Stars: Kate Beckinsale, Stephen Rea, Michael Ealy, Theo James, India Eisley, Charles Dance Writers: Len Wiseman, John Hlavin, J. Michael Straczynski, Allison Burnett Directors: Mans Marlind, Bjorn Stein Distributor: Screen Gems UNDERWORLD, much like the RESIDENT EVIL franchise (also distributed by Screen Gems),  seems to have a standard formula providing just enough gore, monsters,skin and women in tight leather to warrant an endless amount of sequels that’s high on action and low on plot. And yes, this formula seems to work and the boxoffice continues to support these films with UNDERWORLD: AWAKENING being no different. The fourth installment of the […]Read On »

HAYWIRE movie poster | ©2012 Relativity

Rating: R Stars: Gina Carano, Channing Tatum, Michael Fassbender, Ewan McGregor, Michael Angarano, Antonio Banderas, Michael Douglas, Bill Paxton Writer: Lem Dobbs Director: Steven Soderbergh Distributor: Relativity Media Release Date: January 20, 2012 There are few if any movies where CIA agents and their allies are perfectly comfortable with all of their work colleagues. It’s therefore no big surprise to the audience when government “private contract” black ops specialist Mallory Kane (Gina Carano) gets burned by someone she trusted. It’s not surprising either, what with HAYWIRE being an action movie, that the more Mallory understands she’s being messed with, the […]Read On »

Vance, Ivan Gonzalez, Michael Eklund, Ashton Holmes, Rosanna Arquette Writers: Karl Mueller & Eron Sheean Director: Xavier Gens Distributor: Anchor Bay Films Release Date: January 13, 2012 There are a fair amount of post-apocalyptic films out there, but THE DIVIDE is one of the few that more properly can be described as mid-apocalyptic.

In the end, only eight […]Read On »

Movie Review: THE INNKEEPERS

Rating: R Stars: Sara Paxton, Pat Healy, Kelly McGillis Writer: Ti West Director: Ti West Distributor: Magnet Releasing Release Date: VOD, December 30, 2011; theatrical, February 3, 2012 Probably the most important aspect of THE INNKEEPERS is that it is effectively scary. Writer/director Ti West (HOUSE OF THE DEVIL) makes a virtue of the suspense that comes from a playful, naturalistic build-up – let us wait long enough and even the most mundane situation develops tension if we know something wicked this way comes. On the flip side, THE INNKEEPERS promises more in the way of plot, mystery and mythos […]Read On »

Movie Review: THE IRON LADY

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Meryl Streep, Jim Broadbent, Olivia Colman, Harry Lloyd, Alexandra Roach, Iain Glen, Anthony Head, Richard E. Grant Writer: Abi Morgan Director: Phyllida Lloyd Distributor: The Weinstein Company Release Date: December 30, 2011 There are a number of reasons to see THE IRON LADY. Foremost, as one might expect, is Meryl Streep’s phenomenal performance as Margaret Thatcher, both at the peak of her power and in her later dementia. Streep doesn’t do an impersonation of the well-known public figure. Instead, she makes internal sense of every action shown here, whether she is cajoling the shade of her husband […]Read On »

Using the Michael Morpurgo novel that also inspired the current Broadway hit of the same name, WAR HORSE is the story of Joey, a horse with a lot of heart and ability, and Albert […]Read On »
