Hot Tub Time Machine

(Nathan M Rose) 04/04/2010 8:58 PM EST
When I first heard about Hot Tub Time Machine, I was a bit skeptical. Adam (John Cusack) has just been dumped; Lou (Rob Corddry) is a hopeless party animal; Craig (Craig Robinson) is a henpecked husband, and Jacob (Clark Duke) does nothing but play video games in his basement. But they get a chance to brighten their future by changing their past af... Read More

Clash of The Titans

(Nathan M Rose) 04/03/2010 12:01 AM EST
During the early 1980s, cinema saw a resurgence of the fantasy genre -- including such classics as, Conan The Barbarian and Clash of the Titans. Now in 2010, Legendary Pictures, in association with Warner Bros, brings the fantasy film back to life with a remake by The Incredible Hulk director, Louis Leterrier. The ultimate struggle for power pins ... Read More

Repo Men

(Marco Chacon) 03/21/2010 6:27 PM EST
Repo Men takes us to an ultra-dark, cyberpunk future where it appears everyone needs artificial organs that sell for astronomical amounts of money. When you can't pay up, the repo-men comes for your heart, kidney, or lungs, and cuts it out of your twitching body -- leaving you to die. Instead of foreclosing on your house, they foreclose on your... Read More

Up in the Air

(Marco Chacon) 03/21/2010 5:36 PM EST
I feel like I know George Clooney because he always plays the same guy. Okay, maybe that is not literally true -- see Burn after Reading -- but, just being realistic. He plays the serious corporate bad-ass. He is slick talking, sarcastic, and looks good in a suit. You are drawn to his charisma only to be dashed on the ... Read More

A Serious Man

(Marco Chacon) 03/18/2010 4:53 PM EST
The Coen's, A Serious Man, packs a punch like a Kafka story – it is dark, the main character suffers, and there is no explanation or redemption. As it is well made, if that is your cup of tea, you will like it. The story takes place in the late 1960's where hapless professor, Larry Gopnik, finds his world falling apart. His wife annou...

Green Zone

(Nathan M Rose) 03/15/2010 1:31 PM EST
From the studio, director, and actor that gave your the Bourne series, comes their latest collaboration, Green Zone. Matt Damon and director, Paul Greengrass (The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Ultimatum, United 93), re-team for their latest electrifying thriller in "Green Zone". The film is set in the chaotic early days of the I... Read More

Apocalypto

(Marco Chacon) 03/10/2010 10:42 PM EST
I have to admit I was a bit suspicious of this from the start. In fact, I do respect the making of The Passion of Christ. It's a powerful story, and Gibson's brand of historical accuracy takes some guts to pull off. It is also important to be able to separate motive and intent from art; analyzing things without authorial intent is a valid a... Read More

Sunshine

(Marco Chacon) 03/08/2010 11:38 PM EST
Sunshine is a British science fiction film showing the sun is starting to die. A team of astronauts is sent with a massive bomb to try to reignite it. For a movie that focuses its energy on being smart, this sounds pretty dumb. How can any terrestrial bomb reignite a star? The answer is, "it can't", and the team knew... Read More

Alice In Wonderland

(Nathan M Rose) 03/03/2010 7:53 AM EST
One of 2010's most anticipated films, Alice In Wonderland, arrives in theaters this Friday, March 5th. Directed by Tim Burton, this new Alice In Wonderland film has Alice returning to Wonderland as a 19-year-old, reuniting with her childhood friends: the White Rabbit, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, the Dormouse, the Caterpillar, the Cheshire Cat, a...

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief

(Marco Chacon) 03/01/2010 9:32 AM EST
After it was established that Harry Potter was wildly popular, one would speculate someone was dispatched to the children's section of the bookstore to see what else they could option. Certainly, the formula is pretty well established: take a popular children's series and give it the deluxe CGI treatment and consider that your casting... Read More
