The Master
The Master - Comeback
I was sitting in the theater Friday morning/afternoon watching "The Master."
.........that's it. No funny little story, I was just literally watching "The Master." However, I will say; Welcome back Joaquin Phoenix. My...

Easy Money
Easy Money: Joy
(1983)
Here's a film that I've always liked, why because it always brought me joy. Rodney Dangerfield is funny as hell. The story about Rodney who drinks, gambles and does drugs. His best friend is Joe Pesci...Yeah sounds...

Schindler's List
Schindler's List - Remember
With the Jewish High Holy Days under way, I felt it only appropriate to include a movie that I not only find amazing, but in a way, a birth rite of sorts for the Jewish religion. Move over "Hebrew Hammer," step aside "Fiddler...
Mulholland Falls
Mulholland Falls: Falls
(1996)
(Story from IMDB)
In 1950's Los Angeles, a special crime squad of the LAPD investigates the murder of a young woman.
"This isn't America, Jack. This is L.A."
Listen, yes there are many issues with this film, but its watchable....

Simplistic TV: Last Resort
SHORT
I'm a big fan of submarine movies. Das Boot. The Hunt For Red October. Crimson Tide. Hell, even U-571 has it's moments. There is something about the claustrophobia of a sub. Something about the danger you can only hear...

Cosmopolis
TOUGH
Cosmopolis is TOUGH to get through. Cosmopolis is TOUGH to understand. Cosmopolis is TOUGH to review. But ultimately, Cosmopolis is TOUGH to dismiss. The story of a twenty something billionaire asset manager journeying into the...

The Raid: Redemption (Matt's Take)
The Raid: Redemption - Overkill
The days are pretty much over where you get old-school action movies that say "Screw the story, we don't need a plot, let's just kick people in the face, shoot them in the head, and break necks!" Sure, we have "The...

Sleuth
SLICK
Sleuth is SLICK. Sleuth is stylish. Sleuth is surprising on many levels. It is the ultimate game of cat and mouse with stakes that are always fun to explore cinematically. Adultery. Revenge. Murder. You know,...

The Mechanic
The Mechanic: Works
(The 2011 remake)
Cheesy Acting, Cheesy Directing with a few plot holes.
Well listen it was on Showtime and it was late. I thought hey what the hell, lets give it a shot.
It Works, I did enjoyed the film but it is far from perfect.
It's...

The Dark Knight Returns Part 1 (DJ's Take)
UNFLINCHING
Lets face it. Despite Nolan's Batman run, when it comes to bringing their creations to the silver screen, WB/DC Comics sucks. This is a company that owns the rights to ALL of their creations, unlike Marvel....can cross over WHOEVER they...
The Cabin in the Woods
The Cabin in the Woods - Tribute
*There could be some spoilers in the links, so tread with care*
The 2012 Summer movie season is over and I saw all the big ones; The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises, Amazing Spider-Man (even though some people wouldn't agree...

The Wire, Wrap-Up
*Spoilers Ahead*
The case is closed on "The Wire." Some of the good guys won, some of the bad guys won, and there were plenty of people caught in the cross-fire, but it was a ride that everyone should be willing to take if you enjoy story and character-driven...
Underworld: Awakening
Underworld: Awakening: BORING
bor·ingadj.Uninteresting and tiresome; dull.Sums it up!Well...Yep I finally got around to watching this damn film.This was the 5th time I started the film and finished it...It will be the last time too.First the story sucked.Acting...

Simplistic TV: Longmire
GENERIC
Do you want to see a terrific cable television show that is a modern day western starring a cowboy hat wearing, no nonsense lawman who is based on a character from a best selling novel? Yeah? Then watch Justified on FX. Do you want...

Simplistic TV: The Wire, Season Five
The Wire, Season Five - Bravo
*Spoilers Ahead*
After watching four seasons of "The Wire" in about the span of three weeks not only was I heavily invested with what would happen to the Barksdale Crew, Jimmy McNulty, Bunk Moreland, the New Day Co-Op, and Omar...

J. Edgar
J. Edgar: Solid
This movie is fine, and thats it.
I would say it's a weak Clint Eastwood film.
Leonardo DiCaprio is good, like usual.
His make up was good. Clyde Tolson's wasn't. Really got on my nervers every time I saw it.
I would like...
Simplistic TV: The Wire, Season Four
The Wire, Season Four - Chilling
*Spoilers Ahead*
Through three seasons of "The Wire" we have gone from the streets, to the docks, and back to the streets so it was only natural that we visited somewhere that we would think would be safe and would give us a...

Snow White And The Huntsman
YAWN
More like SLOW White And The Huntsman...am I right? (Cheap Rimshot) Sorry. I'm sorry. God I really don't want to lay into this movie. I really don't. The concept, the idea, the attempt to try and make something different...
