BAD TIMES AT THE EL ROYALE

October 14, 2018 By Leave a Comment

BAD TIMES AT THE EL ROYALE

Drew Goddard crafts tales that are multi-layered and philosophically challenging. From his days in the Whedon-verse to the deliciously exercise in meta-text, CABIN IN THE WOODS, there is always much more going on than the surface narrative. And so it is with BAD TIMES AT THE EL ROYALE, which may not be the flawless wonder… Read More »

HOW TO LOSE FRIENDS AND ALIENATE PEOPLE

October 21, 2014 By Leave a Comment

There are a few bright moments punctuating HOW TO LOSE FRIENDS AND ALIENATE PEOPLE based the memoir of the same name by Toby Young. Very few. And all of them courtesy of its star, Simon Pegg, a man of great comedic gifts who finds himself in a vehicle greatly unworthy of them. Pegg plays Sydney… Read More »

MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS, THE

October 21, 2014 By Leave a Comment

Two men, each determined to cross the border from Kuwait into Iraq for reasons they find compelling to themselves, wait with some impatience to get going. One is a man whose consciousness has been expanded beyond the quotidienne, and the other, a man whose consciousness has been contracted to the confines of his own psyche… Read More »

TRON – LEGACY

October 21, 2014 By Leave a Comment

The original TRON was a film very much of its time, a time before e-mail and VOD, when those who had them looked upon the strange box sitting their desks with a mixture of awe and trepidation. Not having grown up with them, the population whose closest encounter until then with a computer had been… Read More »

R.I.P.D

October 21, 2014 By Leave a Comment

It’s not enough that R.I.P.D. is bad, it’s also derivatively bad while also being mind-numbingly boring.  Whatever wit or smarts or silliness the Dark Horse graphic novel of the same name by Peter Lenkov possesses, it is not found in this screen adaptation that is neither fun nor funny. In a messy pastiche of GHOSTBUSTERS,… Read More »

SEABISCUIT

October 21, 2014 By Leave a Comment

If you are very lucky, who won’t know anything about Seabiscuit’s story so that this remarkable true tale can unfold for you in all its improbable glory. Gary Ross’ adaptation of Laura Hillenbrand’s bestseller, also titled Seabiscuit, is a heartwarming, uplifting experience and while such adjectives are not usually paired with films that are also… Read More »

IRON MAN — DVD

October 21, 2014 By Leave a Comment

It’s not the reason for most of us to go out and purchase the IRON MAN DVD, but it is certainly worth noting that a preview for the J. J. Abrams Star Trek flick is on it.  The real reason to buy the DVD, or at least rent it, is the whiz-bang action, the sense… Read More »

IRON MAN

October 21, 2014 By Leave a Comment

IRON MAN is terrific. Full of explosions, one-liners, and nifty special effects, it goes the extra mile of casting Robert Downey, Jr., one of the best actors working today, in the title role. In his capable hands, Tony Stark, inventor and purveyor of the world’s finest hi-tech weapons and party guy extraordinaire, is not just… Read More »
