film review: Red State (2011)

3 Comments

Strange, strange, strange. I have to admit, I wasn’t expecting to like Red State. I liked the trailer but I’m not particularly a fan of Kevin Smith; I can still smell Cop Out from here… then again, I did really like Zack and Miri Make a Porno and I thought Chasing Amy was kind of […]

film review: Sucker Punch (2011)

No Comment

You remember when I said the trailer for Sucker Punch had everything but the kitchen sink in it? Yeah. Turns out the kitchen sink was sense. This was not as phenomenal a mess as The Spirit but it did have a few extra touches of outlandishness that only Zack Snyder is brave enough to throw […]

film review: The Lincoln Lawyer (2011)

No Comment

film review: Burlesque (2010)

With snowmageddon going on here, it’s hard to think about going outside at all, let alone going out to go to the cinema. But then that’s just what I did today. Not to this though. I went to this weeks ago. Today I went to Catfish. But that’s not important right now. Wikipedia (today, 21st […]

film review: The Kids Are All Right (2010)

No Comment

A week or two ago I tweeted an interesting article from Awards Daily discussing some of the early contenders in the Oscar race for Best Lead Actress. Thankfully it looks like this year is going to be a much better year for women than last year and one of the movies that’s providing a lot […]

Truth is, I was pretty skeptical going into the screening of The Social Network.
