Review: ‘Riddick’
‘Riddick’ is surprisingly good!
Review: ‘Afternoon Delight’ Starring Kathryn Hahn, Josh Radnor and Juno Temple
Skip this ‘Afternoon Delight’
Review: ‘The World’s End’
Not only is The Worlds End an absolutely hilarious movie, but its also got something ninety-percent of comedies (heck, most movies) don’t bother to include: characters you care about.
Review: ‘The Wedding Singer’ at the Secret Theatre (NYC)
If you’d like to see an animated production of one of the better musicals from last decade, I’d recommend getting your tickets to The Wedding Singer soon.
Review: ‘Prince Avalanche’
As of this writing, ‘Prince Avalanche’ is in my ‘Top 5 Favorite Films’ of the year
Book Review: ‘The Best American Short Plays 2011-2012’
All of the plays are very quick reads – they’re short plays, duh! – and most are pretty darn good.
Review: ‘Pacific Rim’
Pacific Rim is the movie of the summer. It’ll turn you into a kid again, smiling from ear to ear as you leave the theater.
Review: ‘Man of Steel’
When ‘Seasons’ by Chris Cornell plays over a scene in the beginning of Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel, you know that we’re in the era of a new Superman.
Review: ‘This Is The End’
Finally, we have a movie that’s worthy of being called, “The Funniest Movie of the Year!”
Review: ‘Hamlet’ / ‘Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead’ at the Sargent Theater (NYC)
Brandon Walker’s forte is emotionally conflicted, mentally troubled characters, and if that doesn’t describe Hamlet’s character I don’t know what does.
Review: ‘Billy Elliott’: ‘He Could Be a Star’
Billy Elliot the Musical, currently playing in San Diego, features two wonderful performances from Rich Hebert and Mitchell Tobin.
Review: ‘The Thirteenth Commandment’ at the Bridge Theatre (NYC)
Without mentioning them all individually I have nothing but praise for each actor in the play because this is very much a group effort — each part is significant.
Review: ‘Graceland’
I sincerely hope Hollywood doesn’t get a hold of this for a remake. Everything that makes Graceland special would be scrapped clean into something totally generic… and this is not all generic.
Review: ‘The Place Beyond The Pines’
The film is frustrating towards the end, yes, but as always, performances win out
SXSW Review: ‘Mud’ starring Matthew McConaughey
McConaughey’s hot streak continues with the absolutely wonderful, Mud
SXSW Review: ‘Drinking Buddies’
If I had a drinking buddy as attractive, smart and cool as the character she plays in Joe Swanberg’s new film, Drinking Buddies, I’d be slamming a few back with her right now.
SXSW Review: ‘Euphonia’
The teens in the film (which also include Maria DeCortis and Benjamin Papacare) are true teenagers, – all zits and gangly – and their performances were real and authentic, especially from Will Madden.
