Elsewhere Review: The Lazarus Effect (and bonus drinking game!)

Posted on February 27, 2015 by Denise

As The Lazarus Effect seems tailor-made for the Netflix/DVD crowd, I figured why not get a jump and start the drinking game now?  It’ll be a fun film this Halloween, when it’s on Netflix and you’ve got a bunch of … Continue reading →

Elsewhere Review: Whiplash

Posted on November 6, 2014 by Denise

Nutshell: I’d give Whiplash an A-. Emotionally difficult to watch at times, but worth it. This film grabs you by your collar and drags you into it’s world headfirst, no quarter given. Simmons and Teller give Master Class performances, and … Continue reading →

Wayback Review: The Conjuring

Posted on September 24, 2014 by Denise

Fine, so it’s not technically way-back.  But as I’ve just popped up the Annabelle screening, why not link to the review I did for The Conjuring?  Here ’tis…  As always, clicky the hypertext title for the original piece! Nutshell: I’d … Continue reading →

Elsewhere Review: The Rover

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 →

Elsewhere Review: The Fault in Our Stars

Posted on June 6, 2014 by Denise

Nutshell: I give it a B+.  Not a shot-for-shot retelling of the novel, but it works.  Would have liked to have seen more of the realistic sturm-und-drang of illness, but otherwise Woodley and Elgort nail their roles.  And any film … Continue reading →

Elsewhere Review: Maleficent

Posted on May 30, 2014 by Denise

Nutshell: I give Maleficent a B.  This movie shouldn’t be any good.  It’s a one-character show with poorly constructed supporting characters, and an ending you can see coming a mile away.  But the fact that Jolie really loves being the fairy, … Continue reading →

Elsewhere Review: Belle

Posted on May 16, 2014 by Denise

Nutshell: I give Belle an A.  Excellent performances, a script that balances history with heart-tugging, and crystal-clear cinematography equals a film that’s easy to enjoy.  Makes you want to hit up Wikipedia the moment you leave the theater.  Y’know, after … Continue reading →

Elsewhere Review: Endless Love

Posted on February 14, 2014 by Denise

Here’s Part 2 of today’s Valentine’s Day movie review-ness. Thing. Gotta say I was never a fan of the original, 1981 Endless Love.  But this film — though it’s not great by any means — is one I’d watch again, … Continue reading →

Elsewhere Review: Winter’s Tale

Posted on February 14, 2014 by Denise

Welcome to Valentine’s Day y’all!  First up, a heart-tugger that may not be the most coherent story in the world, but is definitely cranked up to 11 in the luuuuuurve department.  Guys who are being dragged to see this considering this … Continue reading →

Elsewhere Review: Labor Day

Posted on January 31, 2014 by Denise

A little something from Geek for e; as always, clicky on the hyperlinked title for the original piece! Movie Review: Labor Day “And I know it’s true that visions are seldom all they seem….” Yeah, that’s from Sleeping Beauty (and the upcoming Maleficent). … Continue reading →
