Review: Green Lantern

Posted by: Andrew Burns  •  June 17, 2011 @ 3:05pm

With Marvel out-numbering this summer's superhero flicks 3-to-1, DC Comics is hoping their emerald guardian can take a piece of the action. Unfortunately, Green Lantern joins the comic book-heavy box-office without a necessary ingredient: a script.

Review: Super 8

Posted by: Andrew Burns  •  June 9, 2011 @ 11:08pm

Even in 8mm those bursts of light follow J.J. Abrams from project to project. Don't attempt to wipe or adjust your camera lens because these camera flares are normal for an Abrams flick.

Review: X-Men: First Class

Posted by: Andrew Burns  •  June 8, 2011 @ 12:06am

If there was ever a reason to go to class in the summer time this is it. Though there is no actual school for gifted youngsters (or mutants for that matter) X-Men: First Class is well worth your attendance.

Review: Submarine

Posted by: Diana Prano  •  May 20, 2011 @ 7:31am

Submarine is a dreary, coming-of-age tale of a young bloke in Wales trying to keep his parent's marriage together while getting himself laid for the first time.
