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... »
Despicable Me
By Megan Carroll If you haven’t been to an animated film in a while, well, let’s just say things have changed. Today’s animation is a far cry from Porky Pig, Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny. Characters that were once good for a thin plot and a good helping of slapstick have become more substantial and... »
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... »
Prince of Persia is right down the middle of the road
By Megan Carroll Like others before it, Prince of Persia is another forgettable video game adapted for the big screen, but there is one real difference with this one: it has legs. I can see a bright future for this Persian comedic adventure. It will make money and has “sequel ability.” Like the game of... »
Letters to Juliet
Letters to Juliet By Megan Carroll Letters to Juliet was as painful for the audience as Romeo’s realization that Juliet was lying cold and dead beside him. The film immediately makes it evident that it is going to bring nothing new to the romantic drama table. Enter our main character, Sophie (Amanda Seyfried), a fact checker for... »
Hot Tub Time Machine — a hot film
With a title like Hot Tub Time Machine, you would think the film would be as shallow as a kiddie pool, but think again. This “best buddy” comedy is actually a hilarious must-see film. When their buddy Lou (Rob Corddry–who is absolutely brilliant) winds up in the hospital after an apparent suicide attempt, friends Adam... »
The Ghost Writer
By Megan Carroll Steadily creeping suspense, anxiety and tension almost suffocate Roman Polanski’s audience in his new film Ghost Writer. I loved every gasping moment of this film, which is based on Robert Harris’ novel The Ghost. Harris co-wrote the movie screenplay with director Roman Polanski and did a superb job of taking the... »
