The Bounty Hunter

Oh, how I long for the days of black comedies when a great seductress like Kathleen Turner could play naughty or nice, and still manage to have you rooting for her in the end (such as in the classic War of the Roses)! Unfortunately there has not been a new queen of dark comedies in [...]

She’s Out of My League

Just from the title I knew this film would be similar to American Pie, a film that I didn’t particularly care for, but which was popular with teenagers. However, I gave it a chance, but was not surprised by the outcome. Basically, this film is a salute to every nerdy guy out there who thinks [...]

Brooklyn’s Finest

“People protect their lives no matter what,” says a cop as he drives up with new trainee Sal, played by Ethan Hawke. We are then startled with a huge bang as we see Sal trying to quickly save the other guy, and suddenly see Eddie (Richard Gere) waking up from what has been a bad [...]

Happy Tears

During the last few years Demi Moore, a popular actress during the 80s and 90s, has been trying to re-build her status in films such as Charlie’s Angels and Flawless.

From Paris With Love

The title From Paris With Love sounds like a romantic film set in the worlds most famous city for passion. Nothing could be further from the truth, and instead we have an action-comedy that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. Directed by Pierre Morel who created the 2008 spy thriller hit Taken, [...]

Frozen

An exciting holiday at a ski resort turns into a chilling nightmare for one guy, his girlfriend, and best friend when planning to go snowboarding. As their wait for help goes unnoticed, and the ski patrol switches off the night lights when the resort shuts down, the trio is forced to take drastic measures to [...]

Tooth Fairy

As I went into the screening of this film, I predicted it would be just an average children’s comedy with jokes that were too over-the-top to be funny. I can honestly say that this is one time that I admit my expectations were a bit low, and that I was pleasantly surprised with the result. [...]

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

With Christmas having just ended, a film about a fantasy adventure allows us to continue in the world of dreams. The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus tells the story of one man who has the extraordinary gift of inspiring the imagination of others, where people get an opportunity to go into new territory. Directed by Terry [...]

Crazy Heart

“I used to be somebody, now I’m somebody else.” This song sums up the synopsis of Crazy Heart, a drama about has-been country singer Bad Blake played by Jeff Bridges, and how he turns his life around for the better from ruins and destitute to success. Directed by Scott Cooper, the film starts with Blake [...]
