(Michelle Koesten) 6/13/2014 10:15 AM EDT Historically, most of us are familiar with the name Alexander the Great. Having succeeded his father to the throne at age twenty, he fought battles for power and control from his Greek kingdom of Macedonia throughout Persia, Egypt and Asia, creating one of the largest empires in ancient times.One of the latest movies about him, made by ...

(Marco Chacon) 6/9/2014 4:20 PM EDT Remakes of classic science fiction movies are usually more hit than miss because good science fiction manages a timelessness that doesn't demand a remake. Yes, special effects have come a long way—but leaving out the added stuff, did the refresh of Star Wars really help it? I don't think so. The original took us to a galaxy far, far away... Read More |
(Michelle Koesten) 6/4/2014 12:11 PM EDT Notes on a Scandal is a 2006 movie starring powerhouses Judy Dench and Cate Blanchett. The film is based on the novel, What Was She Thinking: Notes on a Scandal by Zoe Heller. Also starring in the film is Bill Nighy as Cate Blanchett's husband.In an age of scandal amongst teachers—think Mary Kay Letourneau and Debra Lafave—we ... Read More |
 
(Michelle Koesten) 5/29/2014 4:40 PM EDT Endless Love, starring Alex Pettyfer (Magic Mike) and Gabriella Wilde (Carrie), is a remake of the 1981 film starring Brooke Shields and Martin Hewitt, featuring Tom Cruise's debut, and based on the bestselling novel by Scott Spencer.The story has been told before in movies like Pretty in Pink: rich boy meets girl from the other side of the track. ...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/29/2014 2:56 PM EDT Luc Besson's latest writing effort, 3 Days To Kill blends high action with sentimental drama. Kevin Costner (Man of Steel, Draft Day) plays international spy Ethan Renner, who is literally running out of time. As a highly skilled assassin with a reputation for excellence with dangerous missions, Renner is highly sought after. But when his healt... Read More |
(Sean Ferguson) 5/25/2014 11:19 PM EDT Now, just imagine you're weightless, in the middle of the ocean, surrounded by tiny little seahorses. No matter how I tried, It still didn't come to me. It is however, hard to believe that it has been 10 years since Fox Searchlight Pictures released this little $400,000 film, which broke out and became the little film that could, raking in...

(Michelle Koesten) 5/15/2014 12:36 PM EDT The Devil's Due, starring relatively unknowns Zach Gilford and Allison McCall, was filmed in a manner that to say the least is not my favorite—found footage. The film reminds me of Paranormal Activity and The Blair Witch Project, although it is thankfully a little less shaky than the latter. Shot on what is supposedly home video and hidde... Read More |
(Michelle Koesten) 5/13/2014 11:56 AM EDT Her, starring Joaquin Phoenix, Amy Adams, Olivia Wilde, and the voice of Scarlett Johansson, is as unique as they come. The Oscar winner for Best Original Screenplay, set some time in the future, emphasizes humans' disconnection with each other in a computerized society. In the film, Theodore Twombly (Phoenix), recently separated fro... Read More |
(Michelle Koesten) 5/7/2014 10:27 AM EDT I wasn't looking forward to Son of Batman. Of course I know about Batman and have watched all the feature movies, but this was a cartoon for kids. Apparently, I was wrong on that score. This movie was definitely not like the cartoon version I remember as a kid, and it's PG-13-rating-appropriate. The style of the movie reminded me more of a ...

(Michelle Koesten) 5/1/2014 12:05 PM EDT For fans of Veronica Mars, the TV series about a teenage outcast and private detective, the long awaited film version of the television show was a long time coming. It had been seven years since the television show went off the air, and hungry fans who were longing for more of one of their favorite characters were given a unique opportunity to help...
