Critics agree that this film is both dark and funny, much like “Bad Santa,” a previous film by writers Glenn Ficarra and John Requa. Jim Carrey stars in his most interesting role to date and delivers an extremely balanced performance that will assuredly win over audiences. The film tells the true story of Steven Russell, [...]

As if this film’s cluster of stars – Rachel McAdams, Diane Keaton, Harrison Ford, and Jeff Goldblum – isn’t promising enough, “The Devil Wears Prada” scribe Aline Brosh McKenna wrote the script and Roger Michell (“Notting Hill”) directed. The main problem is, as talented as McKenna is, it’s difficult to transform a paper-thin romantic comedy [...]

In contemporary cinema, it’s tough to be both fresh and retro, à la Cee Lo Green. Recent Harvard grad Damien Chazelle delivers a film that is so visually distinctive and pleasing to the ears, critics describe it as an amalgam of Miles Davis and Woody Allen’s “Manhattan.” It’s a full-fledged musical story of two separated [...]

For such a low-budget alien invasion tale, “Monsters” actually looks half-decent. Only time will tell if this is a testament to contemporary filmmaking technologies or to Gareth Edwards’ talents as a filmmaker. This film takes place six years after a NASA probe containing samples of life from a distant planet crashes upon re-entry over Central [...]

While the premise may sound trite, — a story about romance between two senior citizens — the two incredible actors at the helm of this film have captured the heartstrings of many critics. A score by Nate Walcott and Mike Mogis of Bright Eyes further hints at a movie during which you will probably cry. [...]

It’s been a long time since a French romantic comedy has come along with both as much crossover appeal and critical acclaim as ‘Hearbreaker’. Time will tell if it can reach the same commercial audience as something like Amelie (not likely), but for now it looks like a solid new French comedy film with a [...]

This is a road musical/comedy out of Australia about a young aboriginal couple who must find each other against the odds. I don’t want to say it looks like an Aborigine Slumdog Millionaire with singing and dancing… but it looks like an Aborigine Slumdog Millionaire with singing and dancing. It’s loosely based on one of [...]
