Review: Somewhere
— by SHERICE ANTOINETTE — Sofia Coppola returns to familiar territory with her latest film, “Somewhere.” More rewarding than the somewhat disappointing “Marie Antoinette,” “Somewhere’s” simplistic and intimate storyline about a lost A-list actor is very refreshing. While so[...]

How It Should Have Ended: The ‘Tron’ Rap
The comedic geniuses at HISHE (How It Should Have Ended) have set their sights on “Tron” and “Tron: Legacy” and come up with a hilarious take on the movie in rap form. Typically, HISHE parodies how the movie should have ended (as the name implies), and that IS a part of this [...]
Cinema 2010: Version I
— by SEAN GERSKI — I don’t think 2010 will go down as the best movie year ever for very many people, but like all years, it had its movies and it had its moments. And, as has happened in the past several years, creative people have taken to the web and created videos[...]

Three Featurettes from ‘Dorothy of Oz’
— by JESSIKA OWENS — Even though we still have over a year’s wait until the release of “Dorothy Of Oz,” there has been substantial media coverage surrounding the project. I blame Comic Con, and Lea Michele. That being said, although there is a plethora of media coverage[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘The Tree of Life’
— by RACHEL COYNE — I first saw the trailer for “The Tree of Life” when it played in the theater before “Black Swan.” When it was done, I leaned over to my friend and whispered, “I have no idea what that movie is supposed to be about.” After watching the trailer a second time[...]
Under Review: ‘The Fighter’
— by SHERICE ANTOINETTE — Not since “Rocky” have I been moved to tears by a movie about a boxer. “The Fighter” managed to leave me shattered — but in a good way. A true-life account of two brothers, the powerful boxing movie directed by David O. Russell is not your typical [...]
Under Review: ‘Destricted’
— by CHRIS HYATT — Before I start, I’d like to give fair warning that this particular review will very likely contain provocative imagery and some mild language. This is most likely not safe for work, but sometimes, that’s just how it goes. When I started writing this piece, [...]

Trailer Talk: ‘Take Me Home Tonight’
— by AMANDA KOEHLER — Sometimes, a little bit of nostalgia is good for the soul. Just ask the boys of this year’s “Hot Tub Time Machine.” Here’s hoping the same rings true with next year’s ’80s romp “Take Me Home Tonight.” Matt (Topher Grac[...]
