Movie Trailer: THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2
Posted by Mark Saldana on December 5th, 2013
We’ve always known that Spider-Man’s most important battle has been within himself: the struggle between the ordinary obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities of Spider-Man. But in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker finds that a greater conflict lies ahead.
It’s great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield). For Peter Parker, there’s no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone). But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: Oscorp. Read more »

Over the last few days, we have all felt a bit frozen, and what better thing to do than head to the theatre for Disney’s new animated feature, Frozen, starring the voice talent of Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, Josh Gad, Jonathan Groff and Alan Tudyk. While not a Christmas movie, Frozen will warm the heart of parents and positively please the kiddos. Memorable music, delightful dialogue and awesome animation make it worthy of a fun family outing.

Review: PHILOMENA

I realize it’s completely cliché to say this, but Dame Judi Dench could read a phone book and people would listen. Ms. Dench’s remarkable, venerable performance and the screenplay, adapted by her co-star Steve Coogan and Jeff Pope from Martin Sixsmith’s 2009 nonfiction book, The Lost Child of Philomena Lee makes every moment of Philomena a delight in spite of its deep-rooted and painful themes.
Coogan who grew up Catholic, knows his subject matter well, Read more »
Review: NEBRASKA

Rating: 4 (Out of 4 Stars)
Perhaps the perfect third title in Alexander Payne’s road trip trilogy, Nebraska is pure unadulterated Payne; and that is surprising considering that his latest script came not from his usual partner, Jim Taylor, but from new collaborator Bob Nelson. Still, Nebraska has all the right elements which make his previous road films About Schmidt and Sideways wonderful, but still presents fresh material without being redundant. Hopefully, this doesn’t sound like a slight to Jim Taylor, because I admire and respect his previous work with Payne very much, but if I hadn’t been aware of Taylor’s absence on this film, I wouldn’t have guessed another writer had penned the script. Perhaps this simply indicates the skill and ability Alexander Payne has, as a director, to present the material with his signature style. Read more »

I have actually enjoyed Jason Statham’s previous work in the Transporter series; that is the first and third film. He also performs well in the remake of The Italian Job along-side Donald Sutherland, Edward Norton and Mark Wahlberg. A former DEA agent moves his family to a quiet town, where he soon tangles with a local meth drug lord (IMDB). Read more »

I am an absolute fan of all things Dame Judy Dench and when I saw the trailer for Philomena I knew immediately that I wanted to see it. A world-weary political journalist picks up the story of a woman’s search for her son, who was taken away from her decades ago after she became pregnant and was forced to live in a Catholic convent (IMDB).

I planned on taking my twelve year old niece and mother to see this film but at the last minute they had to cancel, so I was left on my own to see this film and absolutely loved it and wished they had not missed the screening. Fearless optimist Anna (Kristen Bell) teams up with Kristoff (Jonathan Groff) in an epic journey, encountering Everest-like conditions, and a hilarious snowman named Olaf (Josh Gad) in a race to find Anna’s sister Elsa (Idina Menzel), whose icy powers have trapped the kingdom in eternal winter (IMDB).
