NINE
A vibrant, splashy, well-executed movie musical that shares characteristics of some of the best musicals of all-time
SHERLOCK HOLMES
It is not without flaws, but they are overshadowed by a fun update to this character with perfect casting of Robert Downey, Jr, and Jude Law.
AVATAR
Never before has a film so successfully married special effects and live-action, and with the added third dimension, it’s truly a spellbinding sight to behold.
NINJA ASSASSIN
Numerous ninjas have been in and out of the room where you’re reading this review right now.
A SINGLE MAN
Tom Ford has made a film that will engage the senses, but outside of pain, pain and more pain, this movie didn’t engage my care.
THE LAST STATION
This story could easily be trapped in the stuffiness of the worst PBS special. But great actors and lush production elevate it to a memorable two hours.
PIRATE RADIO
Characters are shallow for no good reason, and no relationships or situations have real weight. That would be all fine and good if “Pirate Radio” were funnier.
UP IN THE AIR
It wouldn’t surprise me if “Up In The Air” wins just about every award it’s eligible for.
RED CLIFF
It is that rare and breathtaking theatrical experience for those of us that truly love, revel, and live in movies.
BLACK DYNAMITE
In this movie, Black Dynamite goes to Kung Fu Island. If that’s not enough to get you to see it, then stop reading.
2012
If there’s anyone capable of building something that could withstand Armageddon, it’s probably the Chinese.
THE ROAD
The film is valiantly crafted, and yet it can’t possibly reach the complexity of McCarthy’s vision.
MICHAEL JACKSON’S THIS IS IT
He reminds you immediately that he is a performer not to be ignored, and unfortunately it took his death to get the most attention he’s had in a decade.
THE BLIND SIDE
I’m a sucker for an underdog movie, but I think I was welling up because I knew Sandra Bullock was going to kick major ass in this movie
ANTICHRIST
After you suffer through the four chapters of ANTICHRIST, you see a glimmer of feminist hope
THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS
The story is so inherently weird and subjective that believing it completely would be somewhat foolish.
THE INVENTION OF LYING
Call it “Sci-Fi-Rom-Com” or whatever you like, but it seems that a lot of the best science fiction concepts are being used in comedies nowadays.
WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE
We’ve got our Jonze on for two different opinions on the new movie based on Maurice Sendak’s classic book
A SERIOUS MAN
This is Coen Brothers country, and as usual it is populated by ugly, desperate people.
OVERLOOKED GEMS, PART 2
Random films from my own “overlooked gems” collection, with accompanying reviews.
RANTING ON A CLASSIC: PSYCHO
Marion Crane, potential womanly threat, was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
OVERLOOKED GEMS, PART 1
We all have ‘em: movies that we like, even love, which somehow get lost in the grand shuffle called “posterity”.
JENNIFER CODY – THE TMG INTERVIEW
Jennifer Cody gives us the lowdown on her strong film debut in “The Princess and Frog”
INDIE REPORT – SLEDGE: THE UNTOLD STORY
A well written, masterfully executed mockumentary that all fans of film need to see. Then buy it!
REPORTING FROM STAR WARS: IN CONCERT
Gotta be on your guard here. At any moment a nerd could swoop in with a sneak attack.
AVATAR DAY IN L.A.
Granted, the world of Pandora resembles very little of our world here, and CGI may be the only way for us to see it all the way Cameron intends. But compared to the real-world footage shot for the film, Pandora looks like the world of Myst.
REPORTING FROM THE FLOOR OF COMIC-CON
The comedian in me wants to say that Comic-Con is like the West Hollywood Halloween Carnival, only gayer. So I’ll say it.
