“Neighbors” Adequately Humerously Crazy (Film Review)

  Welcoming the new neighbors; or not.  If you thought you saw wild and crazy in Project X and liked the movie, then it’s time to check out the Neighbors.  It’s a silly war between a frat that’s been kicked off campus and their next door family.  Although it has its moments and will probably […]

“Railway Man” Reliving a Nightmare (Film Review)

  Taking a closer look at a true story about a prisoner of war, The Railway Man enters the indie market in the United States.  The Australian made film has all the trappings of a compelling drama, but drags and lacks compassion as an example of war crimes.

“Under the Skin” A Provocative Chiller (Film Review)

  Dark, brooding, wicked, seductive, mesmerizing and more, Under the Skin is a vision of disturbing eroticism and mystery.  Featuring an absorbing performance by Scarlett Johansson in a complex role with many empty pages of dialogue, the film shamelessly burros into the viewers mind.  Slowly letting out clues, director Jonathan Glazer leads his audience on […]

“Le Week-End” A Marriage-Go-Round” (Film Review)

  Charming, realistic and yet scary the comedy/drama Le Week-End takes you into a world with a bleak look at an aging couple that finds themselves entering a difficult time in their lives without a golden parachute.  Delightfully acted and brilliantly directed, the film is a mental picture of the evolution of a marriage.

“Grand Budapest Hotel” A Comical Escapade (Film Review)

  Quirky and comical Wes Anderson’s newest release The Grand Budapest Hotel follows the same pattern as several of his past work, but this one outdoes them all.  The sets, special computer graphics, costumes and other production values take you to a whimsical world of mystery and murder as only Anderson can depict.  If you […]
