Dracula Untold lacks teeth
Dracula Untold was hit and miss at best, incoherent at worse. While there were entertaining parts, and a decent story the film was plagued with inconsistencies, careless makeup and effects, and substantial plot holes. Now given that, this is a Dracula movie, and what may be the initial entry in Universal’s Monsters franchise, it might […]
Gone Girl strikes a hair-raising minor chord
David Fincher’s latest film Gone Girl is magnificent for a surprising multitude of reasons. Days after watching I am still thinking about this movie, mulling over Fincher’s construction and portrayal of Gillian Flynn’s story. By the end of the film, I can see all the pieces, and where they fit, but for some reason I […]
The Equalizer is an enthusiastic rush of action
The Equalizer, which is an adaptation of the television series, is extremely well made, incredibly entertaining and satisfying, but light on meaning. This isn’t a bad thing, carrot cake is still good, satisfying, but it doesn’t count as eating vegetables. Much like that carrot cake, this film is highly satisfactory, and it contains just enough […]

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
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 […]
Harry Potter spinoff FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM to be directed by…
Warner Bros. has declared that they want David Yates to return to the Harry Potter series for FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM. You can now declare that this is WB’s attempt to reignite the movie franchise that was straight pumping money into their coffers. Yates, if you weren’t paying attention was the director […]

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 […]

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 […]
