Golden Globe Predictions

The Golden Globes are a difficult awards show to predict because, in case you couldn’t tell from the nominations, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is insane. It’s basically 12 little foreign dudes who just want to party with famous people,

Review: Seven Psychopaths

If Seven Psychopaths is one thing; it’s violent. If the film is two things; it’s violent and laugh-out-loud funny. Now, if it’s THREE things – you get the point – but I’ll say it’s self-aware, anyway. Seven Psychopaths is all

Review: Looper

I was mesmerized by 2005’s neo-noir Brick.  It was written and directed with pure devotion for the genre and cinema as a whole – and it came from the first time filmmaker Rian Johnson.  In the seven years since Johnson

Take This Waltz – I Respectfully Decline

I really wanted to like Take This Waltz.  Judging by the trailer I saw months ago, the film had everything going for it; a great cast, beautiful cinematography, and an intriguing story about love (or the lack thereof).  But Sarah

Rock of Ages: The Higher the Hair, the Bigger the Hit

Remember the 80s? The spandex, the hair teasing, the cheesy power anthems with even cheesier videos, the… rubix cube? Ok, so I wasn’t actually around during the 80s, but I have some very fond memories of the I Love the
