Doom, the latest video game turned into a movie, presents us with a cinematic first. In the film a character dies and then gets a free life. It’s during the much vaunted “first person shooter” scene – our hero is overtaken by an enemy and knocked down. In a… Continue reading
BUY IT AT AMAZON: CLICK HERE!AUTHOR: Frank BeddorPUBLISHER: EgmontMSRP: N/A for AmericaPAGES: 376 For many writers, there's an undeniable lure in remaking an existing property. Hollywood falls to the temptation far more often than it should. Writers of… Continue reading
Cameron Crowe’s new movie, Elizabethtown, is like the shambolic southern rock that fills its soundtrack. Like Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Free Bird (now used twice to great effect this year), the film is too long, peaks too early and is really sort of all over the… Continue reading
Sometimes a movie speaks to me so truthfully and so personally that I can’t figure out if it’s a great film or just one that greatly resonates with me. After thinking about it a lot (and I mean a lot), I’ve come to the conclusion that The Squid and the Whale… Continue reading

Mirrormask looks really great. It looks like Dave McKean paintings come to three dimensional life, which makes sense, as he directed the film and designed the look of it. If you’re interested in seeing a movie after smoking an inordinate amount of pot, here… Continue reading
Some films are nothing more than showcases for great performances. In many ways, that’s exactly what Capote is – I don’t know if it could work with someone other than Philip Seymour Hoffman in the title role. At times incredibly fascinating and at others… Continue reading
This review contains fairly large spoilers. Check out Nick's spoiler-free review here. There are going to be those who will say that my long held belief that Joss Whedon’s Serenity will not do that well at the box is coloring my review of that film. All I can… Continue reading
