Brooklyn’s Finest (Theaters)

Brooklyn’s Finest is the latest film from acclaimed director Antoine Fuqua. The movie follows the lives of three New York cops all at different stages of their careers. When watching this film I couldn’t help but think about the movie Avatar. Both movies take familiar and somewhat recycled...

Daybreakers (Theaters)

Daybreakers is the latest movie to hop onto the vampire bandwagon. Unlike the countless other vampire flicks coming out these days, Daybreakers offers up a unique twist that not only sets it apart from other films in the genre, but provides the driving force that moves the film’s story along. ...

Law Abiding Citizen (DVD)

I’m glad to see Gerard Butler making more action oriented movies. After starring in a few yawn inducing chick flicks and a some mediocre kiddie movies, it looks like King Leonidas is starting to return to form. After watching the trailers for Law Abiding Citizen, I knew I had to see it. I wasn’t...

Pandorum (DVD)

To say that I was hyped to watch Pandorum is a bit of an understatement. The premise set up in the trailers, although a bit familiar, also seemed eerily original at the same time. I never got the chance to check it out on the big screen, but when I saw it on the video store shelf I snatched it up immediately....

Gamer (DVD)

When I first heard of the premise for Gamer, it almost resulted in an instant facepalm. It seemed like Running Man meets Matrix meets a bunch of bad ideas. Throw a role to a token rapper (in this case Cris ‘Ludacris’ Bridges) and you’ve got another cheesy, hot off the press generic...

Sherlock Holmes (Theaters)

I’ve never been much of a huge reader. I remember having to write book reports back in the day and stumbling on to a series of Sherlock Holmes books. After my first book, I was pretty hooked. Sherlock was an amazing character and I was fascinated by how he could figure out so much from just the...

Avatar 3D (Theaters)

It’s been 12 years since James Cameron set box office records and literally transformed filmmaking as we know today with Titanic.  It’s interesting to note every movie geek, critic and average joe/jane knows the name James Cameron despite only having a handful of films out.  Though he took...

Planet 51 (Theaters)

It’s been a while since I’ve seen a family film that truly was a family film. (The last family movie I thoroughly enjoyed was “UP.”) My son was captivated from beginning to end, and he understood just about everything that was going on. I found it easy and fun to watch Planet...
