Dir. by Nicolas Winding Refn

You ever go into a movie theater with really high expectations, knowing you're going to like the movie you're about to see? And then you get the surprise of people walking out of the theater during the movie? AND, as it turns out, the movie not only meets your expectations but exceeds them wildly? Well, yep - that was my experience with Refn's latest film, Drive.

First off, Drive is not a crime movie. Nor...

Dir. by John Favreau

Mixing sci-fi and western with cutting-edge special f/x should be a winning situation. So why does Jon Favreau's Cowboys & Aliens fall so flat? The story is simple for both genres: Lone criminal Jake Lonergan (Daniel Craig) was abducted by aliens but somehow escaped. He has full amnesia, though, and can't remember any details about that much less about himself. The aliens are abducting large numbers of local townsfolk, including son of the ...

2011 Dir. by Matthew Vaughn I'll be honest here: I never liked the X-Men comics. When I started to get back into comics in high school (thank you, Alan Moore) we had two comic stores in my town, on opposite sides of the city limits. The one thing they both had in common were shrieking X-Men fanboys, babbling and crying over these characters like old housewives and soap operas. I wanted nothing to do with that and intentionally kept my distance. As such, then, now, I have no passion aroun...

(In theater) Aronofsky keeps to his theme of the physical, mental, and spiritual toll of seeking some level of perfection or immortality again in Black Swan. Nina (Natalie Portman) is a competent dance troupe member seeking only perfection in her performance. Her obsessesive, controlling mother (Barbara Hershey) is one of the examples in her life of what Nina could become - never a lead, always part of the group, but isolated and neurotic. When it's announced that the primary baller...

(Viewed in theater) Being an American stories that try and make me sympathetic for British royalty pretty much fall flat. I tend to see such subjects as privileged, working class-crushing symbols of English societal ignorance and, indeed, that's mostly the perception set forth in The King's Speech. Yet the story that quickly evolves touches on the universal theme of self-realization supported by strong interpersonal friendship, seemingly eliminating the barrier between its two mai...

True Grit
Potentially a musing not on God's justice but, rather, God's mercy, the Coens' take on the story of True Grit is a multi-layered improvement on the previous John Wayne vehicle.

From the opening text from Proverbs to the final, lingering closing shot, accompanied by mostly instrumental-only versions of old hymns, the Coens' take on the True Grit story isn't about revenge but, rather, living in a space where humanity is allowed to strive for balance. ...

I've loved Pee-Wee Herman ever since I was a kid. In a lot of ways, I haven't changed much since then so when I found out The Pee-Wee Herman Show was coming to Broadway I had to have tickets. And since I didn't know how well the show would be received or how long it would last I knew I had to get tickets fast. Not realizing initially that the show was based on the not child-friendly original HBO Pee-Wee Herman Show, I got a ticket for my son as well. He mainly knows Pee-Wee from Pee-Wee's...
