Movie Review: “The Woman In Black” is pleasuringly frightful

The Woman in Black offers a rich horror film experience beholden of older times. Set in old England, the gothic appeal of this fright-fest will win over audiences with its flattering mix of intelligently staged storytelling along with hair-raising out-of-your-seat scares.

Daniel Radcliffe moves from high-school wizard to anguished and widowed father, Arthur Kipps, whose arrival to a remote village sparks the return of a vengeful ghost. At first we are not sure as to why Kipps is met with such [...]

Movie Review: “Chronicle” Josh Trank and Max Landis two names to watch

Poster
3.5

“Found footage” has quickly become a genre in and of itself. The Blair Witch Project led the way for franchises such as Paranormal Activity, or the controversy around last years Catfish. As with any success, variations on the original concept quickly follow. Chronicle owes its existence partially to this new grittier version of Hollywood. First time film director, Josh Trank, has taken advantage of this new trend. Telling his story through the eyes of Andrew Detmer (Dane DeHaan, True Blood), a high-school misfit whose [...]

DVD/Blu-Ray Review: “The Big Year” – great extended feature

Moviegoers were excited when all-star comedians Jack Black, Steve Martin and Owen Wilson were cast for The Big Year. Unfortunately, the film turned out to be somewhat disappointing in the laugh department. Somewhere along the line, something went wrong with this film, as it should be hilarious. Regardless, if you’re craving a few chuckles, pick up the DVD/Blu-Ray! Check out our review of the film here.

 

THE PLAYERS:

Director: David Frankel (The Devil Wears Prada) Writers: Screenplay by Howard Franklin; Based on Mark Obmascik’s book, The Big Year: A Tale of Man, Nature [...]

DVD/Blu-Ray Review: “In Time” – great in concept

When In Time hit theaters back in October, critics agreed on one thing: the concept of this futuristic film was original and fresh. Unfortunately, the execution was subpar and many were left with the feeling that the film blew its chance at something huge. Complaints also arose in the casting department, specifically Timberlake’s ability to play the classic action-hero archetype. Writer/director Andrew Niccol has produced brilliant screenplays in the past such as The Truman Show, and while this film doesn’t [...]

Movie Review: “Man on a Ledge” – Documentarian Asger Leth tries his hand at the action-thriller

poster

As the date for  Oscar draws nearer, the quality of the films being released takes a sharp dive. It is these early months of the year that always leave me pondering and scratching my head, bewildered as to how I could possibly consider “movies” a form of art. The final weeks of January and all of February are commonly referred to as the throw-away months of film. Films that leave the audience pondering the question: Why was that film not just thrown away?

The end [...]

Movie Review: “The Grey” – Liam Neeson goes hand-to-hand with a pack of wolves

poster
3.5

As I was saying in my review of Man on a Ledge, the end of January has a few surprisingly entertaining films to offer. Opening alongside, Ledge, is The Grey. And while these films are very different, they are both entertaining in their own way. Ledge is kind of what you expect, only better than you would expect in a late January release. The Grey however is an entirely different animal altogether. Part thriller, part horror, part adventure, part drama sprinkled with [...]
