Posted on June 27, 2014 by Denise

Nutshell: I’d give Begin Again an A-.  It’s not absolutely perfect, but with beautiful music, a plot that unwinds at it’s own pace without ever veering into boring, and cinematography that’s gritty and lovely at the same time?  It’s pretty … Continue reading →

Recappin’: Adios, Gang Related. And what I’m watching now.

Posted on June 26, 2014 by Denise

I can’t y’all.  I just can’t.  I tried to watch Gang Related.  But it’s just so bad.  Even with Terry O’Quinn.  If you can’t deliver a lead character that has me caring about what he’s gonna do next, or if … Continue reading →

Gotta love the marketing for the Hunger Games series.  It’s insidious, creepy and harkens back to old-school propaganda like WWII posters, Communist Russia, and now the good ol’ southern USA. Check out the latest “message” from President Snow (Donald Sutherland, … Continue reading →

Posted on June 20, 2014 by Denise

Gotta admit; when I saw that Faizon Love and Luenell were starring in a horror flick?  My first thought was; ah, another spoof.  But this time the joke’s on anyone who’s thinking that; Matthew 18 is playing it straight-up, and … Continue reading →

Elsewhere Review: Jersey Boys

Posted on June 20, 2014 by Denise

  Nutshell: I’d give Jersey Boys a B+. A quartet of (mostly) stage stars provide spot-on Four Seasons numbers, while Clint Eastwood keeps the story from getting too fluffy or too dark. Bonus points for being able to enjoy the show … Continue reading →

Posted on June 20, 2014 by Denise

Nutshell: I’d give The Rover a B+. It’s the type of film that had me watching, completely hooked, from the get-go (granted, it’s a heckuva start). But the bleak, unforgiving style of the film may put some off. If you’re … Continue reading →
