G-S-T Review…Snitch
The nicest thing that can be said about Snitch, the film that commences Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s movie year, is that it’s no The Tooth Fairy. If we search for a silver lining, too, we can also rationalize that it can only be uphill from here. (And then we can cross our fingers.) Several years ago I might have opined that nobody really knew how best to utilize Johnson’s myriad talents, from his sense of humor to his obvious physicality, but even then I would have been lying; if you need to see the People’s Champion at his best, just watch The Other Guys or The Rundown and marvel at…

It got mixed reviews but managed to keep pace and handle the top drawer acting talent pretty well we hear. Yahoo movies has released the official theatrical trailer and it gives a little more of the plot while hints at the tension in this politically charged chase themed film…enjoy! The Company You Keep follows a single father/lawyer in upstate New York whose upper-middle class life is shattered when his past as a radical activist member of the Weather Underground is revealed and he is accused of having been the…

Ohhh, Look…Cloud Atlas Directors Attempt To Describe 'Cloud Atlas'
The Wachowski’s, Andy and Lana (formerly Larry) have sci-fi and action running through their veins. Two of their most high profile films show the inherent passion and lengths they go to when committing to a project. The Matrix trilogy was, in short, a benchmark in film history and a game changer to say the very least. Then came Speed Racer. While loved by some and loathed by others it still had merit and notable high points (like the race sequences) even if most people liken it to being hit by a rainbow with a mean right hook. But if there’s one thing the siblings have down pat, it’s spectacle. Anyway, for years the secretive…

Sweet Trailer…'Robot & Frank'
Set in the near future, Robot & Frank stars Frank Langella as an ex-jewel thief receives a gift from his daughter: a robot butler programmed to look after him. Sometimes old habits die hard and as such, this master thief and his new robot pal try their luck as a heist team. This trailer has an entirely sweet vibe to it all and as it’s got mostly positive word of mouth, Robot & Frank looks like a total win. Have a look for yourselves… The trailer really sums it all up without giving too much away..but I guess we’ll see when it gets closer. Directed by Jake Schreier and starring…
