Film Review: Safe House
Denzel Washington plays the CIA’s most dangerous traitor, Tobin Frost, who stuns the intelligence community when he surfaces in South Africa. When the safe house to which he’s remanded is attacked by brutal mercenaries, a rookie (Ryan Reynolds) is forced to help him escape. I honestly was wondering just what made this by-the-books thriller good...

The Dark Knight Rises: First 7 Minutes of the Movie + Official Poster
And so it begins… to end. Christopher Nolan has promised that The Dark Knight Rises will be the final Batman film he makes and effectively the end of his version of the story. And to further convey those sentiments, the teaser poster has been released, with the tagline “The Legend Ends” and a crushed bat mask...

Film Review: In Time
I imagine a light bulb literally appeared and went off over writer/director Andrew Niccol’s head when he realized that he could use time as a one to one metaphor for money. I’m sure that at the time, the possibilities seemed endless. In Time, Andrew Niccol’s’ new sci-fi thriller stars Justin Timberlake as Will Salas, a...
Tech Corner: Movie Night Out App Review
This is a segment that focuses on how people can get the most use out of their devices. In this case it will be an in-depth review of an app that caught my eye concerning the arts. To kick-start this review column I picked an interesting app called Movie Night Out. Of course you would...
Film Review: Moneyball
Moneyball makes a compelling story out of a not so compelling subject. In the film, based on the book by the same name that’s also a true story, Brad Pitt plays Billy Beane, the General Manager of the 2002 Oakland A’s. They’ve just lost their three biggest stars to the deep pockets of the Yankees,...
Film Review: Warrior
Sometimes, brothers just have to fight it out. That about sums up the compelling, if improbable sports drama, Warrior, a film about two brothers who share a seriously troubled past and end up chasing after the same goal, a UFC Championship and the 5 million dollars that come with it. Tom Hardy stars as Tommy...
Film Review: Contagion
Stephen Soderbergh’s latest film is a very eye opening look into what a real outbreak might be like. The scariest part is, apparently, us. Contagion chronicles various events surrounding an international viral outbreak and the attempts to contain, control and cure it. The movie is put together as a series of interconnected stories told simultaneously,...
How Technology Ruined Romantic Movies (Video)
Romance has been a staple in movies for quite a long time. In fact, no matter what, love is in practically every movie we see in some form. But romantic movies takes it to the next level. The gushing moments of true affection. The tear jerking effect of someones dying wish to reconnect with their...
Fan Made "Portal" Movie Makes You Rethink Games/Movie Adaptations
Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, Super Mario Bros. (that one made me throw up a little just typing it). All of these games have something in common. Yes, they all had a movie adaptation. But what I’m referring to is that they all were bad. For the most part Tomb Raider did the best. And I’m...
Film Review: Colombiana
Zoe Saldana is absolutely beautiful. And this film knows it. Olivier Megaton, the director, shoots Saldana from numerous angles in so many different poses and lighting setups and at various stages of disrobing, that it seems like there is nothing we don’t know about her body. In one scene, she sits in a see-through shirt...
