses paths with a stranger ... Read More

The Warrior's Way

(Eric English) 12/05/2010 6:39 PM EDT
There are a lot of good Kung-Fu movies out there and there are a lot of bad Kung-Fu movies out there. The Warrior's Way is one of those movies that could fall somewhere in the middle of those ranges depending on your point of view.The movie opens with the Yang, played by Dong-gun Jang, who is a legendary assassin/swordsman working for an obviou...
