(Nathan M Rose) 4/7/2011 4:16 PM EDT Back in 1981, an eclectic movie, entitled Arthur, was unleashed on the unsuspecting public, starting Dudley Moore, Liza Minnelli, and John Gielgud. The film went on to enjoy huge success. Thus, it was only a matter of time until a remake was created, and that just happened to happen in the spring of 2011, by Warner Bros studios. ...

(Chris Rebholz) 4/1/2011 8:24 AM EDT Source Code stars Jake Gyllenhaal as Captain Colter Stevens, an army helicopter pilot who has been recruited by a covert government agency to assist in tracking down a terrorist who bombed a commuter train earlier that day and now plans on expanding his destruction by wiping out Chicago.The trick with this film is that Captain Stevens is being sent...

(Chris Rebholz) 3/27/2011 5:37 PM EDT Sucker Punch is a film about the power of freedom and one girl's mission to attain that goal through the power of her own will. The film is directed by Zack Snyder (300, Watchmen) and this film bears his signature mark just like those previous ones. What makes this film different is that it is a unique story rather than like his two previous films ... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 3/21/2011 2:27 PM EDT If you could access all of your brain power and all you needed to do was take one pill a day, would you do it? That's the question at the heart of the new suspense thriller starring Bradley Cooper, Robert DeNiro and Abbie Cornish.Cooper is Eddie Morra, a down on his luck writer who can't seem to get out of the rut that he has dug for himself since ...

(Chris Rebholz) 3/21/2011 10:23 AM EDT Paul is a somewhat offbeat comedy about a laid back alien who enlists the help of two enthusiastic geeky fan boys so he can return home. Sound familiar? It should because at the heart of this movie is a love of all things science fiction and alien.The film stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as Graeme Willy and Clive Gollings, two very innocent and lov...

(Chris Rebholz) 3/20/2011 10:16 AM EDT The Lincoln Lawyer stars Matthew McConaughey as a hot shot lawyer named Mickey Haller, who works out of the back of his Lincoln Town car.For years Mickey Haller has conducted his work from the back of his car, handling loads of cases defending your common criminal. Things change though when Haller lands the case of his career by defending Louis Rou... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 3/14/2011 10:04 AM EDT Kill the Irishman is a who's who of character actors. It features such names as Christopher Walken, Vincent D'Onofrio, Vinne Jones, Val Kilmer, Paul Sorvino and stars Ray Steveson. That's not to say that this makes the movie unwatchable, quite the opposite. Having all these well-known actors is what helps the movie achieve what it might not have ha... Read More |
(Marco Duran) 3/14/2011 9:48 AM EDT Charlotte Bronte's classic novel has endured as a mainstay on many reading lists and has only been gaining in popularity. Since 1910, it has surprisingly produced 18 different film versions, not to mention 8 more adaptations for television. Over the years people, including my wife, have been eagerly awaiting a definitive version. This newest ad... Read More |
(Marco Duran) 3/11/2011 10:40 AM EDT Try as he may, Robert Zemekis cannot find his way out of the uncanny valley - that deep gorge where his other forays into motion-capture like The Polar Express, Beowulf and A Christmas Carol have fallen. For those who are unaware of what this valley is, look at the "human" faces in any of those films and see if they don't creep you ... Read More |
 
(Nathan M Rose) 3/11/2011 8:13 AM EDT Every couple of years, the stars align and two large Hollywood studios end up releasing similar films within a year. In the past, it has been volcanos -- 2010-2011 has brought us alien invasions. The first one out of the gate, Skyline, was an attempt to make a glossy high-end invasion film...it failed. Enter March 2011, Col... Read More |
