Not Much Love for Woody Allen’s “To Rome With Love”
Read more: Not Much Love for Woody Allen’s “To Rome With Love”I adored Woody Allen’s last film, “Midnight In Paris”. You can read me ranting and raving about it a year ago on this very blog. It was a film rooted in a warm, romantic feeling of nostalgia that was only lightly tainted by cynicism. There were laughs, there was love, and the characters were likable…

Some Brief Thoughts on Pixar’s “Brave”
Read more: Some Brief Thoughts on Pixar’s “Brave”Who doesn’t love Disney’s Pixar? Between the unbearably cute short films that introduce their larger stories and the delightfully peculiar yet heartwarmingly touching feature-length films, Pixar pretty much has the 3D animation game in a headlock. I’d almost go so far as to call it a monopoly if “How to Train Your Dragon” wasn’t so…

Andrew Garfield Delivers, Swinging into Action as “The Amazing Spider-Man”
Read more: Andrew Garfield Delivers, Swinging into Action as “The Amazing Spider-Man”You can only love Superman so much, because being a virtually all-powerful boy scout, he can get kind of boring. And Batman’s dark and brooding personality is a bit too grave for my taste. Aside from those two big names, I’d have to say that Spider-Man is easily the next most popular hero in comics…

While a little lacking on the drama and character development, I really enjoyed the provocative questions the film asked and it was really entertaining to watch too! I would definitely suggest seeing it,…

Thoughts on “Breakfast At Tiffany’s” – From Novella to Film
Read more: Thoughts on “Breakfast At Tiffany’s” – From Novella to Film“What I found does the most good is just to get into a taxi and go to Tiffany’s. It calms me down right away, the quietness and the proud look of it; nothing very bad could happen to you there.” It was once easy for me, particularly as a guy, to just write off “Breakfast…

“The Avengers” Hulk-Smashes Box Office Records, and It’s Awesome!
Read more: “The Avengers” Hulk-Smashes Box Office Records, and It’s Awesome!Superhero movies sure have come a long way since the day’s of Tim Burton’s odd Batman movies in a time when superheroes were still treated like they were taken right out of the comic strips; they were campy, goofy, and overly colorful. But in recent years, Hollywood has wizened up and realized that translating these…

“The 5-Year Engagement” Is Decently Funny
Read more: “The 5-Year Engagement” Is Decently FunnyI talk a lot about how much I love realism in movies. I also talk a lot about how much of a man crush I have on Jason Segel, but I never thought I’d think that either one could be too much in one sitting. And in a way, that’s sort of what I got…

“Cabin in the Woods” is Horror-Comedy Gold!
Read more: “Cabin in the Woods” is Horror-Comedy Gold!Sometimes I have a very twisted sense of humor, especially when something terrifyingly serious instantly turns ludicrous and hysterical. Case in point: genius sharks are out to get Samuel L. Jackson and some other unfortunates in “Deep Blue Sea” but once everybody starts bickering, Samuel L. Jackson delivers the following inspirational speech to rally the…
