“Rage” is a new film written and directed by Sally Potter (“Yes” and “Orlando”). The film stars a cavalcade of Hollywood elite actors and actresses including Dame Judy Dench, Jude Law (in a wonderful turn as a supermodel in drag called Minx), John Leguizamo, Eddie Izzard, Steve Buscemi, and Dianne Wiest. The movie centers around [...]
John Wayne Bosley’s first movie in his Allan Carter Saga “amnesia” is one part Hitchcock with one part Warhol experimental film. This low-budget independent film shot mostly in the woods of Maine is a pastiche of cinema styles ranging from “Sin City”-like black and white with splashes of color to grainy flashbacks, art shots, handheld [...]
This iteration of “Fame” doesn’t necessarily have to be construed as a remake or re-envisioning of the popular 80′s movie. In fact it stands alone quite well by itself as a modern-day take on the New York Performing Arts High School and the new group of talented youngsters that have been selected to attend in [...]
“Paranormal Activity”, when viewed for the first time, at least for the first twenty minutes or so, makes you think you are watching a blatant rip-off of “The Blair Witch Project”. With its shaky cam and seemingly real “slice of life” reality cinematic style, it looks like you might be in for a long evening [...]
There are a lot of independent features that are making the rounds out there these days. They vary in budget, cast caliber (as far as stars vs unknowns are concerned, not acting ability), how they’re shot, and subject matter. Mike Vogel’s first feature “The Waiting List” is one of those few independent movies where, as [...]
“Araya” was originally released in 1959 and came to earn acclaim at the Cannes Film Festival winning the International Critics Prize and earning a re-release this year at the Berlin Film Festival where it can now be rediscovered by a new generation of cinema-goers. This film is a beautifully shot documentary showing the struggles and [...]
Guy Ritchie has done it, again! And, no, I don’t mean again as in he has put Jason Statham asĀ a main character in one of his films (although he did) what I mean is that he has again written and directed a fantastic movie! If you are looking for a repeat of “Lock, Stock, [...]
“Eye For A Tooth” is a short subject film about a man dealing with the demons of his past after confronting and killing a rapist thus saving a young lady. It is directed and written by James Haruo Forbes and stars Brian Shelburne as the hero (in the eyes of the woman he saves) Colin [...]
I’ve always been pretty love/hate when it comes to Jennifer Aniston movies. “Along Came Polly”, hated it. “The Break Up”, loved it. “Love Happens”, liked it quite a bit. I know that pretty much spoils the rest of the review for you, but stick with me a second and I’ll tell you why this movie [...]
Steven Soderbergh’s story seems like the fair he’s shoveled at us before. A large corporation is being accused of price-fixing and an inside whistle-blower is working with the FBI to catch the baddies. Simple enough storyline to follow right? If that were where the story ended then I would agree, but the story gets more [...]
