V/H/S 2 (SIFF 2013) - Movie Review

VHS 2 is the follow up to the original film that became an instant cult classic and promises to be even scarier than its predecessor. The first VHS movie created a new twist on the found footage sub genre of horror movies by compiling several short films into one feature length movie with an overarching storyline that ties the whole thing together.

This is the End - Movie Review

Okay, seriously. Look at the poster for This is the End and tell me you don't think its going to be hilarious. For my part, all you have to do is say James Franco and Seth Rogen are in the movie and I'm down to see it. Then you throw in Hill, Baruchel, Robinson, and McBride and my expectation level goes even higher. Add in the fact that Rogen wrote and directed the film with longtime collaborator Evan Goldberg and you now have a formula for success that will not be denied.

The East (SIFF 2013) - Movie Review

Rising Hollywood star Brit Marling not only plays the lead role in The East, but she also co-wrote and helped produce the movie that has so far received nothing but high praise. Director Zal Batmanglij, who also worked with Marling in the 2011 thriller Sound of My Voice, has put together a feature film that feels just as provocative and edgy as the fictional organization it portrays.

The Kings of Summer - Movie Review

The Kings of Summer is a coming of age tale written by Chris Galletta and directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts both of whom are making their feature film debuts. Nick Robinson, Gabriel Basso, and Moises Arias play three teenage friends who set out on a mission to gain their independence, but end up learning that leaving family and civilization behind may not always be the best option.

The Hangover Part III - Movie Review

The Hangover Part III brings the wolfpack back together for another crazy ride, but this time there is no bachelor party and no one is getting married. This time around writer and director Todd Phillips sends the crew on a mission that brings all of their adventures back full circle. Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, and Ken Jeong all return to their roles and John Goodman joins the cast as a new villain.

Teddy Bears (SIFF 2013) - Movie Review

Teddy Bears is a movie written, produced, and directed, by Thomas Beatty (along with co-director Rebecca Fishman) and features a relatively unknown cast including David Krumholtz, Melanie Lynskey, and Ahna O'Reilly as well as Beatty's own father, Ned Beatty. This is more than your standard tale of love between long time friends as the concept is taken to the extreme when one member of a vacationing group proposes an orgy to help him get through a personal crisis.

Epic (SIFF 2013) - Movie Review

Now that the eco-trilogy of Ferngully, Avatar, and Epic is complete...oh wait...its not a trilogy? Oh. Well, never mind all that. Either way, Epic does fit in nicely as a kid friendly tale that contains a not so subtle message about protecting forests and having respect for nature. Twentieth Century Fox Animation continues its long time collaboration with director Chris Wedge (Ice Age, Robots) and assembles an all star cast including Amanda Seyfried, Josh Hutcherson, and Christoph Waltz.

Fast and Furious 6 - Movie Review

The Fast and Furious franchise has gone through some major changes since the first installment first became a surprise smash hit. What started as a way to capitalize on the import car culture that had captured the youth of America's attention has now become one of the world's biggest action series.

For everyone mad that the "Sonics" aren't coming to Seattle: You do realize the Sonics are in Oklahoma City and are called the Thunder now right?

What Ballmer and Hansen were attempting to do was to take the Kings and all of its history from Sacramento and bring it to Seattle.

Star Trek Into Darkness - Movie Review

The gang is indeed back together again as Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Simon Pegg, Zoe Saldana, and Karl Urban all reprise their iconic roles in Star Trek Into Darkness. Benedict Cumberbatch and Alice Eve join in on the fun this time around as the stakes are raised and the action is taken to new heights and director J.J. Abrams once again boldly goes where no one has gone before...at least when it comes to making blockbuster movies that will absolutely blow your mind.

The marketing blitz for Star Trek into Darkness is kicking into high gear as the release date is now just a few weeks away.

Trance - Movie Review

Danny Boyle has sat in the director's chair for some very memorable films including Trainspotting, 127 Hours, and A Life Less Ordinary. With Trance, he pulls together an extremely talented cast headlined by James McAvoy, Rosario Dawson, and Vincent Cassel for a wildly unpredictable trip through a high stakes criminal act and a whodunit noir experience that will keep you guessing all the way to the end.

Evil Dead (2013) - Movie Review

This new version of Sam Raimi's classic "Evil Dead" horror movie has been touted as the "scariest movie ever made" and even the poster says its the "most terrifying film" so it better be able to match the hype and live up to such lofty expectations. Director Fede Alvarez not only takes on the challenge of filling Raimi's chair, but is also credited with writing the remake as well.
