Movie Review: MAN OF STEEL

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Michael Shannon, Russell Crowe, Diane Lane, Kevin Costner Writer: David S. Goyer, story by David S. Goyer & Christopher Nolan, based on characters created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster Director: Zack Snyder Distributor: Warner Bros. Release Date: June 14, 2013 The last big screen take on Superman, SUPERMAN RETURNS, looked and felt very much like a follow-up to the ‘70s/’80s films starring Christopher Reeve. No one is going to mistake the new MAN OF STEEL as a relative of those earlier features. This take on the mythology from director Zack Snyder and […]Read On »

Movie Review: BERBERIAN SOUND STUDIO

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Toby Jones, Fatima Mohamed, Eugenia Caruso, Cosimo Fusco, Antonio Mancino Writer: Peter Strickland Director: Peter Strickland Distributor: IFC Midnight Release Date: June 14, 2013 You have to hand it to BERBERIAN SOUND STUDIO for originality. It will remind you of other movies – THE CONVERSATION meets a psychological meltdown meets the making of SUSPIRIA or maybe an Italian witch horror movie so wacky it was never seen in the U.S. – but you haven’t seen anything else really like it. This is both a good thing and a bad thing. Director/writer Peter Strickland sets BERBERIAN SOUND […]Read On »

Stars: Tyler Posey, Crystal Reed, Dylan O’Brien, Tyler Hoechlin, Holland Roden, JR Bourne Writer: Jeff Davis Director: Russell Mulcahy Network: MTV, airs Monday nights Original Telecast: June 10, 2013 After the break neck speed of the season premiere, TEEN WOLF eases into a much more familiar and deliberate pace with “Chaos Rising” as many of the seeds for where the season is going are planted. Isaac (Daniel Sharman) is an important key for Scott (Tyler Posey) and Derek (Tyler Hoechlin) as they try to figure out who the Alphas are and what they’re up to. Much of the episode’s investigations […]Read On »

Movie Review: WISH YOU WERE HERE

WISH YOU WERE HERE movie poster | ©2013 Entertainment One

Rating: R Stars: Joel Edgerton, Felicity Price, Teresa Palmer, Antony Starr Writers: Kieran Darcy-Smith & Felicity Price Director: Kieran Darcy-Smith Distributor: Entertainment One Release Date: June 7, 2013 WISH YOU WERE HERE is one of those tightly-crafted thrillers where scenes that seem innocuous from one angle are later shown to have an entirely different significance when viewed through another lens, even if the characters within that scene don’t understand what’s been set in motion. At the outset, we see Dave Flannery (Joel Edgerton), alone and looking devastated, wandering in a field. It looks like something terrible has happened, and it […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Ethan Hawke, Lena Headey, Max Burkholder, Adelaide Kane, Edwin Hodge, Rhys Wakefield, Tony Oller Writer: James DeMonaco Director: James DeMonaco Distributor: Universal Release Date: June 7, 2013 Harking back to the independently-made science fiction and horror films of the Sixties and Seventies, THE PURGE takes place in a dystopian near-future (2022) where the government maintains control and order via draconian means. At first, in writer/director James DeMonaco’s vision, all seems well in America. The jobless rate is down to one percent, crime is down, the economy is thriving. The government credits this to “The Purge,” a twelve-hour […]Read On »

Stars: Tyler Posey, Crystal Reed, Dylan O’Brien, Tyler Hoechlin, Holland Roden, Colton Haynes, JR Bourne Writer: Jeff Davis Director: Russell Mulcahy Network: MTV, airs Monday nights Original Telecast: June 3, 2013 With TEEN WOLF set to have 24 episodes for its third season (double its normal order), the series is not wasting any time in setting things up. In fact, the Season 3 premiere “Tattoo” crams in enough story points, action and horror that it’s very clear the show is declaring we’re in for a very epic new season. My biggest concern was the series moving its shooting locations from […]Read On »
