Sucker Punch

(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

Limitless

(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 ...

Paul

(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...

Kill the Irishman

(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

Jane Eyre

Charlotte Bronte's classic novel has endured as a mainstay on many reading lists and has only been gaining in popularity.

Over the years people, including my wife, have been eagerly awaiting a definitive version. This newest ad... Read More

Mars Needs Moms

(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

Battle: Los Angeles

(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

Red Riding Hood

(Nathan M Rose) 3/10/2011 11:11 AM EDT
Back in 2008, an indie film director, Catherine Hardwicke, made a big splash in Hollywood with the first film in the Twilight saga. Although not liked by all, her perception of showing teenage angst and true love rocketed the film to stardom and has now become part of Hollywood lore. She tries to strike lightning twice this spring... Read More
