Every once and awhile I see a film that is both brilliant and entertaining. A film with intricately woven story telling, great acting, and deeply memorable scenes. I find it fascinating how...Read More>
It is not surprising to me that the best book in the Twilight saga also translated into the best film made to date. Eclipse is definitely more dynamic, with more action and...Read More>
Right when I was ready to throw in the towel on post-apocalyptic movies, I decided to give The Book of Eli a chance to change my mind on the genre. What I...Read More>
The Lovely Bones is one of those novels that just doesn't translate well to film. I read the book well over five years ago, which is a rather perfect amount of time...Read More>
Avatar is a familiar, even clichéd story, but James Cameron wraps it in the most dazzling and unique world imaginable. And while the script won't blow your mind, it's tight enough...Read More>
2012 is a three-hour disaster. Contrived dialogue, poor character development and the worst last line of a movie EVER cause this film to fail on so many levels. And while...Read More>
The Box is one of those movies that's brimming with ambitious ideas but ends up drowning itself in them. It's sad that a film with so much psychological potential could fall...Read More>
