MOVIE REVIEW: STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS

Loved this--and  I am not a Trekker, have never been on a spacecraft, or had an out of body experience (OK maybe once) but I love an exciting cinematic romp through outer space, and after seeing STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS I left the theater feeling like my car was the Starship Enterprise (and if you [...]

MOVIE REVIEW: THE GREAT GATSBY

By |2013-10-22T11:24:40-04:00May 21st, 2013|Drama, Movies|0 Comments

It's great-- once it stops. The first frantic 45 minutes of filmmaker Baz ("Moulin Rouge") Luhrman's  eye-popping, screen swollen, 3D, musical mashup of F. Scott Fitzgerald's mythic novel brought me to the brink of motion sickness. Then it settled down, and the dramatic interplay of these iconic characters, against the deeper backdrop of the American [...]

MOVIE REVIEW: IRON MAN 3

The cheap thrills of summer begin with the noisy, hyperactive and superficially entertaining third installment of IRON MAN 3—which pits Robert Downey Junior’s brash industrialist Tony Stark as the man in the can against a maniac called "The Mandarin."  The third time's not the charm-- but in the words of one of my colleagues-- it [...]

MOVIE REVIEW: OBLIVION

By |2013-04-29T01:21:59-04:00April 29th, 2013|Movies, Science Fiction|0 Comments

The latest Tom Cruise film OBLIVION in which the superstar once again saves the world is a muted, muddled sci-fi fandango that finds Tom tangling with his identity. There are those who think the now eerily youthful looking Cruise seems more plastic than ever. No matter how many times I've see him on a talk [...]

MOVIE REVIEW: “42”

It's the only number to be retired by all of baseball and belonged to the tough, multi-talented athlete Jackie Robinson who rose out of poverty in rural Georgia to break baseball's color barrier when he signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. Written and directed by Brian Helgeland (L.A. Confidential, Mystic River), "42" is a  [...]
