Don’t Let Yourself Be Letdown By “Sinister”
“Sinister” is not your normal trashy Hollywood horror movie – at least for the first half of the film. No, it disguises itself quite well as a surefire scare with its pulse-pounding soundtrack but eventually amounts to nothing more than an abundance of cliché plot twists that try so hard to be...

“The Paperboy” Is A Seriously Sick-Minded Southern Noir
Lee Daniels has proven to be one of the most provocative filmmakers of this generation. Although his 2009 film “Precious” garnered up every award it could possibly get, it still offended a whole lot of people. I’m here to tell you that his newest release “The Paperboy” is nothing short of being as...

“Argo” Is A Magnificent Political Drama
There is something special about a film that has direct relation to current events – especially when it’s a period piece set over thirty years prior to when it’s released. I’m sure when the script for “Argo” fell on director Ben Affleck’s desk, he thought of it more as a period piece than a...

Tim Burton’s “Frankenweenie” Is A Magnificent Work Of An Auteur
There was a general misconception – which I believed wholeheartedly, for the record – that Tim Burton was done being a great director at the beginning of the new millennium. His 2010 version of “Alice In Wonderland” nearly did me in, and I was convinced that “Sweeney Todd” was only as great as it...

“Taken 2” Takes Too Much From The Original
Because audiences couldn’t get enough of watching Liam Neeson beat the living shit out of a bunch of thuggish foreigners with “Taken,” we’ve been graced with the not so substantial sequel conveniently titled “Taken 2” – which isn’t even in the same universe as the quality of the original. ...

If You Like Time Travel And Blood, Check Out “Looper”
For all of you fans of “Back To The Future” out there, there may be a new favorite time travel movie for you; Rian Johnson’s “Looper” is a truly entertaining combination of gore and science fiction, a cerebral thriller/comedy characterized by its utter straightforwardness even with its puzzled...

Paul Thomas Anderson Is At The Top Of His Game With “The Master”
Paul Thomas Anderson – the man who has brought us such modern classics as “Boogie Nights,” “Magnolia,” and “There Will Be Blood” – has directed a film in “The Master” that very well could be dubbed the masterwork of cinema in 2012; maybe even the masterwork of this entire decade when it’s all said...

“Dredd 3D” Might Be One Of The Biggest Surprises In Film During 2012
When it comes to remaking movies, usually the films that are remade are the films that were once successful – often critically and financially. Breaking that trend is director Pete Travis, who with his new film “Dredd 3D” remade a movie that was considered an undisputed failure even though it...
