Movie and DVD reviews
Does ‘Super 8′ live up to the hype? Well, I think it is the kind of movie that inspires kids to become filmmakers. So yeah, it pretty much does.
Remember a time before everyone had a video camera on their phone? ‘Super 8′ revisits 1979 and follows a group of kids making their own zombie movie … on film … and stumble upon something much more frightening.
The new X-Men film is flawed and rushed, but filled with moments of triumph.
If it wasn’t for one week in the summer of 2009, for me ‘The Company Men’ would enter my mental pile of quickly forgotten films.
There’s been a lot of talk about how Kevin Smith is crazy for distributing his new movie ‘Red State’ himself, but aside from all that, is the movie any good?
‘Hanna’ is a departure for director Joe Wright, whose previous work consists of dramas, such as ‘The Soloist,’ and literary adaptations, such as ‘Atonement’ and ‘Pride & Prejudice.’ This is a strong venture into the realm of the action driven thriller.
If you’re worried about a movie that takes place before an already popular trilogy, have no fear. ‘X-Men: First Class’ is no ‘Phantom Menace.’
