Starring: Tom Welling, Erica Durance, Justin Hartley, Cassidy Freeman Writer: Geoff Johns Director: Tom Welling Network: The CW, airs Friday nights Original Telecast: April 22, 2011 From the previews of the new SMALLVILLE episode “Booster”, it looked like a disaster in the making. A gold-plated superhero-for-hire named Booster Gold (Eric Martsolf) flies into town to one-up The Blur with his showy theatrics which include revealing his face to the public. However, as the episode progresses, it becomes a story about what it takes to really be a hero, and again, is yet another lesson for Clark Kent (Tom Welling) to […]Read On »

Movie Review: STAKE LAND

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Nick Damici, Connor Paolo, Danielle Harris, Sean Nelson, Michael Cerveris Writers: Nick Damici and Jim Mickle Director: Jim Mickle Distributor: IFC Films Release Date: April 22, 2011 STAKE LAND works on some basic levels – one can reasonably go into this post-apocalyptic horror movie expecting action and blood and be rewarded with plenty of both. An added bonus is some really gorgeous cinematography by Ryan Samul, which makes us feel like we really are somewhere bleak and abandoned, yet weirdly beautiful. In STAKE LAND, adolescent Martin (Connor Paolo) sees his family slaughtered by vampires, but he […]Read On »

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Reese Witherspoon, Robert Pattinson, Christoph Waltz, Paul Schneider, Jim Norton, Hal Holbrook Writer: Richard LaGravenese, based on the novel by Sara Gruen Director: Francis Lawrence Distributor: Fox 2000 Release Date: April 22, 2011 Based on Sara Gruen’s novel, WATER FOR ELEPHANTS is a big movie that feels in many ways like it could have been made in the ‘50s or ‘60s, with its forbidden romance, circus spectacle and mostly noble hero. The most modern aspects of the movie are concern for animals and acknowledgment that quite a few non-humans were and are smarter than humans gave them […]Read On »

Rating: G Stars: Samuel L. Jackson (Narrator) Director: Alastair Fothergill & Keith Scholey Distributor: Walt Disney Pictures Release Date: April 22, 2011 I grew up watching DISNEY TRUE LIFE ADVENTURES in school. They were old even then, but I still loved seeing them. It clearly has been years since I have watched any of them which were very cute and given the Disney treatment to take the edge off of stories in nature. AFRICAN CATS is in some ways exactly what I expected – a throwback to those older Disney nature film. It is a beautifully shot film as the […]Read On »
