Based very, very, very loosely upon the events of an Australian cave-diving accident in 1988, Sanctum provides a chilling look at heavy-handed adventure and at Hollywood acting inside what can only be described as one prolonged IMAX film. The...
From its stylized opening, Hatchet II begins with much better production values than its predecessor. Yet, the homage to 1980’s horror schlock remains. Adam Green’s Hatchet II picks up exactly where the original ended...
It probably took a hell of a lot of weed smoking to produce the general wackiness behind Touchstone’s (their first animated feature since 1993) take on Shakespeare’s classic tragedy of Romeo & Juliet...
In what feels more like an epic Western from the 1970’s than a sword-and-sandal piece of celluloid fun, Channing Tatum stars as the hero who travels to the edge of the world in pursuit of his father’s lost totem; a totem that symbolically will restore...

Woody Allen’s creative second wind continues in the sails of his latest overseas production. Leaving Manhattan once again, after the ill-received Whatever Works (a film that should have worked a lot better than it actually did)...
Leave it to Orson Welles to tackle the subject of continued fascism after WWII. Never one to shy away from topicality, left-wing minded Welles directs The Stranger, after stroking the coals of paranoia and isolation with unapologetic opening...
Ed Helms and company give heartland-comedy refreshing new life with the recent Sundance darling, Cedar Rapids. Helms, the executive producer of the film as well as its main character, is slowly inching his sweet little naïve self into the...
There’s a workinghorse-like mentality to all of Tony Scott’s films. You certainly know what to expect. Always enjoyable and seldom misfiring, his catalog of film is the stuff of legend (from Top Gun to Déjà Vu). Recently though, the machinery of...

Vampire films are as prolific as zits on a teen’s face. While there is something of a buzz the last couple of years about the fanged ones being the ‘it’ subject to mine right now, the truth is they have never really gone away. From Nosferatu into the 21st century...
Before I get too far ahead of myself, let me explain to you why I am even giving this film even one star. It boils down to one actress: Nicky Whelan. You know, the barista from the trailers. The one the two idiots lustfully gawk...
