DVD Review: Disney’s UP and Monster’s Inc. Blu-ray
So there is no real need to bore you with what many already know and that is these are my two favorite Pixar movies of all time with The Incredibles right in the mix there. Perhaps the reason why these two are my favorite it because of the imaginative nature of both.
UP
Let’s start with this [...]
UNHINGED || Movie Review: The House of the Devil
When I first heard about the The House of the Devil, my heart skipped a beat. I thought, “This could be the movie! This could save horror from the Michael Bays of the world!” Naturally, I was excited. I found the earliest opportunity to go see this apparent salvation of the horror genre.
The House of [...]
Law Abiding Citizen - What Did I Think?
So many of you have gotten to see my video review of the film but now I can write a little more detail and thoughts of the film which stars Gerard Butler and Jaimie Foxx.
Law Abiding Citizen is a spectacular thriller combining the violent nature of revenge with the evoking emotion of deep, horrific loss. Certain elements [...]
Movie Review: Paranormal Activity
My father called me a couple weeks ago and told me I had to see this new horror movie. He told me that Paranormal Activity was an underground sensation that has been taking the country by storm. Well, my dad is not particularly in the know, so I just ignored him. Then I was checking [...]
Script Review: Aaron Sorkin’s The Social Network
The Social Network written by: Aaron Sorkin - May 2008 Draft Review

New York Film Festival Review: Lars von Trier’s Antichrist
There is nothing I like more on a rainy New York Saturday than being emotionally abused by filmmakers. And so I set out to see Lars von Trier’s new film at the New York Film Festival (trailer below). I arrived early, afraid of the lines that plague film festivals, and for the first time in [...]
TV Review: Stargate Universe
Twelve years ago Showtime and MGM saw fit to bring Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin’s Stargate film to the small-screen as a procedural space adventure complete with action and humor that lasted 10 seasons with a spin-off series for 5 seasons. The Stargate franchise has been a bread and butter series for MGM and the Syfy [...]
DVD Review: Castle Season 1 (DVD)
Another one of my favorite mid-season series, Castle, is a new hip version of Murder She Wrote meets Moonlighting. The series is a mystery series that relies heavily on its star Nathan Fillion. In the series Fillion plays Rick Castle, a world famous crime novelist whose stories come to life when a copycat killer follows [...]
TIFF Report: Whip-It! Review
In Whip it, Ellen Page is Bliss Cavender - a quintessential Texas teen who competes in beauty pageants to please her overbearing mother (Marcia Gay Harden) until she joins a local roller derby league. Based on the book “Derby Girl” by Shauna Cross (she also wrote the screenplay), the film shows much triteness; the richness [...]
