Hey all,
I had the opportunity to see an advanced screening of Hot Tub Time Machine last week and thought I would provide you with a short and sweet video review about the movie. The movie stars John Cusack, Rob Corddry, Craig Robinson, Clark Duke, Crispin Glover, and Chevy Chase. Read more »
((I tried to avoid it at first, then gave up, so: This review is fraught with SPOLIERS))
Many reasons exist to see Moon, but from the many you have to check it out for the production value and vision alone. Science fiction fans should see it and will likely inevitably do so, but this is a great film for so many other reasons too. Duncan Jones, whose only film credits come from a short UK film, does a fantastic job creating a believable futuristic atmosphere. More impressive is the fact that this was done with a scant $5 million dollar budget; that’s HALF of what was spent on the legendary 2001. While digging through the credits I noticed Trudie Styler as a producer, also known for her part in the production of another low-budget gem: Snatch. The most interesting part of all this: Jones’ dad is none other than David Bowie, while Styler happens to be married to Sting. By association, rock-n-roll has its hands deep into this one.

Hey folks,
I went to an early screening in Boston for the new Mel Gibson movie Edge of Darkness and so I thought I would relay my thoughts about it in a quick video. This movie is the epic return of Mel Gibson to cinema and overall a pretty good flick. This is a movie that Massachusetts people would find enjoyable especially when Gibson drops the greatest line about Massachusetts ever. The movie also stars Ray Winstone, Danny Huston and is Directed by Martin Campbell (Casino Royale)

“We’re going to Bonnie Doon!” You say those 5 words around any Australian and I guarantee you that you just became their favorite foreigner. That is quite possibly the most famous movie quote in Australia and is instantly recognized across the country. The movie which this quote is derived from is called The Castle, a fun and odd comedy based on the lives of ordinary working class Australians, or Aussie battler. Read more »

Who knew death could be so hysterical. I knew it could be funny, but Death at a Funeral is the most creative, witty, and comical movie I have ever seen on the subject. Not only does it have humor that appeals to both Brits and Americans, but anyone that has lost a relative in any part of the world could find this both horrible and hysterical all at the same time. This movie has it all, an ancient, angry uncle, a druggie relative, and the best part, a MIDGET (little person). Check out the rest of this colorful review after the jump. Read more »
Lady Vengeance (Chinjeolhan geumjassi), the third installment in the Park Chan Wook Vengeance Trilogy, is a much different take on the concept of revenge. Just when I thought all hope was lost for solid, vengeful female performances, along comes Sympathy for Lady Vengeance’s (Lady Vengeance for short) Yeong-ae Lee (JSA), as Geum-ja Jee, to kick some ass. A very different movie than its predecessors, Lady Vengeance is about vengeance from a female perspective based off of a kidnapping much different from the types in Oldboy and Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance.

Well, I think I can safely say that The Boat that Rocked, aka Pirate Radio, is a UK production making this a foreign film in my book. If anyone is familiar with any of these actors and actresses Philip Seymour Hoffman (Capote), Bill Nighy (Hot Fuzz), Rhys Ifans (The Replacements), Nick Frost (Hot Fuzz), Rhys Darby (Yes Man), Jack Davenport [he plays Twatt] (The Libertine) and Emma Thompson (Harry Potter 3 & 4), then you know you’re in for a performance treat.

Do you remember what it was like to be able to run around your house pretending that you were a superhero and that everyone else around you was somehow deeply rooted in your new troubled world that had to be saved? We’ll I tell you now if you don’t, you will after watching Son of Rambow, directed by Garth Jennings (The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy). Read more »
They say there is a first time for everything, well my reaction after Park Chan-wook’s Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (Boksuneun naui geot – 2002) was definitely a first for me. Last night, I sat stunned for five minutes trying to decide who to actually sympathize with, no pun intended. The story, acting, and directing made it almost impossible for me to decipher who the actual protagonist was and who the antagonist was, leaving my ability to empathize equally split amongst the characters in the story.
