I was so angry with Steven Spielberg after I saw this movie. It had a perfectly good premise. A gorgeous horse named Joey and the poor English farm boy (Jeremy Irvine who looks like a young Tom Brady) who tamed and loved him, has to relinquish his pet to the brutality of World War I. [...]
Couldn't wait to see TOWER HEIST. How much you like it will depend on how much you can't wait to see Eddie Murphy back on the big screen, and how much disbelief you are willing to suspend. My suspenders snapped. Eddie almost saved me. TOWER HEIST is built on a premise ripe for the times. [...]
I just became a contributor to EXHALE magazine and here's my first article all about the Fall Movie Season beginning with 50/50! (Ironically I am also a 3X cancer survivor, and am the subject of a separate feature story in the same issue of EXHALE about that experience.) Now that the car crashes of summer [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBiOF3y1W0Y DRIVE just about drove me crazy. I was so driven to distraction after seeing it-- I nearly drove off the road. This is one of the best films I've experienced all year, an existential action thriller--To Drive, is To Be-- and it should drive its leading man Ryan Gosling straight to the Oscars. The movie took [...]
I saw it 4 nights ago, and as I emerged from the theater I heard a sniffling 17 year old girl in Potter garb exclaim through her tears, "My childhood is over and nobody cares." That sums up the fantastically successful Harry Potter series for a generation of fans who came of age along with [...]
If I had a hammer, I'd hammer out a better script. This less than marvelous Marvel comic take on the Norse god of thunder, actually put me to sleep--somewhere between a dull piece of exposition and a lackluster bit of action. This is yet another (yawn) superhero romp through the cinematic cosmos and director Kenneth [...]
Back from the beach and into SALT starring Angelina Jolie as a secret agent or two or three-- who is she, Evelyn Salt? I really didn't care. All I cared about was seeing her in different clothes and wigs and eyecolors and hats--like my own giant cinematic Barbie. In big luscious close up. Those lips. [...]
"THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE" TRAILER It's beyond an eclipse. It's a black out of intergalactic proportions. No one really expected this movie about Edward (Robert Pattinson) the vampire and Jacob(Taylor Lautner) the werewolf fighting over Bella (Kristen Stewart) the reluctant Swan to be great art. But I didn't expect it to put me into a [...]
KNIGHT AND DAY is such a kick--from the first accidentally on purpose meeting of Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz: he never looked better; she was never more charming. They have instant chemistry and apparently extremely supple limbs given the amount of tumbling around they're about to do. He's not who he says he is, she's [...]
