The Maze Runner is a labyrinth of disappointment

The Maze Runner is a labyrinth of disappointment

I wish I could say The Maze Runner was a suspenseful and intriguing film that held me captivated until the very end, but I cannot.  There are a few redeeming qualities, but not enough to make up the ground lost by sloppy direction and a bad script. The screenplay, based upon the novel The Maze […]

This Is Where I Leave You is as serious as it is funny

This Is Where I Leave You is as serious as it is funny

I love comedy, in a close second I love a good dramatic story.  If you happen to combine those two elements, more often than not you end up with a confused mess that is neither funny nor profound.  To my delight, This Is Where I Leave You is not a confused mess.  It is a […]

The Maze Runner: Is It Worth Your Babysitting Money?

The Maze Runner (2014 Film) Release date: September 19, 2014 (USA) Director: Wes Ball Staring: Dylan O’Brien, Kaya Scodelario, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Will Poulter   It’s easy to see from the trailer for The Maze Runner that we are in the era of YA novels turned blockbusters. I personally blame this bastardization of text on Twilight (only because I liked the Harry […]

Robot of Sherwood was playful and nostalgic

Robot of Sherwood was playful and nostalgic

Doctor Who: Robot Of Sherwood was a little disappointing because the script appears fantastic, but appeared absentmindedly directed.  This is one episode I had to watch twice to be sure that I was not simply misunderstanding the episode (thanks to a long convention weekend) on my part.  After my second viewing, I feel more confident […]

On Location with Ronnie Angel: The Vanishing (1993)

For my first foray into the world of filming locations I have chosen to focus on one of my all time favorite movies and one that made full use of the Seattle area in the 1993 film The Vanishing. The Vanishing is actually a remake of a 1988 French thriller of the same name. This […]
