review
MOVIE REVIEW – THE GREAT GATSBY
They say the devil is in the details, and it certainly was with this film.
MOVIE REVIEW – OBLIVION
Honestly, I’m trying to remember what happened during the mid part of this movie other then a few hazy isolated moments of plot development
MOVIE REVIEW – OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN
The dialogue was it’s only strong area, but liking the film because of that would be akin to thinking a park bench a good snack because someone spilled your favorite espresso on it.
MOVIE REVIEW – “RAIDING THE LOST ARK: A FILMUMENTARY”
Movie Guy Justin Bowler fills Indiana Jones fans in on an inventive new feature-length documentary about “Raiders of the Lost Ark” that’s available for free on Vimeo.
MOVIE REVIEW – EVIL DEAD
The demon-speeding-through-the-woods shots that we’ve come to love in the original are still in tact and still effective.
NEW ON DVD – THIS IS 40
“This is 40” is a return to the same kind of foul-mouthed-with-a-heart-of-gold comedies that make up the best of the Apatow catalog.
INDIE REPORT – FLY AWAY
Kerr Lordygan reviews the indie film “Fly Away”, and gives Ashley Rickards huge props for her lead performance.
DOC-UARY: 31 DOCS IN 31 DAYS – PART THREE
Chris MacKenzie continues his month-long tear through documentaries on NetFlix. This week’s offerings are serious – “Crossing the Line”, “Herb and Dorothy” and “Forgiving Dr. Mengele”
MOVIE REVIEW – “RED DAWN”
Not as much fun as a pageant of big-breasted women.
MOVIE REVIEW – THE ODD LIFE OF TIMOTHY GREEN
“The Odd Life of Timothy Green” is about a sterile couple, so…start getting excited.
MOVIE REVIEW – LAWLESS
This film plays out like a quality western without the old west.
MOVIE REVIEW – TED
On the whole, I can recommend “Ted”. There are a ton of good laughs and if you’re a “Family Guy” fan, the faithful were out at the screening I went to and it was a huge crowd-pleaser.
MOVIE REVIEW – BRAVE
After “Cars 2”, it’s good to know that some of Hollywood’s best filmmakers can pick themselves up and dust themselves off so quickly.
MOVIE REVIEW – ROCK OF AGES
This film immediately felt like someone’s wacky remembrance of what they heard the ‘80s were like, instead of a portrait of how they were, told by people who were there.
Rock of Ages- NEWS 92FM – 6/15/12
Movie Guy Paul Preston talks with afternoon anchors Bonnie Petrie and Mike Barajas about what’s new in theaters. This week they cover the new movie musical starring Tom Cruise and Alec Baldwin, “Rock of Ages”.
MOVIE REVIEW – BATTLESHIP
I’m going to attempt something never done before, and something that should not be done without supervision. I’m going to reference Shakespeare when speaking of “Battleship”, but this movie was a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
Moonrise Kingdom, The Dictator & Chimpanzee – NEWS 92FM – 5/29/12
Movie Guy Paul Preston talks with afternoon anchors Bonnie Petrie and Mike Barajas about what’s new in theaters, including the new DisneyNature film “Chimpanzee”, the latest Sacha Baron Cohen comedy “The Dictator” and the new quirky-fest from Wes Anderson, “Moonrise Kingdom”
Dark Shadows – NEWS 92FM – 5/11/12
Movie Guy Paul Preston talks with afternoon anchors Bonnie Petrie and Mike Barajas about what’s new in theaters. This week, the Tim Burton movie “Dark Shadows”. If you like Tim Burton movies, you’ll like it. If you don’t, you won’t.
MOVIE REVIEW – DARK SHADOWS
Tim Burton only makes Tim Burton movies, so whatever the original source material, in the end, it’ll get turned into a Tim Burton movie.
MOVIE REVIEW – THE AVENGERS
The word “Epic” gets thrown around a little too much today. It’s used to describe parties and tweets, but this movie in the true sense, is epic.
