I went it to see Elgin James' Little Birds by accident. The film I was in line for sold out before I got a ticket, and the only other options was this coming of age tale about two adolescent females who want anything other than the life they have been dealt. Little do they know, big city life comes complete with decisions and...

Over the last decade the internet has become our main source for news. With the ability to be instantaneous and mostly free, newspapers have been closing their doors for good. But through it all, the New York Times stood strong, and stuck to its formula, surviving the presence of the web and continuing business as normal - well, sort...

A real life mystery, a dedicated investigator and an unexpected conclusion. For many, Resurrect Dead: The Mystery of the Toynbee Tiles will seem too 'Hollywood' to be true; for those who can enjoy the film for what it is, you will be introduced to the life and journey of a man destined for an answer.
In a nutshell, this film would be nothing...

A film about a robbery inside a movie theater; for a film critic and former movie theater employee, I was in heaven. A little over 124 minutes later, I found myself battling sleep as I wandered around in the midst of hell. Yes, Iria Gomez Concheiro's The Cinema Hold Up is simplistically put, terrible. I'm not sure if I can put...

As an insurance agent, Cedar Rapids peaked my interest when I heard it was playing at the Sundance Film Festival. Did I expect it to be brilliant? No. Was I hoping for some clever insurance jokes that I could use on my future clients? Not so much. Did I walk away with a few laughs and countless quotable lines? ...

There isn't much that can be said about Jose Padilha's Elite Squad 2. A sequel to the 2003 original, the film is your typical beat 'em up, shoot 'em up affair; nothing more, nothing less. Oh, there is also a corrupt government involved, go figure.
Now that I got all that out of the way I will admit that Elite Squad 2 is actually quite...

Back in July, I read an
advertisement on YouTube asking for everyone to videotape something on July
24th and post it back online. Now that the film has finally been completed, I
was more than excited to see the results. It turns out that Life In A Day is nothing special whatsoever. I’d even go as far to call it a failed
project.
Life In A Day was...

Margin Call has an
unusually complex story line, yet, it’s able to capture a Wall Street feel,
while creating a thrilling and even comical film.
The film centers on a large company that deals with the selling
and trading of assets. With the help of a former employee, one worker discovers
that the company is falling deeply in debt due to a faulty...

Most of us have heard all kinds of information concerning the
media’s involvement in the development of females. This news isn’t new, but it
is nonetheless very real. Miss
Representation informs and enlightens its audience about the subjection of
women and what we can do to stop it.
There are several kinds of media that young females plug in to,...

Red State is what it is. There’s nothing that makes it
terrible, but worse there is nothing that makes it remarkable either. The film
plays out as well as can be expected, and it can’t be faulted for that.
The films focus is three boys who
travel to a woman’s house soliciting sex. After being drugged, they awaken in
Five Points Church, home of...
