Paul: Trailer
— by H.G. WATSON — Every once in a while, my expectations for a film are exceedingly high. It depends on the actors in it, sometimes the director, and just every once in a while on the concept itself. If all three are combined, then my anticipation skyrockets. So let me put it this way, [...]

Sex and the City 2: Makeover Vignettes
— by KATHLEEN COLLINS — With the release of “Sex and the City 2″ on blu-ray and dvd this week, I have to say I hope a third movie is made to close the series up the right way. The second movie was a big disappointment to the beloved television show and first movie. Taking [&h[...]

Under Review: ‘The Exorcist’ Extended Director’s Cut’ on Blu-ray
— by SHERICE ANTOINETTE — The moment I popped in “The Exorcist Extended Director’s Cut” on Blu-ray, I was reminded of what I was in for. To greet me was Linda Blair’s possessed face painted in an eerie green glow accompanied with demonic noises. Immediately, I remembered how frig[...]

Under Review: ‘Runaway’ by Kanye West
— by MARIUSZ ZUBROWSKI — The creative yet undeniably indulgent rapper is an anomaly these days – especially ones who still try to sculpt meaning into their pre-processed beats, in contrast to just rhyming about “drugs, guns and hoes.” However, producer-turned-hip-hop superstar[...]
Under Review: ‘Paranormal Activity 2′
— by MARIUSZ ZUBROWSKI — Ghosts: Who’s afraid of ’em anymore? I mean, according to ancient folklore, they can be kept at bay with just a simple pinch of salt, brass bells and holy water. To me, the more rational fears are that of maniacal clowns, bees and the opening credits to [...]
A Scene from ‘Henry’s Crime’
— by JOSUE SANCHEZ — I never thought the star of “The Matrix” and “Speed” would be taking such long breaks between his movies. After the “Lake House” in 2006, it took two years for him return to the screen with “Street Kings” and “The Day the Earth Stood Still.” So no[...]
Under Review: ‘I Spit On Your Grave’
— by JESSIKA OWENS — I went into this film expecting a certain type of movie: an in-your-face film pumped with violence, hate and vengeance. My suspicions seemed to have been confirmed at the ticket window when I was informed it was ‘Unrated’ and nobody under 17 would be allo[...]
