There’s murder, conspiracy, riddles, time limits, antimatter, and big bangs. There’s also Tom Hanks and Ayelet Zurer. What more could you ask from a movie? Nothing, you say? Well, Angels and Demons is the movie for you. It’s delightful entertainment full of intense action, drama, and plot twists you won’t call (unless you’ve read the […]

May Mayhem!
Ye-AH! It’s May! 2009’s best month by far! Well, okay, let’s just pretend that storm season isn’t at its peak and let’s especially not talk about Finals week. So, with that, May is great! Why? Because May is movie madness month! Six – six! – highly anticipated and (hopefully) blockbuster movies are being released this […]
Ah, to be young again…
We were surrounded. There was no escape. There was no hope. …We had gone back to middle school. Groups, no herds, of giggling pre-teen girls filled the theater. They crowded all the seats and ran down the aisles, laughing and screeching as they went. “We did this to ourselves,” my friend said in terror. “We […]
The “Bad Guys” Story
Hulu – it’s the evil plot to destroy the world and it’s no secret. Obviously, as Alec Baldwin, Eliza Dushku, and Seth MacFarlane have been broadcasting the plot. But, what really is Hulu?
Is Slumdog a Cheat?
Is Slumdog Millionaire the movie it’s hyped up to be? It won Best Motion Picture and every newspaper and magazine has raved about it. But, is it really all that great?

Too Old for Fun?
We’re all adults here, right? We like our movies to have real people and political drama with a dash of business humor, right? I mean, that’s how adults are, right? Well, unfortunately for us adults, the movie industry is being overtaken by children’s animated movies. Poor us! Not!

Over the last few years, 3D movies have slowly increased in numbers and popularity. So much so, I believe the time when […]
A Stunning Movie
Many movies have been made to capture the emotional horror of World War II. These movies are full of drama and morality and complexity. But no movie has quite captured the terrifying simplicity of what the “final solution” for the Jews entailed until The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. This movie, based on a novel […]
PUSH review
Told through back alleys, fish markets, and shoddy little hotel rooms, PUSH is by no means a superhero movie. This gritty film smears the lines between good and evil, seemingly casting light in all the wrong places. How? Because the good guys act in ways we’ve been trained to believe only bad guys do, such […]
Let’s get LOST!
LOST kicked off in 2004 with a shocking bang of suspense, drama, comedy, and an island full of mystery. Now, the seemingly simple idea of 48 strangers surviving a plane crash and finding a way off a remote island is loads more. The survivors aren’t just strangers and the island isn’t just an island. And, […]
