Movie Review: ‘Rambo’ is Ugly and Sad
Movie Review By Loukas Tsouknidas on January 22, 2008 | Comments (98)Though set around the turn of the 20th Century, There Will Be Blood is, in its pitting of capitalism against revivalism, conspicuously more about the state of the union at the turn of the 21st.
The human mind has the capability of creating terrifying things. It is a well understood fact that imagination is much more powerful than…

Movie Review: Cloverfield
Movie Review By Brian C. Gibson on January 16, 2008 | Be the First To CommentHow could you not possibly love the fact that J.J. Abrams wanted to make America’s very own monster movie?
Margot at the Wedding may be light on plot but it is a truthful character study, and because of this, the film is irresistibly winning.
If Starting Out in the Evening were much shorter, it would be more easily forgivable.
The Bucket List is a classic example of how a film can take a fine premise, and not only not live up to its full potential, but sink into the pits of mediocrity.
For those who don’t know anything about the Veggie Tales, this is a computer-generated kids show with Christian overtones. However, unlike many Christian videos, it’s not as heavy-handed on the religious themes.

The filmmakers seem to be trying to leave it up to us whether the film is meant to be taken symbolically or not, but if we were to take it that way it wouldn’t make any sense.
The title sets up some expectations of what is to come. That being said, there is blood, but there’s also much, much more.
Director Todd Haynes certainly has a vision with his new film I’m Not There but that vision doesn’t translate well onto the screen.
The Bucket List is a wonderful film, though it would fit pretty well in the tearjerker category, even more for men than women.
