Weekend Box Office
From Paris With Love Theatrical Review
(Nathan M Rose) 2/8/2010 8:46 AM EST It is that time of year again when the studios drop all of their films that they feel will not make it during the competitive box office seasons of spring, summer or fall. However, once in a while a film comes along that catches everyone off guard and provides the movie-going experience that patrons expect, such is the case with&nbs... |

(Nathan M Rose) 2/4/2010 10:15 PM EST Created by John Wells (ER, The West Wing, Third Watch), Christopher Chulack (ER, Third Watch) and Ann Biderman (Public Enemies, Hill Street Blues), Southland:The Complete First Season follows the complicated lives of the dedicated LAPD officers and detectives' lead as they take on criminals, victims and a city tainted by vice, and seething with... |

Surrogates Blu-ray Review
(Marco Chacon) 1/30/2010 8:45 PM EST When I saw the trailer for Surrogates in the theater, I became interested. It was a Bruce Willis sci-fi where people could wear artificial bodies that were their avatars throughout the day. I wondered if it was thoughtful or just an action vehicle. With Bruce Willis leading, I figured it would be okay because I liked I-Robot eve... |

Fame Blu-ray Review
(Marco Chacon) 1/26/2010 9:10 PM EST Considering that Frame was just re-made, this is a timely point for a Blu-Ray release of the 1980 hit musical because it is now an oldie classic. Viewers who think they vaguely remember it will probably recall the spin-off TV show and the remake was certainly lighter-weight than the original. The story centers on seven potential... |
Pandorum Blu-ray Review
(Marco Chacon) 1/21/2010 9:26 PM EST Alien, now three decades old, still sets the standard for sci-fi horror. We can see that in Pandorum 's opening scenes when Dennis Quaid "slooowly" comes out of hyper-sleep. As with Alien, to which Pandorum owes more than a little, the crew member has awakened to find everything on their ship was not-quite-right! In... |

Glee DVD Review
(Marco Duran) 1/19/2010 7:46 PM EST When Glee first came on earlier this year it was preceded with one of the biggest marketing pushes for a TV show I'd ever seen. There were posters everywhere, commercials every ten minutes and a pilot that aired months before the show even premiered. The buzz around this show was astounding. And it worked. I was hooked in fo... |

Magnolia Blu-ray Review
(Marco Chacon) 1/19/2010 11:08 AM EST Paul Thomas Anderson's epic, Magnolia features an ensemble cast (Tom Cruise, William H. Macy, Julianne Moore, and others) who share interlocking lives in a Byzantine plot. Magnolia takes 188 minutes to be delivered, and ends in a wholly unexplained rain of frogs which interferes in the lives and deaths of some characters. It also comes just bef... |

Book of Eli Theatrical Review
(Marco Chacon) 1/17/2010 7:35 PM EST I read The Road and determined from the reviews that the reasonably well made, fairly faithful movie version was simply not at the top of my to-do list. I think it was Slate's headline: 'Prepare to be bludgeoned' that made me go feel that way. When I saw part of the trailer for The Book of Eli that included a sudden Zatiochi-style blade... |

Fringe Blu-ray Review
(Marco Chacon) 1/15/2010 8:55 PM EST Fringe seems to be JJ Abram's answer to The X-Files . The lessons from the X-Files were: (a) if you have FBI agents with chemistry, you have the basis for a science fiction show, and (b) if you have no idea where you are going and string the audience along, your audience will grow to hate you! Fringe gives us a division in the FBI ... |

10 Things I Hate About You Blu-ray Review
(Nathan M Rose) 1/11/2010 8:12 PM EST In 1999, a quirky little comedy based on Shakespeare's, Taming of The Shrew, entitled 10 Things I Hate About You, hit the theaters. At that time, a very unknown Heath Ledger started along side Julia Stiles in this comedic romance. It was about Padua High sophomore, Bianca Stratford (Larisa Oleynik), who has two invitations to the prom and one big p... |
