Doctor Who: Into The Dalek was revealing and fun
Clara sent The Doctor for coffee, and along the way, he got a bit distracted. Peter Capaldi continues his journey, or we could say this is where he begins the journey, to discover who he is as The Doctor. It is still a bit amazing to me that the title character of this show is […]
Peter Capaldi is Brilliant as The Doctor in Doctor Who: Deep Breath
Last night was the season 8 premiere of Doctor Who, and the premiere of Peter Capaldi as The Doctor. What a premiere it was, while I would love to say it was perfect, I cannot. Don’t let that fool you, I thought Capaldi was magnificent, the tone was appropriately foreboding and unsure, and the Doctor’s […]

Box Office Report Aug 18
This week at the box office Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtles managed to hang onto the number one spot, but only just, trailed by Guardians of the Galaxy only $3.5 millions short. While newcomers Let’s Be Cops, The Expendables 3, and The Giver all showed up 3rd, 4th, and 5th place respectively. Totals for last weekend […]
The Art of the films Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and Rise of the Planet of the Apes
The Art of the Films: Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and Rise of the Planet of the Apes is a stunning look behind the camera of these two films. This book offers a look at the concept art and behind the sense photographs, giving a detailed look at the making of these films. […]
Box Office Report August 11
This Box Office Report sees something terrible happen. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles defeated the Guardians of the Galaxy by just over $23 million. It really isn’t a surprise,Ninja Turtles was a highly anticipated film with a substantial cult following, it would have been more surprising had the film not opened in the number one spot. […]
Box Office Report August 04
This week we are all Groot, with an opening total almost half a million away from Captain America: Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy had Marvel Studio’s 4th highest opening weekend. This also puts Guardians at the top of the list for any Marvel Studios non-sequel. Lucy held onto second place with $18 million, and […]
Guardians of the Galaxy may be the most fun Marvel film yet
Guardians of the Galaxy has so much going for it that it is almost unfair to compare it to any of the other films in the Marvel cinematic universe. At least without noting that without the previous Marvel films built a framework, upon which the Star Lord danced. Of the Marvel films this is […]
Box Office Report July 28th
In this week’s box office report Lucy soundly overpowered Hercules, and they both overthrew Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. And So It Goes opens to mixed reviews and a very lackluster opening return. Overall this weekend held absolutely no surprises, and nothing particularly interesting. It appears everyone is holding out to see Guardians […]
Luc Besson’s Lucy is simply awesome
Lucy was so remarkably unexpected I was nearly speechless as I left the theatre. I have started paying such little attention to film advertisements that I completely missed who made this film. It is possible that the American marketing arm of Universal Pictures decided the name Luc Besson was not as big a draw as […]
Zach Braff’s Wish I Was Here is emotionally impressive
This is a story about finding the people you have become while you were busy trying to live the life you always imagined. It is a story about family, about fathers and sons, husbands and wives. Everyday life happens, and it can happen to you, or all around you, it can pass by, or sweep […]
And so it Goes is delightful and touching
Rob Reiner’s newest film is a refreshing return to a comedic films and a reminder that sometimes directors don’t evolve as much as we would like. While I found a great deal to enjoy in this film, I have doubts anyone much younger than myself would be able to say the same. This is most […]
Box Office Report, July 21
This week the box office is once again ruled by apes as The Purge: Anarchy, Planes: Fire & Rescue, and Sex Tape all fail to knock Caesar from his throne. Next week will prove an interesting challenge with a major action film, a thriller, and a Rob Reiner comedy all opening. The new films are […]
Disney’s Planes: Fire & Rescue is surprising and enjoyable
The sequel to Planes, which is a spinoff of the Pixar Cars series, takes a turn away from competitive sport theme of its predecessor. This is what I found the most refreshing aspect of this film. The focus was moved away from competition, and instead on personal growth and helping others. In a big way, […]
