    Gran Torino Review If there’s anyone who tempts you to utter the phrase, “lovably racist”, it’s Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino. Relax, I’m not saying he’s lovably racist. But he is lovable. And racist. Sure it’s not okay that he calls every Asian person gook, and responds to his barber’s request for 10 bucks for…

    Marley and Me Review Marley and Me is one of those movies that cynics will call manipulative and trite, I found its emotions to be big and genuine, and while artistically it is flawed the heart does shine through. Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson play married journalists, he tries to delay having a kid with…

    Benjamin Button Review Imagine Forrest Gump by way of David Fincher, and that’s pretty much Benjamin Button. It’s not a coincidence the same screenwriter worked on both films. Eric Roth has written a lot of really intelligent, emotionally detached screenplays, such as The Insider, Ali and The Good Shepherd. His work is undeniably strong and…

    Considering The Career Arc of Writer-Director Many people have strong opinions about the work of writer-director M. Night Shyamalan, and I’m certainly one of them. While at times it may seem like critics are just waiting for Shyamalan to fail, I have been a big fan of his work for years (I even liked The…

    2009 Things To Look For 1. Will Watchmen Be Released? Watchmen has been heavily advertised. It’s a big movie. It’s expensive. It’s probably considered a possible tentpole by its studio. It also may not even get a release date. As has been reported by numerous outlets, Fox has basically said Warner Bros doesn’t have the…

    Seven Pounds Review This movie’s promotion, and some of the negative reviews it has received, suggest a pretty exciting movie. A number of critics review basically say they can’t talk much about the plot without ruining it. Which is true. The thing is that gives off the impression there are huge twists in the movie.…

    Yes Man Review We haven’t seen Jim Carrey headlining a comedy like this in a while, and unfortunately this vehicle is just a so-so vehicle for his talents. Liar, Liar is a comparably high-concept Carrey vehicle, but the concept lended itself much better to humor. Yes Man has moments of fun, but simply having Carrey…
