[Review] Carrie (2013)

[Review] Carrie (2013)

It perhaps isn’t even worth mentioning the remake trend, especially with horror films. We all know about it, it has been around for years and shows no signs of going away. This was a trend during the early days of cinema, and perhaps then it was a bit more accepted and understandable, now though it … Continue reading →

[Review] Grudge Match (2013)

[Review] Grudge Match (2013)

Rocky vs. Raging Bull! Stallone vs. De Niro, the two stars of two of the greatest films ever made. GRUDGE MATCH is what we get with that very simple premise, in some ways this feels like a lighter version of ROCKY BALBOA, with the washed up old boxers going at it one more time.

[Review] August: Osage County (2013)

[Review] August: Osage County (2013)

AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY began life as a play written by Tracy Letts, Tracy in fact won the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for Drama with this piece.

[Review] Captain Phillips (2013)

[Review] Captain Phillips (2013)

CAPTAIN PHILLIPS is a rather extraordinary film, dealing with a subject matter that has been very news worthy for several years, taking a true account and not only respecting all those involved but keeping the film very grounded and extremely well made. This is a very impressive effort from director Paul Greengrass, who uses his … Continue reading →

[Review] Frozen (2013)

[Review] Frozen (2013)

Disney is back with another animated feature with Princesses, but this latest offering FROZEN is rather different than the usual fare. With TANGLED, we got something we weren’t entire used to, it wasn’t a film reliant on the Princess needing a man to get herself out of trouble. It is great to see the old … Continue reading →
