Iron Sky - Movie Review

"The world is sick...and we are the doctors."

Yes, folks the Nazi's are back and making another attempt at taking over the world! This time they are launching an attack from their hidden base on the dark side of the moon using technology they have developed for over 70 years and an army that has been preparing just as long.

2 Days In New York - Movie Review

Julie Delpy is the writer, director, and star of "2 Days in New York" which is a sequel to her 2007 effort "2 Days in Paris". This movie takes a look at how relationships and dysfunctional families can come crashing in to one another by taking a peek in to the lives of a New York couple during a very interesting point in their lives.

The Expendables 2 - Movie Review

The sequel to 2010's "The Expendables" has no shortage of gunfire, explosions, stabbings, kicks to the face, and witty banter and with a roster full of action stars unlike anything you've ever seen before, audiences will have a hard time walking away disappointed.

Sparkle - Movie Review

"Sparkle" was directed by Salim Akil and stars Jordin Sparks, Derek Luke, Carmen Ejogo, and the one and only Whitney Houston who is also credited as executive producer. Set in 1960's Detroit during the heyday of the Motown sound, this is a movie about one girl's dream of becoming a singing star, the sisters that join her in pursuit of that dream, and the mother that will do everything she can to keep her girls from making the same mistakes she made during her time in the business.

The Odd Life of Timothy Green - Movie Review

If you know Disney at all, you understand how the movies they produce tend to be heart warming stories which have at least a little magic in them. "The Odd Life of Timothy Green" follows this path in a very literal fashion as a couple who thought they may never have a child of their own is given the opportunity to meet a very special boy that will change their lives forever.

The Bourne Legacy - Movie Review

The latest installment in the Bourne series picks up roughly where the last one left off, but takes the intensity, espionage, and depth of the story to a whole new level. Writer/director Tony Gilroy, who was also a writer on all three of the previous films, was in a perfect position to broaden the scope and background of the super secret government program that created super soldiers through biological enhancements.

The Campaign (2012) - Movie Review

"The Campaign" brings together two of this generation's most popular comedians in Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis and puts them head to head against each other in a movie about politics, obscenity, greed, and just about anything else you can think of that can be used for laughs.

Total Recall (2012) - Movie Review

Everyone is familiar with the original Total Recall which featured Arnold Schwarzenegger in one of his most iconic performances. Adapted from a short story by Phillip K. Dick, Paul Verhoeven was able to create a campy science fiction adventure that really grabbed audiences at the time. Now, Colin Farrell is put in the lead role and director Len Wiseman is tasked with bringing a whole new version of the story to the screen.

For A Good Time, Call - Movie Review

Sometimes a movie you've never heard of comes out of nowhere and grabs your attention because it is just too entertaining to ignore. In the last few years, movies like "The Hangover" and "Bridesmaids" have come along and dominated the box office while redefining what a comedy can be. "For A Good Time, Call..." does a great job at exploring new territory while maintaining a great sense of nostalgia and familiarity.

The Grey - Movie Review

When I first sat down to watch The Grey, I honestly wasn't sure what to expect. The last movie I saw that was directed by Joe Carnahan was The A-Team which also had Liam Neeson in a starring role and was one of the best action movies I had seen in quite some time.

The Dark Knight Rises - Movie Review

From the first few moments of "Batman Begins", it was very clear that writer/director Christopher Nolan was setting up his vision of the caped crusader to become a spectacular odyssey that would completely change how the world looks at super heroes. "The Dark Knight" expanded on that overall theme while showing how evil and chaos could bring ruin to what was thought to be a city's greatest hope. To complete the trilogy properly, Nolan would need to bring the hero back from the depths while showing him what it means to truly become a legend.

Moonrise Kingdom - Movie Review

I'm going to be completely honest and tell you that this is the first Wes Anderson movie that I have watched in its entirety. The one other movie of his that I have watched is "The Fantastic Mr. Fox" which I enjoyed so much that I fell asleep three times and had no interest in going back to watch the parts I missed. Wes Anderson fans, you can stop looking shocked and insulted as here is my review of "Moonrise Kingdom".

The Amazing Spider Man - Movie Review

After watching "The Amazing Spider Man", the first thing I wanted to do was punch Sony in the face. No really, I even Tweeted about it.

(Follow my Twitter feed HERE!)

Right now you might be asking why I would say/Tweet something like that. Well, you know those movies that start out with some crazy scene that doesn't make a whole lot of sense in that moment, but then the movie takes you back in time and begins telling you how what you just saw is ultimately the culmination of the entire story?

Thus begins my review...

Savages - Movie Review

"Savages" is yet another example of Oliver Stone's ability to generate that uniquely identifiable visual style and how he can draw out great performances from a star studded lineup of actors and actresses. This movie is overflowing with guns, drugs, sex, all kinds of attitude, and a cast of characters that is ready to kill each other at the drop of a hat.

Grassroots (SIFF 2012) - Movie Review

"Grassroots" is a movie that tells the true story of struggling Seattle resident Phil Campbell (Jason Biggs) who, after losing his job at the Stranger, decides to become his best friend Grant Cogswell's (Joel David Moore) campaign manager for an unlikely run at a seat on the Seattle City Council in 2001. The film was directed by Stephen Gyllenhaal with an independent spirit that matches its subject matter and manages to entertain on multiple levels.

Earthbound (SIFF 2012) - Movie Review

With "Earthbound", writer/director Alan Brennan has put together a very charming and intimate science fiction story as well as a sort of tribute to the movies and directors that helped to shape his own creative mind. You feel and see the influences from from Star Wars to Superman yet this remains a very unique story that is absolutely worth watching.

Brave - Movie Review

*Review Number 100*

These days, expectations for any movie that has the Pixar name attached to it automatically comes with a set of lofty expectations as, up until recently, the studio could seemingly do no wrong with its animated feature films. Brave is yet another step forward for Pixar as it features the company's first female lead character in the fiery haired Princess Merida who defies a kingdom to change her fate.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter - Movie Review

When you look at director Timur Bekmambetov's previous efforts like Nightwatch, Daywatch, and Wanted, you instantly think he would be a perfect fit to make a movie like "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter". The examples I mentioned all have a visual style that is a ideal for a movie about how the 16th President of the United States wages a war against the undead while leading the nation towards freedom and equality.

Lola Versus - Movie Review

"Lola Versus" is a very well written and perfectly cast story about a young woman who's life suddenly falls apart just as she thinks it may have reached perfection. From this point forward we see the not so young 20-something struggle to come to terms with love, friendship, family, and most importantly herself.

Men In Black 3 - Movie Review

The dynamic duo of Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones is back in "Men in Black 3" for another turn at protecting the Earth from alien invaders. This time around they will have to go back in time to keep the future of the planet from coming to an end...and that's just the beginning!
