House at the End of the Street (otherwise known as 101 Generic Minutes) is a bad career location for Jennifer Lawrence. She’s too talented of an actress to get caught up in a supposed suburban horror film that is neither scary nor any good. A haunted house ...
If you missed the lackluster Stolen in its initial 14 day theatrical run, well, I don’t blame you. Easy to watch when the brain is switched off, the film is largely a sloppy affair that can’t decide on a silly or sadistic tone. While not a complete loss thanks to the scenery chewed by everyone BUT...
I’m not trying to be funny here, but how many of you heard about The Jazz Singer before you actually saw it? It turns out the revolution was televised (in a roundabout manner of speaking). Moving pictures were meant to have sound and, in 1927, the technology ...
Quite simply, Two-Lane Blacktop is the purest road movie to ever exist. Revisiting Monte Hellman’s classic is not unlike listening to remastered Jimi Hendrix on 180 gram vinyl; a mood-altering earnest trip through the countercultural consciousness complete ...
The family tree gets a bit uprooted in the fantastic Hannah and Her Sisters. Set between two family thanksgivings, this 1986 offering from writer/director Woody Allen is rich in storytelling flow – as the characters take turn narrating the events – and ...
Don’t call it a comeback. He’s been here for years. Yeah, I said it. I couldn’t think of a better opener than quoting a little LL Cool J for you all. And, listen, it’s deserved. Arnold Schwarzenegger, last seen firing blanks in The Expendables 2, returns for another ...
With inspired gonzo guffaws and slapdash guerrilla filmmaking stylings, Sleepers is the funniest Woody Allen film to appear before his artistic vision made him a household name. Allen, a longtime fan of silent clowns like Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, throws ...
Sweat. Dust. Violence. And beer. These are the outback facts of life in Ted Kotcheff’s hard-hitting Wake in Fright. An Australian film long thought lost due to the ravages of time, Wake in Fright stands proudly alongside Mad Max and Picnic at Hanging Rock as high ....
Ready for something new from Jason Statham? Something like a romantic comedy? Look elsewhere. This is meat and potatoes Statham. The protagonist of a series of thrillers by the author Donald Westlake, writing under the pseudonym Richard Stark ...
“Gross,” my wife said to me while studying the artwork on Olive Films Blu-ray release of Paramount’s Ticks, a low-budget creature feature from 1993. It was followed by, “what the hell is wrong with you?” Ticks, to be sure, is my cup of malt-o-meal comfort ...
Bursting with the same joy captured inside Domenico Modugno’s recording of Volare, To Rome with Love continues Woody Allen’s successful European vacation. The comedy is just shy of the usual laughter and a definite step down from his most successful film ...
The unsettling case of the West Memphis Three gets yet another documentary - that’s four now. But West of Memphis is different. Aside from the passing of time - some 18 years - that has uncovered additional evidence, recanted testimony, and incompetent forensics...
Searching for Sugar Man clocks in a swift 85 minutes but the true story it tells – about an unknown folk-rock artist from Detroit, Michigan who doesn’t even know he’s bigger than Elvis in South Africa – is one you will never forget. Rodriguez is his name ...
It has been a decade since last we heard from director Walter Hill (The Warriors, 48 Hours) and his latest, Bullet to the Head, offers no explanation for the ten year silence. No apology needed from the maestro, mind you. Just sit back and enjoy the one-liners. Bullet to ...
Well, at least it tries to do something different with the whole superhero genre. Imagine if DC’s Justice League or Marvel’s The Avengers were fractured and driven apart by one of their villains for all eternity. Imagine if that villain was Jigsaw from the SAW series ...