MOVIE REVIEW – JOHN CARTER
Really, how hard was it to understand this film people? I know the trailers made it look like a mindless action flick, but it’s not. I’m sorry you couldn’t waltz in 10-minutes late with your face full of popcorn and your butter-stained fingers endlessly fumbling over your cell phone, and not be able to figure out what’s going on. It’s called attention. If you pay it, you’ll get it.
The Oscars – Best Supporting Actors & Picture – NEWS 92FM
Movie Guy Paul Preston talks with afternoon anchors Bonnie Petrie and Mike Barajas about the actors nominated for Oscars for Best Supporting Actor and Actress, including Christopher Plummer, Kenneth Branagh, Octavia Spencer and Berenice Bejo. They also predict the big prize – Best Picture.
MOVIE REVIEW – MONEYBALL – NEW ON BLU-RAY, DVD & STREAMING
This film taught me one very important thing….. Art Howe is evil. Really evil.
MOVIE REVIEW – JOURNEY 2: THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND
Mr. Caine, you lead me astray, you dirty rotten scoundrel!
MOVIE REVIEW – THE TREE OF LIFE – NEW ON BLU-RAY, DVD & STREAMING
The most frustrating thing about this film is that inside this confusing movie is a very good movie trying to get out.
MOVIE REVIEW – RED TAILS
With a thumping dub-step soundtrack, planes performing harrowing maneuvers, and requisite nasty enemies (Nazis, in this case), the trailers for “Red Tails” have clearly been geared to pump up visceral excitement in (likely) largely young and male audiences.
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close & Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol – NEWS 92 FM – 12/23/11
Movie Guy Paul Preston talks with afternoon anchors Bonnie Petrie and Mike Barajas about what’s new in long-titled movies this holiday season, covering THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – GHOST PROTOCOL and EXTREMELY LOUD AND INCREDIBLY CLOSE.
THE DEVIL’S DOUBLE – NEW ON BLU-RAY, DVD & STREAMING
A flashy feature film entrance for the excellent Dominic Cooper but lacks real punch due to sparse story-induced character introspection. A good rental if you’ve seen everything else at the Redbox.
MOVIE REVIEW – THE ARTIST
“The Artist” is a movie that is in love with movies. Turns out I’m in love with movies, too. So this film and I are a perfect fit.
MOVIE REVIEW – ARTHUR CHRISTMAS
I don’t think Aardman has the means or desire to American-ize one of their projects, and we’re all better off for that.
MOVIE REVIEW – PUSS IN BOOTS
Is it possible that this is the funniest movie of the year? See it while it’s still in theaters.
NEW ON BLU-RAY, DVD & STREAMING – SEASON OF THE WITCH
Unpleasant in all aspects. Far too violent for children and incomprehensible to adults. Never watch it, never consider it.
MOVIE REVIEW – THE DESCENDANTS
If you are looking for well crafted, well acted, deliberately paced, and impressively funny/emotional film, go check out ‘The Descendants’ when it comes to your town.
NEW ON BLU-RAY, DVD & STREAMING – THE KILLER INSIDE ME
A BIG-ASS pile of fashionably dressed, 1960’s corpses.
MOVIE REVIEW – DRIVE
Nicolas Winding Refn’s “Drive” feels like a throwback to the 1980s. But don’t expect Romy and Michelle to pop up, rather a mood and tone is created here that longs for “Manhunter”’s Will Graham to make an appearance, as Refn piles on gobs of visual style that would make Michael Mann proud.
BLU-RAY & DVD CAPSULE REVIEWS
Capsule reviews by The Movie Guys include “The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia” and “Paul”. Quick plot, quick opinion and we’re out.
MOVIE REVIEW – RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES
It is friggin’ awesome.
MOVIE REVIEW – CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER/COWBOYS & ALIENS
Spoiler Alert: “Captain America” is awesome and “Cowboys & Aliens” isn’t.
MOVIE REVIEW – SUPER 8
Abrams has obviously given himself the specific assignment of making a send-up of a sort of film, much as Spielberg & Lucas did when they made “Raiders”
