DATE NIGHT/DINNER FOR SCHMUCKS TRAILER

By |2011-09-02T23:24:36-04:00April 16th, 2010|Comedy, Movies, Trailers|0 Comments

Here's a trailer of Concord MA. native Steve Carell's new movie with Paul Rudd due out this summer--a remake of a dark French farce called LE DINER DE CONS (THE DINNER GAME) which I loved. But first DATE NIGHT--Which I did not. It's the #1 movie at the box office and in it we witness [...]

THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO

By |2011-09-03T00:54:27-04:00March 29th, 2010|Drama, Movies, Thriller|0 Comments

It's a trashy page turner that lingers too long on the sexual torture of women, a Miss Marple-like list of suspects, and an ending that's on the visible horizon from page one. I was among the few who disliked the late Stieg Larsson's international bestselling thriller. Then I saw the movie. In Swedish. The film [...]

MOVIE REVIEW: ALICE IN WONDERLAND

By |2011-09-02T23:25:57-04:00March 10th, 2010|Family, Fantasy, Movies|0 Comments

I was with Alice from the minute she fell down that hole--and Tim Burton really took me there. ALICE IN WONDERLAND is a girl's journey. Unlike AVATAR in which the hero layers on a second, perfected self and thrusts himself into a new world doing battle in outer space, Alice falls inward in search of [...]

MOVIE REVIEW: A SINGLE MAN

By |2011-09-02T23:27:12-04:00February 26th, 2010|Drama, Movies|0 Comments

He won't win the OSCAR, but he must be seen: Colin Firth in A SINGLE MAN. Great flick starring the chicly buttoned up English actor as gay lit professor George Falconer; with his Yeatsian last name he stands on the brink of a cultural riptide, L.A. circa 1962. The film is adapted from the Christopher [...]

MOVIE REVIEW: SHUTTER ISLAND

By |2011-09-02T23:28:27-04:00February 19th, 2010|Drama, Horror, Movies|0 Comments

It opens tomorrow, but we saw it tonight: SHUTTER ISLAND will make you shudder. And think. And keep you guessing. And maybe bore you a little bit too--somewhere 2/3rd of the way through I found my attention going slack, but mostly it's pretty engaging, and this was agreed upon by me, Marji, my daughter and [...]

Bloody Fun/MOVIE REVIEW: CRAZY HEART

By |2011-09-02T23:29:59-04:00January 13th, 2010|Drama, Movies, Musicals|0 Comments

The late night wars are getting bloodier--and Letterman (thrilled not to be in the middle of it for once) has jumped into the act just as Conan has threatened to jump ship. I'd like to see NBC go down in flames. HOW could they promise Conan five years ago that he could take over the [...]

MOVIE REVIEW/SHERLOCK HOLMES

By |2011-09-02T23:31:17-04:00January 8th, 2010|Action & Adventure, Comedy, Drama, Movies|0 Comments

After seeing the trailer, I thought the latest take on SHERLOCK HOLMES looked like a blown up bunch of baloney, and after seeing it, I know it's a blown up bunch up baloney, but this is how I like my baloney; bursting at the seams and busting its case-ing wide open! Guy Ritchie (Madonna's ex) [...]

Movie: NINE

By |2011-09-02T23:32:54-04:00December 31st, 2009|Drama, Movies, Musicals, Romance|0 Comments

I've been hearing that folks don't like NINE, and that they are pulling it from theatres because of tepid reviews, and weak box office. I am probably among the few who actually liked this film despite its flaws. The cast is an extraordinary one, and has been used in ways that appeal to me. Who [...]

Movie reviews: AVATAR/CORALINE(even better)

By |2014-11-14T23:52:50-05:00December 29th, 2009|Action & Adventure, Animation, Drama, Family, Fantasy, Kids, Movies|0 Comments

Am having a movie orgy on vacation and just saw one that blows AVATAR out of the water-- CORALINE. If CORALINE was only half as brilliant as it is, it would still be 100 times more brilliant than AVATAR. I saw AVATAR a few weeks ago at a critics screening, and while I was initially [...]
