Who doesn’t like a good Bongo Drums. We know the Fonz loved him some bongos. Here’s a pretty cool clip of Big Black from Sony Classic’s upcoming concert film/documentary Soul Power.

MOVIE REVIEW: Cotillard Sparkles – Public Enemies Does Not!
Public Enemies is definitely a Michael Mann film. Every shot [every shot selection] is beautifully composed and designed to pull the audience through the story. The production design, set design, costuming – all are amazing. Marion Cotillard makes Billy Frechette, John Dillinger’s last girlfriend, an engaging character with whom we can empathize. And that it! […]

Transformers: Revenge of the Bratty Kids with Inept Parents!
Ok, before I start my rambling, incoherent review of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, let’s start with a PSA Announcement.

MOVIE REVIEW: The Correct Title should be Transformers: Overkill of the Fallen
Words cannot describe the horrors that was witnessed while watching the latest film from Director Michael Bay. Normally, one would expect to see a great summer blockbuster and a great sequel to boot. Unfortunately, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen fails to impress summer movie audience. With its six acts within two plus hours of boring […]

MOVIE REVIEW: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen – Sometimes More is Less!
So, there are sixty-odd robots in Revenge of the Fallen. There’s also one new character of the human variety – at least, one that’s given any substantial screen time. Which should tell you how important the human part of the Transformers sequel is to director Michael Bay. It’s bad enough that we meet a millennia-old […]

The film is based on […]
MOVIE NEWS: New G.I. Joe Trailer!
The more I see of it, the more I’m strongly disliking the new G.I. Joe movie. I just can’t stand these stupid, cheesy looking Super Suits they are wearing. They look more ridiculous when they are going up against normal, non-suit wearing Cobra folks and still getting their butts handed to them. I do like […]
