Movie Review: The Other Guys
By Megan Carroll The Other Guys is a silly buddy-cop-action-comedy that makes you feel like you are riding in the car with someone who just learned how to drive a stick shift: the movie never really achieves a smooth ride. With the help of narrator Ice-T, we are introduced to two mismatched New York City detectives,... »
The girl who played with fire
By Megan Carroll Movies in the middle of a series are like middle children. The first one is amazing and new and gets lots of attention, and the last one, the baby, is often a memorable summation and celebration. The Girl Who Played with Fire is the neglected and not-so-interesting middle child of Stieg Larsson’s... »
Inception
By Megan Carroll Christopher Nolan’s Inception is captivating, confusing and fascinating; and it keeps audiences talking for days afterwards. Viewers are immediately thrown into this film and the pace does not stop. Cobb (Leonardo Di Caprio) is by his own admission the world’s most skilled extractor: a person who can steal ideas and secrets from... »
Mosley, Hudson make national tour stops on Folly
Folly Beach attracts interesting characters from all corners of the world: authors, actors, artists, musicians, poets, athletes, politicians, diplomats, vagabonds and everything in between. This month, two highly-regarded singer-songwriters will make their first trips to the island – Cary Hudson of Blue Mountain and Bret Mosley. “I played the Lowcountry for the first time in... »
Despicable Me

Characters that were once good for a thin plot and a good helping of slapstick have become more substantial and... »

Aunt Vee’s Italian Ice
by Lauren Dean For the past two summers Buzz Perri has been manning his Italian Ice cart from a spot on the sidewalk next to Mr. John’s Beach Store. He opens for business about 11:00 a.m. and closes “when everybody goes home.” Then he gets up the next day and does it all over again.... »
Oh, Please Give this film a hand!
by Megan Carroll Nicole Holofcener’s independent film entitled Please Give tip-toed recently onto the screens, it should conclude to rounding applause. Kate and Alex (Catherine Keener and Oliver Platt) are a couple living in New York. They own a successful business specializing in vintage furniture. Kate becomes consumed with guilt as she buys furniture from... »
Movie Review:Get Him To Greek
By Megan Carroll Like the main characters in Get Him to the Greek, this film is a bit sloppy and all over the place. But, based on what’s out there right now and has been out there in the comedy genre, this is one of the top ones so far! I’m still trying to figure... »
Meet James Justin Burke
By Vince Perna Meet James Justin Burke, a local Folly Beach musician and songwriter. I sat down recently for an interview with this burgeoning star and found that, while he appears to be a confident young man sure of his craft, deep down the kid inside him remains giddy with excitement and anticipation. It is... »
