Richard Linklater’s “Before” series is probably the most unlikeliest of trilogies. Starting in 1995, “Before Sunrise” was a lovely movie about love at first sight and a day adventure with two strangers (Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy) as they got to know each other and had interesting—and somewhat pretentious—conversation. It (continued…)
With the first “The Hangover” film, Director Todd Philips stumbled on a monster mega-hit that took the buddy frat-boy comedy and added never-seen-before originality to it. The story of 3 friends on a bachelor party trip to Vegas, getting blackout-wasted and having to retrace their steps in order to find (continued…)
n a lot of ways, Baz Luhrmann (“Romeo + Juliet,” “Moulin Rouge!”) is the perfect person to bring the decadent, extravagant, yet ultimately meaningless life of rich excess portrayed in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s literary classic to life. In his latest “classic tale with a modern twist” or “classic tale but (continued…)
There’s a difficulty with “Looper” — the newest film from writer/director Rian Johnson — just as there’s a difficulty in the fallacy of time travel. It’s a messy and often convoluted difficulty, yet somehow, it works; both the science and the film. “Looper” stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Joe, the titular (continued…)
“The Words” is the worst kind of ridiculous movie. It’s the kind that’s a convoluted, asinine mess, mercilessly begging to be taken seriously. From the incredibly flawed storyline, to the ominous tone, the film asks to be looked at as a captivating thriller despite not having the intellect to sell (continued…)
At its best, “Premium Rush” is a genuinely fun movie that could have been incredibly mediocre had it not been for the always-stellar casting of Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Michael Shannon. At its worst, it’s just painfully average and unexciting; a typical high speed chase movie— except on bikes! The unfortunately (continued…)
In a way, it makes sense that “Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane‘s first film would tackle the relationship between a 35 year old man-child and his teddy bear come-to-life. MacFarlane, whose obsession with pop culture — and the incessant need to remind us that the ‘80s existed —co-wrote, produced and (continued…)

There’s a scene late in Director Rupert Sanders “Snow White and The Huntsman”— an adaptation of the classic Grimm brothers fairytale — where the seven dwarfs lead ‘the fairest of them all’ and the huntsman into a beautiful place that lives in darkness due to the reign of the evil (continued…)
When you think of Bob Marley and his effect on pop culture, Jamaican culture and spiritual ideology; it can be hard at times to remember that he was once a human being. The death of a celebrated icon, a premature one at that, can have that kind of effect. We (continued…)
In the summer of 1999 “American Pie” premiered and marked a sort-of resurgence of the gross-out, sex-heavy raunchy teen comedies popularized in the ‘80’s by such classics as “Porky’s” and “Revenge of the Nerds.” Like its predecessors, “American Pie” captured the angst of being a sexually frustrated teenage male on (continued…)
