Get Well Owen Wilson

So apparently Owen Wilson attempted suicide (slit wrists, OD on pills) over the weekend and is now hospitalized. I feel really bad for the guy, he doesn’t seem like the suicidal type and I’ve loved a lot of the things he’s given to the world. With my favorite filmmaker Wes Anderson he co-wrote amazing films [...]

Review: Rocket Science

Every year I look forward to many films, especially those who receive praise at film festivals like Sundance and Cannes. Last year “Little Miss Sunshine” was the huge hit at Sundance and that turned out to be my favorite film of 2006. The year before that “Thumbsucker” won both awards and praise and that also [...]

Trailer: I’m Not There

This trailer is a bit awkward, but I’m still very optimistic. I like what they’re doing with this biopic, it’s a real different direction than many that we’ve seen in recent years. I hope we get a better trailer, one that doesn’t look so unoriginal.Watch the trailer, and stay optimistic!
I’ve got a classic DVD review [...]

Review: Superbad

I didn’t get to see Judd Apatow’s critically acclaimed “Knocked Up” in theaters (out on DVD in September), so I wanted to make sure I saw “Superbad”, a film that was less anticipated by the American public. When I posted the trailer back in May I predicted it would be the sleeper hit of the [...]

Even more Dark Knight images!

Those images from yesterday were amazing but I got some more for ya! A preview of the film was recently shown at a convention and that’s what all these pictures are coming from. People who went to that con said that there’s some Batman falsies in this one, and that’s what these new pictures reflect. [...]

Holy New Pictures Batman!

These new pictures from the Dark Knight are the most amazing things I’ve seen this week. I’m speechless. SPEECHLESS. The last one is a hint of Aaron Eckhart as Two-Face. Hmmm…

Trailer: Walk Hard

The cast is what attracted me to this “Walk the Line” parody: John C. Reilly, Jenna Fischer, Paul Rudd, Jack White, Tim Meadows, Jason Schwartzman, Kristen Wiig, and Jack Black. Not only is the cast terrific, it is also directed by Jake Kasdan who directed “The TV Set” (Which looked terrific) and Orange County (a [...]

DVD Review: "Grey Gardens" (Criterion Collection)

My girlfriend recently purchased a film that I’ve never heard of in my entire career as a self-employed film critic. “Grey Gardens” is a 1976 documentary about a mother and daughter, Edith and Little Edie Beale who live at their estate called Grey Gardens. These two outrageous yet almost inane people are the aunt and [...]

"Grace is Gone" Poster

I’ve been waiting for this film since I heard about all the awards it won at Sundance this year. This could be John Cusack’s comeback (I didn’t see “1408″, but I’m talking about a real comeback including Oscars). The story is about a man (Cusack), whose wife has just died in the Iraq War and [...]

DVD Review: Film Geek

I’ve been wanting to see this tiny movie since its release two years ago, and it was my first Netflix venture. “Film Geek” is an independent film directed by unknown James Westby about Scotty Pelk (played by Melik Malkasian), a young man with an encyclopedic knowledge of film. Scotty works at his local video store [...]
