The Dark Knight Rises

July 19, 2012 Jacob Aquino Movie Reviews 0

I’ll likely remain in the minority here, so let’s just get it out in the open first thing: I thought The Dark Knight Rises was a better overall film than its predecessor The Dark Knight. That’s not a diss to the second film; I thought it was good, just not the return of the cinematic messiah. That said, Rises is not perfect either, but I was able to dig it more and appreciated the thematic callback to Batman Begins. This third chapter is a bit jumbled at times but for all intents and purposes definitely closes out Nolan’s trilogy.

The (Not So) Amazing Spider-Man

July 3, 2012 Jacob Aquino Movie Reviews 0

The fanboy engines sure have been revving for exaltation since the ultra awful Spider Man 3 hit theatres in 2007. There were so many problems that simply could not be forgiven, a fault of studio interference more so than the personal failings of Sam Raimi, whose trilogy always felt heavily flawed to me, despite good intentions. Now five years later the reboot task is up to relative newbie Marc Webb, whose lone previous film credit is the indie romantic 500 Days of Summer. Now I have not seen that, but by all accounts it is supposed to be quite good. Perhaps not surprisingly, the best things about this latest Spider-Man are indeed the more intimate character moments between Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy. That said, I’ll try not to let my own experiences with the characters (I dabbled in the comics, action figures and awesome ‘90s cartoon) taint my review, and keep any comparisons strictly to the other films.

They’ve Got the Magic Flick

June 29, 2012 Dean Rogers Movie Reviews, Movies

Girrrllll…

I seriously considered that being my entire review, because that accurately sums up my reaction to this beautiful example of cinematic genius. There may be a legal battle brewing between Channing Tatum and his former stripper buddies over the idea, but I do not care whose idea it was. All that matters is that this idea was executed. A strip club experience without the cover charge, expensive drinks, or some stranger’s genitals being anywhere near your face? Yes, please!

Seeking (and Finding) a Film for the End of the Week

June 22, 2012 Stephanie Taylor Movie Reviews, Movies

We’ve seen dramatic and extreme post-apocalyptic thrillers almost as many times as we’ve survived the Rapture, and it is hard to imagine that anyone can interpret the theme in a way that would make a movie more enjoyable. However, none of the previous films starred Steve Carrell or stayed completely in the pre-apocalyptic world. As it turns out, these two facts make a huge difference.

Don’t Stop Believin’ in the Rock of Ages

June 15, 2012 Dean Rogers Movie Reviews, Movies

Adam Shankman is back in the center seat taking on another Broadway show turned movie. This time, we are heading to the decade of big hair, LP Records and Power Ballads. Yes, the 2009 musical tribute, nominated for five Tonys and currently playing on Broadway is getting the big screen tribute. Will this rose have its thorn or hit us with its best shot? Here’s my rad review of Rock of Ages.

Madagascar 3 Soars High Above Expectations

June 10, 2012 Stephanie Taylor Movie Reviews, Movies

Finally! We have a movie in 2012 that is worth every minute and every penny. If your kids (or you, for that matter) cannot stop singing “Circus! Afro!” then go ahead and see Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted in 3D. It is the most clever, fun, and exciting animated film to hit theaters in a long time.

A Spectacular 3-Ring Afro Circus

June 8, 2012 Dean Rogers Movie Reviews, Movies

Have you ever had a song or jingle stuck in your head for a long time? That’s what happened to me when I first heard the now infamous Afro Circus line on television. Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted delivers the fun and excitement for the whole family this weekend! The third chapter in the Madagascar takes the Central Zoo Fab Four on a new journey they will never forget.

Alex (Ben Stiller), Marty (Chris Rock), Gloria (Jada Pinkett Smith) and Melman (David Schwimmer) are stuck Read more

Snow White and the Seven Reasons to Skip It

June 1, 2012 Stephanie Taylor Movie Reviews 0

You’ve seen the commercials and the trailers with the dazzling special effects, sinister stares, and frenzied fighting. Snow White and the Huntsman looks like a masterpiece from the outside, but looking carefully into the mirror on the wall reveals that there is more to this movie and it is not pretty. My scrutiny actually resulted in 7 reasons for you not to bother with this year’s second twist on the classic fairy tale (see my review of Mirror Mirror). I’ll spare you the synopsis.
