At the movies: Total Recall '12.

So, for some reason Hollywood is determined to remake all of Paul Verhoeven's SciFi classics. The first effort in this multimillion dollar recycling campaign is Total Recall, recently unleashed to theatres with a tad of fanfare. And yes, given recent events in the world, it's absolutely important that a film gets into why time and time again, unsettled minds feel the need to have to define their own reality through horrifying acts of violence... oh wait, this isn't that movie at all. If anything, its PG-13 sanitized massacres are creepier and much more offensive than the original's Swiftian bloodlettings.

At the movies: Beasts of the Southern Wild.

So I got to take part in a point/counterpoint-style review-off in the Scene this week. Much respect to Michael Sicinski, whose review of the Dark Knight Rises in Cinema Scope magazine was one of the best on the film that I've read. Let me know your thoughts...

At the movies: Ted.

So, for everyone who was wondering if Seth MacFarlane could bring it after unleashing Family Guy, American Dad, and The Cleveland Show on the world, the answer is defiantly, yes.

At the movies: Savages.

Ah. Welcome back, insane Oliver...

I love Oliver Stone's more bonkers films, and this is certainly that. A feast of sex, violence, drugs, double-crossing, thrills, gore, mayhem, incisive performative critique, and Travoltarama! Check it out...

At the movies: Sound of my Voice.

Absolutely worth your time. Don't miss this one...

At the movies: Prometheus.

In theory, I've been waiting for this film since 1987.

At the movies: The Avengers.

Perhaps you heard of a little film opening this weekend about some super heroes who band together to fight off an unspeakable menace. Here's my two cents on the whole thing.
