Movie Review: Electrick Children
While topics like religion and rock and roll crossing paths aren’t that original in Hollywood, I don’t think you’ll ever find one as original as this in “Electrick Children.” Raised in Utah, a Mormon 15-year-old, Rachel, hears rock and roll music for the first time and falls in love with it. A couple of months later she thinks the [...]
Movie Review: The Baytown Outlaws
Don’t let the movie poster fool you, Billy Bob Thornton and Eva Longoria may have the bigger spots but they definitely get outshined by the redneck brother trio known as the Oodies. We’ve got Lincoln, McQueen and Brick. Lincoln is the strong silent type, not by choice though. His voice box was crushed during a wrestling match. Yeah, [...]
Netflix Movie Review: “The Vicious Kind”
We haven't got many screeners in a while but we've felt compelled to do another movie review. There hasn't been a film review since July ninth this year, when we covered "Klown." So we decided to start doing movie reviews on independent films streaming on Netflix. The theater is extremely expensive, why not do a review on a movie that you're [...]
Movie Review: Extraterrestrial
Who ever would have thought a love story mixed in with an alien presence would actually work? Well it does in Extraterrestrial, which is due out in theatres on June 15th. Directed by Nacho Vigalondo, it stars the sexy Michelle Jenner as Julia and Julian Villagran as Julio. The two wake up together after a night of partying in what seems [...]
Movie Review: American Animal
American Animal could easily be called American Animals. Why? Because the film tackles more than one animal America's society has created. I'm talking the American dream, the 9-5, true friendship and just general 'rules' that are deemed socially awkward. It definitely hit home with me. Times I wonder and think to myself, "oh I can't do [...]
Movie Review: The Raid: Redemption
I could easily sum up this movie as the best action movie I've seen in a very long time, but that would just open up a whole new bag of worms. Let's just keep it to this year. What made The Raid: Redemption (trailer above) so awesome? It cut out all the bullshit and left nothing but the good parts. I'm not saying it wasn't short on [...]
Movie Review: Project X
Project X got viral pretty quickly. What’s not to like? The trailer was full of hot sexy women and hormones and people looking to score. While you’ll sorely be let down because the trailer definitely delivered way too much hype, the film still has its moments. Project X is funny but not in the typical comedy sense, aside from a midget [...]
Movie Review: Haywire
Haywire is the offspring of Bourne Identity and Ocean’s Eleven. Only thing is some of the DNA got lost along the way. Haywire boast lots of action without quality acting, witty punch lines without great writing. Gina Carano was a pleasant surprise in this flick. She plays Mallory, a black ops super soldier that is looking for revenge [...]
Movie Review: The Swell Season
The first time I came across Glen Hansard in the film Once, the only thing I thought was man this guy has got a lot of love and pain in his heart. Recently a documentary about Hansard and his band The Swell Season was released. Filmed in black and white it covers The Swell Season on the heels of their success in Once and their ensuing [...]
Movie Review: Terri, Starring John C. Reilly
Terri plays to its main character, a teenager named Terri, a confusing kid struggling with the gripes of teenage years. The film and Terri are both lifeless. On top of being yet just another weird teenager in high school he lives with and takes care of his Uncle James (played by Creed Bratton, yes that Creed from The Office). Terri’s been [...]
