Deep, exceptionally smart, and profoundly cinematic, Inception is nothing less than the second coming of Citizen Kane. Just as Orson Welles’ masterpiece redefined the conception of silver screen storytelling, so Christopher Nolan’s magnum opus expands the boundaries of cinematic art in ways …

Angelina Jolie does everything but introduce herself as Salt, Evelyn Salt in this geopolitical ultra-action thriller. Delivering the suave savoir-faire associated with Bond, James Bond, her Salt is the kind of old-school secret agent who trades in glamour as much as grit. Put it this way: J…

Steve Carell channels Jerry Lewis in this very funny comedy of manners. Mean on its face, it’s also cloyingly sweet on occasion, yet its mostly unerring humor slays all objections. Indeed the LOLs are never more than a few minutes away, especially when the “idiots” get untracked. (Yes, "idiots…

The heart of a battle tank turns into a heart of darkness for four soldiers – softies – thrust into the horror of war. The obvious comparison to Das Boot captures Lebanon’s ironclad claustrophobia and blinkered view. Yet Apocalypse Now seems more fitting an antecedent given how these unwi…

Boy gets girl – as traditional as movies get. Scott Pilgrim gets the girl alright, but the rest of this video game inspired romantic comedy gets pretty far from traditional. Start with the boy, a nerdy rocker. Then the girl, a man-eater with a slew of evil – superpowered – exes, not all of w…

Noomi Rapace returns as The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo in this second movie of Stieg Larsson’s Millennium Trilogy novels. A feminist Jason Bourne, her Lisbeth Salander operates with deadly derring do on-the-net, off-the-grid, and in the grills of rapists. Wow. Even a red blooded dude like m…

If you want to see every action star from the past 20 years blowing people and stuff off the face of the earth for less than 2 hours, then go see this movie. Otherwise, consider this movie expendable. The cast is stacked with over-the-hill guys who are still huge, and are playing the same char… |
