2011 Summer Movie Guide: What’s Hot and What’s Not This Summer
By Megan Caroll Wouldn’t it be nice to begin a summer movie recap overwhelmed, in the midst of the best movie summer ever? I’d love to say that this year is at least better than last, but unfortunately, not much has changed. Nevertheless, there is some interesting fare in those cool, dark theaters. Just like... »
The Green Lantern Gave Me the Blues
By Megan Carroll As usual, I find myself at my local haunt, Cinebarre, munching on some tasty noms. when about five minutes into The Green Lantern, I realize that the only thing green that’s going to be good tonight is my Sgt. Peppers (stuffed jalapenos, yummy). I am 100% positive that no one cared enough... »
Movie Review: Insidious
By Megan Carroll Finally, I can sleep without having the lights on in my bedroom! Thank God, I was thinking that might never happen again after seeing James Wan’s film, Insidious. Not since Poltergeist, the Exorcist or Stephen King’s It have I been so frightened after watching a film. Insidious is an old-fashioned ghost story that... »
MOVIE REVIEW: Unknown
By Megan Carroll Once again, Liam Neeson is kicking ass and taking names in Unknown. Neeson’s strong-willed, seemingly honorable character goes up against unknown forces who are threatening him and a loved one. Wow, I feel like I could be writing a review for his 2008 film, Taken. Modify the plot a bit, sprinkle in... »
MOVIE REVIEW: Side effects bring down Love and Other Drugs
by Megan Carroll Just like the little blue pill that Love and Other Drugs revolves around, this movie has some disturbing side affects. This could have been an extremely interesting film about exposing the intense competition between pharmaceutical companies; it could have been a consummate love story, but it couldn’t be both so you walk... »
Movie Review: Paranormal Activity 2
By Megan Carroll The prequel to Oren Peli’s Paranormal Activity once again proves that less is more. Director Tod Williams hits this spot on: Paranormal Activity 2 is a heart-pounding good time! In a Hollywood era of in-your-face blood and gore, Williams allows the audience’s imagination to take the driver’s seat and prepares you for an... »
It’s Kind of a Funny Story, really isn’t
By Megan Carroll It’s Kind of a Funny Story, directed by Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden, created some sort of fantasy mental ward that, just likes its patients, has no real connection to actual reality. We meet Craig (Keir Gilchrist), a bright 16-year-old student who oozes torment and obsession. Dealing with a competitive school life, pressure... »
Movie review: Devil
By Megan Carroll People seem to love to hate M. Night Shyamalan and his work, but don’t let this deter you from seeing Devil. You’ll be glad you did. Working along side screenwriter Brian Nelson (30 Days of Night) and director John Erick Dowdle (Quarantine), M. Night brings to life an exceptional piece of storytelling. In... »
Movie Review: Easy A Minus
By Megan Carroll The only things that deserves an “Easy A” in this film are Emma Stone, Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson’s performances in this quirky teen comedy. Easy A is reminiscent of films like Say Anything, Can’t Buy Me Love or any John Hughes film ever made. The unfortunate thing is Easy A totally... »
Get Low
By Megan Carroll Get Low brings together Robert Duvall, Sissy Spacek and Bill Murray, and the fact that these three heavy-hitting actors are present means the odds are in favor of an excellent movie experience. No one will be disappointed. On top of a phenomenal cast, you have a slow creeping story that definitely keeps your... »
