Movie Review: Che - Part One, The Argentine

Bags — Fri, 9 Jan 2009 11:36:39 EST

Part one of Steven Soderbergh's impressionistic four-hour take on a revolutionary life.
Steven Soderbergh occupies a unique and rather contradictory position in the filmmaking world. On the one hand, he continues to turn out those glossy, big-budget, no-brainer Oceans films every three or four years, to quite staggering box office returns. Ocean's Thirteen (2007), for example, grossed $300 million-plus from an $80 million budget....

Movie Review: Marley & Me

Chris Beaumont — Fri, 9 Jan 2009 08:15:56 EST

Dogs can be destructive beings, but they know how to love unconditionally.
Sometime around the middle of 2008 my sister brought my mother a book to read. It was one in a long line of animal and pet-themed books. This particular book was a very quick read for someone who is notorious for taking forever to get through a novel. The book made her laugh, it made her cry, and famously say: "Not in my house!" The book...

Blake Matthews — Thu, 8 Jan 2009 16:05:25 EST

Battlestar Galactica - Season 4.0 is the first half of the popular sci-fi channels hit series final season.
Sci-Fi Channel’s Battlestar Galactica has become a phenomenon. It's a re-imagining of the 1970’s science-fiction series of the same name, and this new version is enjoying a far greater success than its predecessor. While the original series only lasted one season, Sci-Fi will premiere the second half of the show’s fourth and...

Scrub-bing In Again

Josh Lasser — Wed, 7 Jan 2009 19:19:47 EST

Sacred Heart and the team from Leverage make for a pretty good evening.
Boy, was last night a fun night of television. First up was Leverage, which really seems to have hit its stride. I was, as you may recall, initially concerned over the fact that the show's twists weren't very twisty. Happily, they seem to have abandoned the notion of doing a twist the past few episodes. It's a change that works far...

An Interview With Sera Gamble, Supernatural Producer and Writer, Part One

Alice Jester — Wed, 7 Jan 2009 17:51:01 EST

Sera talks about the introduction of angels to the mythology, Castiel, Dean�s faith issues, and Sam and Ruby's strange relationship.
A seven-week hiatus can be rather maddening. Given Supernatural’s explosive season four and the mind-boggling material that’s been presented for ten episodes, this long time to reflect has left me with more questions than answers. I’m sure I’m not alone.Thankfully Sera Gamble, supervising producer and writer for...

A list of my top 10 worst movies of 2008.
"Ten at a Time" is a series of my top 10 lists of movies in different areas, like a particular year or lists of a more specific nature like a certain genre. Most of the lists will be retrospective, meaning I will be looking at years past, now having had the chance to view a lot of films I might not have seen in the cinema, and am now...

Secret Life and Top Gear Keep Me Intrigued

Josh Lasser — Tue, 6 Jan 2009 21:28:13 EST

I only watched two hours of TV last night, but I was still intrigued.
In describing how flat, non-stylized, utilitarian things can still be beautiful and function perfectly, a wise man said last night, "Look at Keira Knightley, she's just an ironing board with a face, and she works." I'll give you three guesses who said that, and your first two don't count. That's right, my good friend and...

Movie Review: Revolutionary Road

moviejohn — Tue, 6 Jan 2009 18:56:05 EST

Director Sam Mendes reunites the star-crossed lovers of Titanic and places them in the dirge of 1950s materialistic suburbia.
Nine years after he explored the detrimental results of getting stuck in the materialistic American dream in the '90s in American Beauty, director Sam Mendes now rewinds the clock to the 1950s to show that pursuit was even more ensnaring in Revolutionary Road. The suburban houses and the picket fences are comforting but just staying in...
