Movie: Project X Rating: PROJECT X is not the type of movie I expect Todd Phillips (THE HANGOVER, OLD SCHOOL, ROAD TRIP) to make. Tossing out his typical playbook of comedic hijinks, Phillips takes a “realistic” look at the high school party scene in his latest release (he serves as producer allowing the film’s distributors Read more ->
Movie: Chronicle Rating: The found footage gimic is in its 14:28 minute of fame but CHRONICLE defies the jaded genre. The film focuses around a group of super-powered teens discovering their powers and learning how to control them. Essentially, HEROES’ pilot episode with a larger budget, and I mean that as a good thing. Of Read more ->
Movie: The Hunger Games Rating: Every once in a while a trailer hits the web that leaves the masses either scratching their heads or champing at the bit to see it. THE HUNGER GAMES is that type of trailer. With a huge built in audience from its trilogy of books, a movie based on THE Read more ->
Movie: The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo Rating: The following is a pretty remarkable 8 minute long trailer for David Fincher’s THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO. I’m nearly speechless after watching it.

Movie: Shame Rating: There are only a few directors out there that can take the essence and tone of a movie and capture it on film. Many try and many fail, but once in a generation there will be one that succeeds. Steven Spielberg is one of those who succeeds, and probably the most obvious Read more ->
If you’re looking for a movie with a boat load of heart…Being Elmo may be just the movie for you. Read more
Movie: The Muppets Rating: I don’t remember much about the types of entertainment I enjoyed as a child but I do remember ThunderCats and The Muppets. And while I’m still holding out for a live action ThunderCats movie, for the muppets, that is not a problem. There has been a steady stream of Muppet movies Read more ->
Movie: The Avengers Rating: The comic book movie has a long winding history. In 1978, SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE made you believe a man could fly. And while the special effects are now way out of date, the charm and heart behind the story makes it a timeless masterpiece. Maybe that’s too much praise for a Read more ->
