Review: ‘Thor’
It was always about fathers and sons. Actually, that’s what Jack Kirby wrote in his Fourth World saga for DC, but as that was an […]
Review: Your Highness
It would be easy to just write off Your Highness as that stoner, fantasy movie from the Pineapple Express guys, and actually I almost did. […]
Review: Arthur
When a film is remade, it should be for a good reason. Maybe it wasn’t all that great to begin with or maybe it’s so […]
WonderCon 2011: Wright And Ronan Bring Hanna
Guest coverage by David Tapia At Wondercon this year, Focus Features promoted Hanna, the latest film from Joe Wright starring Saoirse Ronan. The two previously […]
Review: ‘Super’

Review: Red Riding Hood
To appreciate Red Riding Hood as a horror film, you have to put yourself into the mindset of a 13-year-old girl. Scared yet? Because that’s […]
Review: Take Me Home Tonight
It is modern cinema’s version of Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey. A super-intelligent but physically weak and unimposing young man ventures into the night — the […]
Review: The Adjustment Bureau
Sure, everybody talks about free will, but nobody really wants to do something about it. In a way that people don’t want to admit, it […]
Review: Hall Pass
It’s hard to put a finger on exactly why Hall Pass doesn’t work. Considering one of its lamer running gags, that’s only appropriate. What should […]
First Trailer For X-Men: First Class
Please, please, please let this officially be considered a preboot of the franchise. The trailer revives every bit of excitement for X-Men that the trailer for X2 gave me, […]
Review: ‘The Green Hornet’
How do you update a superhero who actually predates comic books? That’s obviously hard enough, but just for laughs and awkward explanations about intellectual property, […]
Review: Black Swan
Guest review by Lyz Reblin My second favorite film, following Network, is The Red Shoes. This movie is gorgeous in how it is shot and has […]
First Shot Of Andrew Garfield In The Spidey-Suit
Thin like a Ditko drawing, his strength and powers clearly not affecting his physicality. Look closely, and you’ll see he’s got mechanical webshooters. People, Marc […]
Review: Young Adult
Guest review by Kevin Hull Young Adult is a unique, unconventional, extremely well-made film. That’s as much as can be said with any degree of […]
