ABOUT TIME movie poster | ©2013 Universal Pictures

Rating: R Stars: Domhnall Gleeson, Rachel McAdams, Bill Nighy, Lydia Wilson, Lindsay Duncan, Tom Hollander Writer: Richard Curtis Director: Richard Curtis Distributor: Universal Release Date: November 1, 2013 There are moments – long stretches, even – when ABOUT TIME seems as though it’s perhaps too pleasant for its own good. It’s always agreeable and amusing – except when for its effective moments of melancholy and there are the trials and travails of dealing with life and love and time travel, but mostly, it’s a movie that urges us to live as though every day is worth experiencing twice, which is […]Read On »

ONE DIRECTION: THIS IS US movie poster | ©2013 Sony Pictures

Rating: PG Stars: Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson Director: Morgan Spurlock Distributor: Sony Pictures Release Date: August 30, 2013 There’s no question that the degree as to how much you enjoy the film ONE DIRECTION: THIS IS US is directly correlated to how much you like/love the boy band. That’s a given. So, that being said I took my niece who adores Niall, Harry, Liam, Louis and Zayn and my daughter who somewhat stomachs them to see a screening of their concert-documentary film surprisingly directed by Morgan Spurlock. Yes, that Morgan Spurlock of SUPER SIZE […]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: PG-13 Stars: Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Benedict Cumberbatch, John Cho, Simon Pegg, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Anton Yelchin, Peter Weller, Alice Eve Writers: Roberto Orci & Alex Kurtzman & Damon Lindelof, based on characters created by Gene Roddenberry Director: J.J. Abrams Distributor: Paramount Release Date: May 16, 2013 Giving any kind of plot summary of STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS runs more than the usual risk of spoilers. What can be said? Well, Captain Kirk (Chris Pine), Mr. Spock (Zachary Quinto) and the rest of the very dedicated crew of the Enterprise extricate themselves by the skin of their teeth […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Colin Firth, Emily Blunt, Anne Heche, Lucas Hedges Writer: Becky Johnston Director: Dante Ariola Distributor: Cinedigm Release Date: April 26, 2013 For those who have been in depressive funks or at least states of ennui so profound that they’ve produced fantasies of ditching it all and starting over, ARTHUR NEWMAN is here to play out the scenario. Writer Becky Johnston has constructed a hero who, having drifted into, through and out of a life he doesn’t relate to, embarks on a quest with not much more zest than he appeared to possess earlier. This makes ARTHUR […]Read On »

Rating: NC-17 Stars: Don McManus, Jay Paulson, Betsy Rue, Chris Wylde, Catherine Annette, Lee Kholafai, Lanny Joon Writers: Robert Nathan & Lukas Kendall Director: Robert Nathan Distributor: Vineyard Haven Pictures Release Date: April 5, 2013 “Found footage” is a popular horror subgenre these days. LUCKY BASTARD applies it to a thriller that is not supernatural and not exactly horror, though it’s right on the border, using the format deftly to draw us into the action right across the room. It’s unnerving and unsettling, because we like most of the readily credible characters and also because of the structure. We’ve seen […]Read On »

OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL continues to rule the boxoffice as easily as Oz (James Franco) himself rules in the Emerald City. Before the film opened the very talented actresses that play the three witches of the movie spoke of their witchy roles. Michelle Williams plays Glinda the Good Witch, Rachel Weisz is Evanora Witch of the East, and Milla Kunis is Theodroa Witch of the West. All three of the actresses had a good time making the movie, and not a single one of them didn’t enjoy being in wires and flying about the sets. “I think we all […]Read On »
