The Sherlock Holmes Movie Poster

What is it about the whole ‘fallen hero’ archetype that so appeals to the American masses? We love to see Batman suffer internally as he protects Gotham, and watch as an aged Indiana Jones stumbles around on a screen, and gawk as Captain Kirk gets his ass kicked in a bar brawl. Gone are ...

There are very few movies that could take an issue like the reversion therapy programs that aim to turn gay people straight by brainwashing them and forcing what is essentially celibacy and guilt onto them, and make it fabulous. Somehow, director Jamie Babbit finds a way in But I’m a Cheerleader.

The movie is about Megan, played by Natasha ...

Recently I took a trip, a trip to Gateway Theater. This scene may seem common enough, as people go to the movies all the time. But this trip was far from common; this trip was uncommon. I was attending the motion picture event of the decade. My voyage to New Moon will go down in history as one ...

Before I begin this review, one must keep in mind the bad track record of films based on video games. Very few make the transition. However, Max Payne is different. As a fan of the series, one of its standout features is its cinematic presentation. If any game deserves to be made into a movie, it would ...

Think of me as a soothsayer, an auger, some sort of forecaster of upcoming cinema. This is to be a vaticination of film, a weekly wrap up of movies before they premier. Each week I’ll try my best to read my tea leaves and see clearly into my crystal ball so that I can accurately tell you which ...
