I walked into The Place Beyond the Pines today expecting something great. With an all-star cast including Ryan Gosling, Eva Mendes, and Bradley Cooper, fresh off of his Best Actor nomination, I knew I wouldn’t be disappointed with the movie.
To say I had low expectations when I decided to see ‘Scary Movie 5’ this past weekend is an understatement.
Still looking for that all-star movie to fulfill your action packed, superhero desires this spring? Well, the latest installment of the G.I.
Brazilian director Walter Salles’s screen adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s classic ‘On the Road’ was released in select theaters this past December and has since remained under the pop-culture radar.
For those of you who had the chance to see the absurdly strange movie Rubber on Netflix, here comes another bizarre film from oddball director Quentin Dupieux, Wrong.
As far as film genres go, horror movies are about as polarizing as they come. Many people love subjecting themselves to the suspense and shocks of a scary movie, but others refuse to watch them at all.
Ever since I sat through the uncomfortable experience that was Spring Breakers last weekend, I’ve been contemplating how to present this film.
Around the country, thousands of high school students are receiving their college decisions, so it’s only fitting for a film to be released about the admission process.
Some of the highest grossing movies of all time are animated features.

Ever wonder how that goon of a man became the Great and Powerful “Wizard” of Oz behind the green curtain all the way back in the original 1939 hit musical? Yeah, don’t think you were the only one who didn’t care.
In horror flicks, we’ve all seen the classic 911 call. What we never see is the other end of the line. The Call takes us into one of the largest 911 call centers in Los Angeles and shows the fear that can come from those who are answering these calls.

“Don’t it always seem to go, that you don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone?” Joni Mitchell asked in her 1970 single “Big Yellow Taxi.” Mitchell may have been singing about paving paradise to put up a parking lot, but her message applies just as well to the way in which we, as a society, tend to approach pop culture.
Before the time of Facebook and Twitter, of rip-off 3-D films and BlueRay, of Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift, there were the ’90s.
With romantic comedy after romantic comedy promoting casual relationships, it seems that our films have crept into our real-life relationships and gotten in the way of this little thing called “love.”
If you are looking for a poorly-done college adapted version of The Hangover, then look no further and go buy your ticket for 21 and Over immediately.
While the fantasy genre is alive and kicking, however, many of its offspring are not. Jack the Giant Slayer displays all the trappings of a engaging epic, but none of the fun or charm.
The recent Oscar winning animated short Paperman succeeds in illustrating a delightful tale about two people brought together in the most unusual of ways.
The Paramount Theater chose the perfect lazy Sunday afternoon movie to showcase this past weekend.
