The Dark Knight

The Dark Knight by BrianOrndorf

July 17th, 2008

It's been three lengthy years since "Batman Begins" clobbered the big screen, and the wait for the next chapter in this saga has been interminable.

TCM's series ELVIS MITCHELL: UNDER THE INFLUENCE has one fault – It's Too Short!

TCM's series ELVIS MITCHELL: UNDER THE INFLUENCE has one fault – It's Too Short! by CarrieSpecht

July 12th, 2008

Celebrities reveal their influences in this original series hosted by film critic Elvis Mitchell. The premiere episode aired July 7 and featured the late Sydney Pollack in his last in-depth interview. However, it seemed abrupt and truncated. When you’re talking about the influences that have shaped an artist's life, a half hour is too short to cover the subject sufficiently. It definitely left me wanting more.

Never Forever

Never Forever by BrianOrndorf

July 7th, 2008

"Never Forever" had all the opportunity in the world to fall in line with its romance-novel inclinations, to feed off melodrama and end up a tragic tear-jerker that flails wildly and distills the pain of life into bite-sized bits of mascara-smeared displeasure. Thank heavens writer/director Gina Kim isn't interested in reducing her feature to a puddle of pandering.

The Bad News Bears

The Bad News Bears by EdwardHavens

December 20th, 2004

I am personally against remakes, on general principles. The vast majority of remakes come from good films that weren’t asking to be redone, and the new films are virtual carbon copies of the originals.

The Talking Heads

The Talking Heads by EdwardHavens

March 27th, 2006

They weren’t the most influential band to come out of the New York City punk and new wave scene that exploded out of CBGB’s in the mid 1970s. That would have been The Ramones. Nor were they the most commercially successful. That title would go to Blondie.

“Scene It”: A Rather Trivial Movie Trivia Game

“Scene It”: A Rather Trivial Movie Trivia Game by CarrieSpecht

January 24th, 2007

If you’ve lately spent any time in a toy store, you’ve no doubt noted the highly promoted “Scene It” series of movie trivia games. If you’re a novice at movie trivia, then you may enjoy this simplistic turn at an interactive game that incorporates the use of DVD clips with the traditional board game. However, if you have even the most remote knowledge of all things movies, you’ll more likely be bored than entertained.

Rant

Rant by CassyHavens

April 23rd, 2007

In Chuck Palaniuk's eighth novel, he has created a new vision of the future that differs from every other dystopian work of science fiction: it feels real, and most importantly, it feels likely.
