With its awesome animation and vivid colors, Rango is flashy enough to amuse kids [who won’t understand much of it] – but its sophisticated storytelling and references make it a joy for serious film buffs.

The 83rd Academy Awards – Could Have Been Worse!
Well, that it’s for another year. The Oscars® are done – and the show was only ten minutes long! [That’s not a record – I’m certain it came in on time once, a few decades back…] For the record, James Franco and Anne Hathaway should probably not be asked back to co-host. Franco was surprisingly […]
2011 Indie Spirit Awards: Black Swan 4; The King’s Speech 2!
Because the Indie Spirit Awards don’t have a hopelessly outdated and unnecessary set of rules for choosing the best foreign film of the year, both Black Swan and The King’s Speech took home major awards at the 2011 Indie Spirit Awards. The biggest surprise, though, had to be Winter’s Bone taking both supporting acting awards. […]

Drive Angry provides all three – in very good 3D that doesn’t blur or smudge during the action scenes [which is kinda crucial – the film is […]

Unknown, Liam’s BadAssness Continues – Michelle’s Review!
Let’s keep this review short. I woke up one morning and much to my surprise Liam Neeson, of all people, has turned himself into quite a capable action hero. At his age, shouldn’t he be doing Romantic Comedies or Dramas? Not beating the snot out of people and running around crowded German Streets. Another thing […]
I Am Number Four – A Little Romance, A Lot Of Action!
There are some producers whose stamp can be seen on a film regardless of who directed it [think Transformers – Steven Spielberg’s influence could be felt throughout, even above Michael Bay’s action sequences]. With I Am Number Four, it is Michael Bay’s influence that overrides D.J. Caruso’s direction in the final act – resulting in […]
Unknown Confirms Liam Neeson As Viable Action Hero!
Taken established Liam Neeson as an action hero with tremendous acting chops. The vastly superior Unknown confirms that he does, indeed have the goods.
Thor: The Mighty Theatrical Trailer!
Spectacular trailer! Looks like there will be no middle ground here – either it will rock the house, or fail epically! Either way, it will not be boring!
