Film Review: TwentyTwelve, Thirteen, Fourteen...



So what's all the buzz about 2012? Well, it's the latest and greatest Roland Emmerich film to hit the talkies! I find it redundant to have to recount the overall plot of the film, but here goes. It's the end of the world, as we know it--and I feel fine. Ah, R.E.M., how I love you, you make my segues so smooth. But, no, really it's an apocalyptic film, like: Independence Day, Godzilla, The Day After Tomorrow, and 10,000 BC.

Film Review:The Men Who Stare At Goats


The Men Who Stare At Goats came out on November 6, 2009 with critics left and right giving it both positive and negative critiques. A star-studded cast spearheaded by Ewan McGregor and George Clooney deliver a surprisingly underwhelming film hastily put together by novice Director, Grant Heslov. The film had redeeming qualities at times, most notably a great comeback performance by Jeff Bridges who harks back on why people love him, because he's The Dude. Clooney is always a treat on screen and has yet to perform poorly in a film, no matter how terrible it is. Ewan McGregor, however, has been going down a perpetual storm of terrible acting gigs (read: Angels & Demons.)
