Where no man has gone before, for the second time, again and once more. Repeat. For the third time. I could have sworn I had written this already but whatever.
Star Trek in all it’s incarnations has become a staple for SciFi lovers everywhere and with the current fad for reboots it was only a matter [...]
I remember the old Astro Boy on TV oh so many years ago. It was… not something I remember much of, I was less than 10 at the time. Definitely didn’t think it was worth a film, but whatever.
The new film is different, and surprisingly American… even though it’s a Japanese Manga with a Chinese [...]

“Something about a Twinkie reminded him about a time not so long ago, when things were simple and not so fucking psychotic.” I can see that being a whole bunch of true, though you might want to change that to your favorite snack. I like Snickers bars but Twinkies would do in a pinch.

This film received critical reviews among other critics. It has been described as an original romantic comedy, a classic they say. I don’t think so. Sure, this movie is creative, intelligent and witty… but it seems like I’ve seen it before, in a bunch of different movies.
First off, it uses a non-linear narrative. Now that’s [...]

Henrik Ibsen was a true great. No cast, no director should be allowed to desecrate that greatness by a mediocre performance of an Ibsen work.

Caliban’s Rebellion is a dramatic adaptation of a work of Shakespeare in typical CenterStage Productions’ style. Drawing on The Tempest for inspiration Caliban’s Rebellion attempts to paint Caliban in a more forgiving light and give a slightly different view from the traditional interpretation. So, you may be wondering… is it any good?
That depends…
In the beginning…

This movie was the last of the Best Picture nominees I got a chance to look at. I was initially hesitant to seek this one out primarily because of Day-Lewis’ performance in Gangs of New York. While I admired that performance it was completely at odds with everything I remembered from his past. It also [...]
Michael Clayton is the second Best Picture Academy Award nominated film for 2008 we’ll be looking at before the night in question. And no, it’s not about American Football (or ‘Football’ as the Americans like to call it), but rather a legal drama in which we see George Clooney, Tom Wilkinson and Tilda Swinton give [...]
Remember Knocked Up? Geek meets girl. Geek sleeps with girl. Out pops baby. Well, Juno is more of the same… except all the parent’s to be are highschoolers. Usually, I wouldn’t be interested by something as mundane and Oprahesque as a drama comedy about unplanned teenage pregnancy. However, Jason Reitman’s directing and Ellen Page’s quirky [...]
