I’m a little ashamed to admit this, but besides the information that I got from a quick Google search, I went into “Lemmy” without the slightest knowledge of who Lemmy, or even Motorhead were. Despite my lack of heavy metal knowledge, I am pleased to announce that “Lemmy” somehow managed to rock my socks, my [...]

A few years ago when I first heard that honey bees were suddenly dying off from an unknown cause, my only real concern was that I would still have honey for my biscuits, because man do I love my biscuits.  When I was assured that there would be no honey shortage anytime soon, I didn’t [...]

It’s rare that I leave a film speechless. Yet here I am, still in complete awe over a film I saw hours ago, and I’m left with the feeling that I may not have the necessary words to sum it up. “I Am Love,” directed by Luca Guadagnino, is quite frankly a lot to take [...]

I tend to gage a film’s success on its ability to make me feel something- whether it be fear, joy, sadness, or downright uncomfortable, and “Lovers of Hate” definitely succeeded at the latter.

I grew up watching coming of age family films such as “Old Yeller” and the “The Legend of Natty Gann.” It wasn’t until my recent viewing of “Alabama Moon” that I realized that the family films of today have taken a huge departure from the simple, low budget movies that I grew up on. Now [...]

It seems that with each installment of the Twilight Series, Summit wants to go a little bit “bigger” when it comes to directors. With the amount of attention and money that the franchise has made so far, I don’t blame them.   “Twilight” was directed by Catherine Hardwicke, who up until that point was known mostly [...]

Remakes and Sequels and Re-imaginings, Oh my. Yes, I realize that was unnecessary, which is precisely the way that some people may feel about the fact that there are two more “Wizard of Oz” related projects in the works. After the recent success of “Alice in Wonderland,” it seems Hollywood is quickly jumping on the [...]

The baseball movie based on “The Blind Side” author Michael Lewis’ “Moneyball,” has had quite a rough ride so far.  Originally set to be directed by Steven Soderbergh and star Brad Pitt and Demetri Martin, the film was dropped by Colombia Pictures last June due to disagreements over the script, just three days before production [...]

MTV reports that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is now locked in to take over James McAvoy’s role in the untitled “cancer” comedy. McAvoy (Atonement) signed on to the film last August, and has dropped out due to “circumstances outside of everyone’s control.” The film is a based on the writer Will Reiser’s autobiographical account of learning that [...]

All for two, and two for all! That’s right; there are two adaptations of Dumas’ 17th century classic “The Three Musketeers” currently underway. For the first, Lionel Wigram, the producer responsible for the latest “Sherlock Holmes” revamp, is teaming up with “The Men Who Stare at Goats’” writer Peter Straughan. Although no director or cast [...]
