Review: Goon
— by JOSUE SANCHEZ — When a movie starts with the words “Based on a True Story,” I have the unfortunate habit of trying to determine, or guess, what in the movie actually really happened, and what was simply made up for entertainment purposes. With the movie “Goon”[...]
French Trailer for Cosmopolis
— by SHERICE ANTOINETTE — The French trailer for David Cronenberg “Cosmopolis” is up and it certainly shows Robert Pattinson in a different — and very adult — light. Cronenberg, whose latest film was the critically-acclaimed “A Dangerous Method,” adapted this [...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Good Neighbours’
— by H.G. WATSON — Three cute single people all live in the same building. It sounds like the starting premise of the next Kate Hudson rom-com, but in this case it’s a twist on a murder mystery — because one of those people is actually a serial killer (you know[...]
Under Review: ‘The Sorcerer’s Apprentice’
— by ADAM POYNTER — Magic, suspense, action, romance and Arthurian mythology are what’s served up in the new collaboration of “Walt Disney Pictures” with Director Jon Turteltaub (“National Treasure”), producer Jerry Bruckheimer (“Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time” and the[...]
Under Review: ‘The Trotsky’
— by JOEL CRARY — “The Trotsky” may have the distinction of being the only teen comedy with an Ayn Rand joke. I can’t think of another. It’s certainly the only teen film to contain not one, but two references to the Odessa steps sequence in Eisenstein’s “Battleship Potemkin.[...]
Under Review: ‘How to Train Your Dragon’
— by ALLISON HIGGINBOTHAM — Having two younger sisters means that I’ve had to watch some pretty horrible kid movies. From “Garfield: The Movie” to “G-Force,” it hasn’t been pretty. Luckily, “How to Train Your Dragon” wasn’t horrible at all. The plot of “How to Train Y[...]
Six Clips from ‘How to Train Your Dragon’
— by JOSUE SANCHEZ — Here we are, right at start of what may be one of the biggest movie years ever. Yes, this year we will be bombarded with super-hero movies, computer animated movies and action movies galore. And I can’t forget to mention the avalanche of 3-D movies that will be[...]
Under Review: ‘She’s Out of My League’
— by JOEL CRARY — The first bit of ball-shaving comedy I remember seeing on film was in “American Wedding,” the third “American Pie” film, back in 2003. The second was in “Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle” a year later, though I can’t quite recall if that was a[...]
Four Clips from ‘She’s Out of My League’
— by SEAN GERSKI — “She’s Out of My League” has been the cause of a very minor controversy. The thinking is that the movie’s lead, played by Jay Baruchel, is too good looking for the role. The role calls for a so-called “5,” and the premise of[...]
A Scene from ‘She’s Out of My League’
— by KATHLEEN COLLINS — I guess I had just kind of hoped that gross-out humor had run its course, but no, apparently it’s alive and well. After the “hair gel” scene in “There’s Something About Mary” and the “pie scene” in “American[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘She’s Out of My League’
— by ALLISON HIGGINBOTHAM — Once again it looks like the underdog is getting the girl. It’s a played-out tale, especially in the Judd Apatow era of comedy. “She’s Out of My League” has the nerdy beanpole and the smoking hot blonde that usually make up teen[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘The Sorcerer’s Apprentice’
— by JOSUE SANCHEZ — Why are movies about apprentices so popular? Could it be that we just like accompanying rookies in their journey of mastering some special trade? Or is it just the underdog aspect if it? Yes, it seems people love to watch the novice figure out the hidden potential[...]
