I have to admit, it did take me a while before I actually sat down and watched “Synecdoche, New York”. My reason for putting it off so long was simple: one, and only one of my friends saw it, poo pooed on it for being too confusing and thus, I never forced myself to endure [...]
Come the summer, I expect two things, massive, CGI-laden action films and solid roll down the aisle comedies with great creative teams and rich casts. In each instance, I’ll fully admit that generally, I don’t expect much from the overall story. When a movie hits all notes well, as in J.J. Abrams’ “Star Trek” the [...]

“Sneakers”, for me is one of those films that HAS to be seen by everyone I know. Not only that, but it’s one of those films where I get as much enjoyment from getting others to see it for the first time as I do from watching it again and again…You simply cannot NOT enjoy [...]
Trailer via Firstshowing.net
A full six plus months before it’s release on Christmas Day of this year, the Guy Ritchie directed “Sherlock Holmes” gets its first trailer. I have to say, with over six months to go, it’s an impressive first trailer – lots of footage, gags, and action.
Based on the Arthur Conan Doyle characters, [...]

I’m going to begin this by saying that I AM A HUGE MOVIE BUFF*. The asterisk is there because I find myself drawn to contemporary films more often than the classics. I like to think of it as a “time management” issue. It’s really easy to say that I’ll begin catching up on older films [...]

Dimension Films has released the first trailer for the screen adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s dark post apocalyptic novel “The Road”.
I love this trailer. From the moment it began I immediately thought that the trailer wasn’t going to do the movie or the novel any justice. It seemed a bit hokey at [...]
Ok. So by now you might have already heard that IMAX is coming under some pretty brutal fire for the ticket prices in certain Regal, AMC, and IMAX theaters in the States where they are charging full IMAX price for “The IMAX Experience” of certain films.
The hubub began yesterday when comedian Aziz Ansari, let loose [...]
J.J. Abrams successfully re-launches the U.S.S. Enterprise in ‘Star Trek’

As a matter of disclosure, I should probably mention that I know barely anything about ‘Star Trek’. I might’ve seen only the original movie and I think I can honestly say I’ve only seen a handful of episodes of the series. One of the detractors for me is the fact that there are always a [...]
In the ‘not really new information/ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC news that I haven’t commented on yet’ category comes last week’s article from the MTV Movie Blog. The article addresses the progress being made on the potential movie adaptation of Stephen King’s “The Dark Tower” series and mentions that J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof have already secured the [...]

The summer movie season is now officially in full swing. Between now and the end of August it’s looking like once again there are quite a few interesting releases that pique my interest and will drain my wallet. First up is Gavin Hood’s uneven but still entertaining “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”.
Before even writing one word [...]
