Throughout the episodic and ultimately annoyingly unresolved WORLD WAR Z, we have the lovely face of Brad Pitt filling the screen. As U.N. investigator Gerry Lane, it is his story that leads us through another zombie apocalypse, starting with the odd happenings during his rush hour in Philadelphia, to his increasingly desperate globe-trotting in an… Read More »
THIS IS THE END
THIS IS THE END is a ribald frolic of a film that willfully, gleefully skewers both film conventions and the cult of celebrity. As the world collapses into fire, brimstone, and anatomically correct demons, an inept band of well-known actors attempts to keep death at bay while the film careens through every horror fiick ever… Read More »
SOMM
When you or I sip a glass of wine, we experience the aroma and the flavor as we quaff it down. When a sommelier sips wine, he or she experiences a universe captured in a moment of time. The art, the craft, the history, the geography, even the time of year are there to be… Read More »
GROWN UPS 2
A question that I like to ask of comedians who veer towards the edgy is if there is anything off limits when it comes to comedy. I have gotten many great answers over the years, but the one that was the most succinct came from Orlando Jones. Not funny, thats off limits. There may be… Read More »
I’M SO EXCITED (“Los amantes pasajeros”)

In Almodovars universe, absurdity is the rule, extrapolating reality to its farthest possibilities to make a point that… Read More »
THE LONE RANGER
There may be a way to mix the monumental tragedy of the Native American genocide with a screwball comedy about a well-meaning chucklehead and his mystically addled Comanche sidekick, but Gore Verbinski has not found it in his pretentious and smug version of THE LONE RANGER. True to the Verbinski style, this re-telling of the… Read More »
WHITE HOUSE DOWN
WHITE HOUSE DOWN is not a film of firsts. Its not the first film this year to depict an armed takeover of the eponymous building. And its not the first time that Roland Emmerich has destroyed it. He has, however, made it more fun than the other film, and only slightly more plausible than when… Read More »
RED 2
RED was a delightful romp wherein seasoned and deadly retired secret agents of several stripes taught a callow world the advantages of age and experience. In RED 2, the world has learned its lesson, and so, while the characters are still delightful, they really have nowhere to go that isnt a re-hash of every spy… Read More »

PACIFIC RIM
PACIFIC RIM is a blockbuster of a curiosity. A film top-heavy with plot, but one that plods along at a oddly pedestrian pace as it charts the end of the world as we know it. It is also oddly populated with leads that are wafer-thin characters, and supporting players that, while not necessarily deep, are… Read More »
