In the opening scene of Social Network we eavesdrop on a conversation between Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) and his girlfriend. At the end of the scene Mark's now ex-girlfriend … more
Imagine the old Mary Tyler Moore television show with a glossy remake and you've got an idea of what to expect from Morning Glory. Rachel McAdams plays Becky, and this girl has grit and … more
**** out of **** Assuming that every movie critic is a living, breathing human being; it's very hard to believe that anyone would NOT like "Another Year". It is a very human drama. … more
Mike Leigh has always been known for making movies more about characters than stories, building his script around the improvisation of his actors as they learn who their characters really are. … more
Morning Glory is a love story from the production world dedicated to the city of New York. It shows all of the things that those of us who eat, breath, and sleep production deal with every time we are … more
As I sat with my girlfriend on her futon, absently thumbing through netflix's idea of what movies I would like, I came upon "Salt," starring Angelina Jolie. Now we did … more
There are some movies that are so bad that they are good (Wanted - another Jolie movie) and there are some movies that even with a huge budget are just plain awful. This movie falls in the latter category. … more

**1/2 out of **** "Red" is best known as "The Expendables", but with old people, as well as being a whole lot more entertaining and closer to being worth watching. Alas, I will … more
Walking out of a screening of Green Zone I cannot help but feel at a loss. The film is breathe taking and really makes you sit back and think. True this is a film, true it has roots that may hit home … more
Honestly, I wasn't expecting much when I rented this film and I didn't get much out of it either. It had strong potential to bring forth several themes of woman empowerment and how the internet … more
Well folks, I finally did it. I finally saw The Social Network after missing it in theatres. May I say, it is a wonderful movie. If I had seen this in 2010 it would have definitely made it onto my favourite … more

I can't speak for anyone else but I'm getting pretty damned tired of seeing 20 somethings on tv and in movies who are supposed to be doctors, lawyers, etc. They aren't even old … more
