THE SKIN I LIVE IN, Deliciously Bizarre
This film gets so incredible that it’s perfect for mainstream and fans of the “bizarre” alike. It’s…
INTO THE ABYSS, A sinking attempt at a hot topic
I’m not really fond of evaluating films based on political questions, religious beliefs or social values so…
ANSWERS TO NOTHING, meaningless entertainment
Here’s an attempt to make a film where the audience has to get involved with many characters for an ending payoff. One problem with the movie, the title says it all, Answers to Nothing. Taking a shocking event and building a story around it can be very entertaining, but not if it gets overly complicated and that’s what happens in the film.
CHILLERAMA, it’s horrormania on Blu-ray
We all know what a horror flick’s effect has on the brain, but how about a gory one that’s made with a comical tone. Just arrived on Blu-ray/DVD, Chillerama, a campy weird and fun take on some of our beloved terror films. It’s hysterically ridiculous, and that’s a good thing. Just think of films like 1978’s “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes” and you will get what I mean.
HUGO, A MAGICAL MASTERPIECE
Director Martin Scorsese takes his audience on a magical ride through a Paris train station in the adventurous tale Hugo. Graced with an amazing cast that makes his wonderful characters come alive, it’s an enchanting production.
THE MUPPETS, ZANY FAMILY FUN
I grew up watching “The Muppet Show” on television every week and the new movie The Muppets has all the same characters as the program. The show hasn’t been around for a very long time so it was great to see the old gang getting back together. If your children like a lot of silliness and some lessons to be learned in a fun way, then I recommend taking them to see The Muppets.
BREAKING DAWN, A GOOD BEGINNING
Well the Twilight Saga has finally reached its ebb with the first half of Breaking Dawn that…
LIKE CRAZY, FLIMSEY & FORGETABLE
How to screw up your life without really trying seems to be the theme of the film Like Crazy an inconceivable little film that’s poorly written and delivered. Even with heartthrobs Anton Yelchin and Felicity Jones, the unlikely plot just kills any chance for a dramatic winner.
