Movie Review: Patriots Day (2016)

For the third time in recent history (with the same lead actor no less), director Peter Berg takes a contemporary event — U.S. troops in Afghanistan in “Lone Survivor,” an oil rig disaster in “Deepwater Horizon” and now with Patriots Day, the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing — brings it to the big screen and leaves…

Movie Review: Black Mass (2015)

My friend once told me a story of how he was visiting Las Vegas in the mid-1990s. He said that the person he was with, John, introduced him to a rather sharply-dressed man who told him, “Whatever you want here, just ask for it,” and then walked away. John said, “Do you know who that…

Movie Review: Jayne Mansfield’s Car (2012)

Jayne Mansfield’s Car is a tedious, depressing dysfunctional film about a tedious, depressing, dysfunctional pair of families, headed by patriarchs Robert Duvall and John Hurt, respectively.

But that white picket fence is only as strong as those who built it, and in Weaver’s case, this…

Movie Review: X-Men: First Class (2011)

The Uncanny X-Men are back in their best adventure since “X2!” In X-Men: First Class, we see, in fantastic fashion, what transpired to form them together (and tear them apart), and are fed interesting treats (especially to any hardcore buffs) like how Magneto got his helmet, who the superhero Darwin was, and even how the…

Movie Trailer: X-Men: First Class (2011)

What is probably the final trailer for X-Men: First Class, has been made available by 20th Century Fox via Yahoo! today ahead of the film’s highly anticipated June release. This latest extended teaser drops more visuals as to the looks, powers and relationships of the mutant teams and further establishes the philosophical differences between their…
