MOVIE REVIEW: Side effects bring down Love and Other Drugs

By admin

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... »

Movie Review: Paranormal Activity 2

By admin

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... »

Movie review: Devil

By admin

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... »

Movie Review: Easy A Minus

By admin

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... »

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... »

Movie Review: The Other Guys

By admin

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... »

Movie Review:Get Him To Greek

By admin

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... »

The Ghost Writer

By admin

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... »

The Lovely Bones

By admin

By Megan Carroll Remember your grandmother’s or mother’s patchwork quilt? All those random pieces would come together to create a beautiful visual pattern. Peter Jackson’s The Lovely Bones looks like one of those quilts, but feels more like an awkward patchwork. Based on the beloved novel by Alice Sebold, we take a journey through... »
