So is Immortals any good?

Immortals. This was the film that allowed us to catch a glimpse of Henry Cavill – the man who will be playing Clark Kent in the latest attempt to reboot the Superman franchise before Man of Steel comes out. This is the latest film made by Tarsem Singh, the commercials director whose last movie was The Fall—a film I really enjoyed. Oh yeah this was also another one of desi... Read More

So is Just Go With It any good?

There was a time when the words ‘Adam Sandler movie’ weren’t bad words. Billy Madison was alright. Happy Gilmore was a lot of fun, until it got a little weird. I thought The Wedding Singer came together pretty nicely (Julia Gulia. he he). Even The Waterboy wasn’t too bad. The two movies that changed all that were Little Nicky and You Don’t Mess With The Zohan. I... Read More

So is Like Crazy any good?

Remember how, in the way back when days, people were making movies on miniDV and using the cheap format as an excuse to tell us stories that didn’t seem to make any sense? Yeah, those days haven’t left us yet. These days, relatively famous Hollywood talent goes slumming in HD. In movies like Like Crazy. This is one of those movies during which the entire audience is riding... Read More

So is Drive any good?

I am not a fan of slow-burn movies. Blame it on the collective A.D.D. that three-screening has conferred upon all of us with on-demand access to the Internet, or on the fact that I am a philistine. If a movie takes its time getting there, it will have to get there on its own because I am no longer along for the ride. Drive is a slow movie, and yet, I was along for the ride every... Read More

So is Chronicle any good?

Chronicle is a found footage film about teenagers who develop mysterious superpowers. The trailer looked good and I was really interested in what the filmmakers would come up with. However, I was wary from past experience because found footage films have a tendency to lose steam somewhere along the way, mostly because they have to work too hard to keep up the pretense of having... Read More

So is Man On A Ledge any good?

Sam Worthington, also known as Mr. Ubiquitous (seriously, how many movies is this guy in?) plays Nick Cassidy, a man who buys himself an expensive breakfast and then climbs out onto the ledge of his 21st floor hotel room at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York. Oh my God, we have a jumper! It doesn’t take too long for crowds to gather, for the cops and fire brigade to arrive and for... Read More

So is Haywire any good?

  Let me try and figure out a way to type this as simply as possible: In Haywire a former mixed martial arts fighter (for real, that is what she did) named Gina Carano plays a double-crossed super soldier who wreaks vengeance on all those that plotted to kill her. The guys who get their behinds handed to them in hand-to-hand combat are played by the likes of Michael Fassbender,... Read More
