Killer Elite (2011–116 mins) Jason Statham, Clive Owen and Robert De Niro I am a HUGE fan of all three of these action giants in this spy triller. I have been saying for a while now that Statham is an actor who is really coming into his own as a vehicle for action movies as […]

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 (2011–117 mins) Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner Twilight is a pretty polarizing franchise. On one hand you have the teeny-bopper girls, and love struck women who faun over the guys in the movie and the doomed from the start love story. Then you also get the […]

Moneyball (2011- 133 mins) Brad Pitt, Robin Wright and Jonah Hill I am a huge baseball fan and I am also a pretty big believer in the whole “saber-metrics” craze that Bill James wrote about, which Billy Beane brought to the bigs in the late 90’s early 00’s. So naturally I was wanting to see […]

Well, 2011 grinded to a screeching halt on me in an epidemic of busy-ness in the real world. I wasn’t able to get up about 10 reviews I wanted to, and my own commentary on the Penny Arcade vs Ocean Media fiasco will have to be saved for another time, or swept under the rug […]

Hesher (2010– 106 mins) Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Devin Brochu and Natalie Portman There have always been stories in film involving the mysterious stranger who comes out of nowhere to help some main characters to solve some trouble and then fade into the blackness or walk off into the sunset when it’s all done. Whether it’s a […]
