The Crazies (2010)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0455407/ THE CRAZIES delivered some fantastic scares, fun thrills and took the original to new heights! Now, don’t get me wrong – I really enjoyed the original. But, the old school pace and budget made it challenging to watch at times. This revamp of the original amps things up to 11 and grabs you right out of the gate. Minutes in, the movie takes it’s first turns for the horrid with the baseball scene shown in the … Read entire article »

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0814255/ Chris Columbus puts down the Potter books and moves to another book based film. Riding on the Potter Twilight book-movie money train, PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS managed to entertain immensely. The main difference between what I’ve seen with the Potter and Twilight franchises is no downtime lag in story and pace. This movie rolled along extremely well with fantastic roller coaster action and a fun storyline. As a mythology fan, this movie hit all the … Read entire article »

Chairlift
http://www.chairliftmusic.com/ Our music correspondent Indigo T.J. found this little nugget of a band for us. Initially formed to make background music for haunted houses (odd), CHAIRLIFT scored the “cool factor” by being picked for an iPod commercial, which automatically boosts groups into momentary stardom. What they do with it after that is up to them. Bruises warrants being used for a commercial. It has a fun little hood and strange lyrics that has one doing the “what … Read entire article »

House of the Devil
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1172994/ This movie has been bantered about as the new Rosemary’s Baby for our set. A masterwork of of horror. Amazing…shocking…mind blowing… Yeah. I wanted to see this film before the hype smashed it into oblivion and before any spoilers ruined whatever surprises the movie might be able to deliver. Well worth a viewing, HOUSE OF THE DEVIL does provide a fun experience for horror lovers. HOUSE is set in the 80s and has an 80s look … Read entire article »

Little Dragon
http://www.little-dragon.se/ LITTLE DRAGON is a dream turned into song. The music colors a slow, soft fabric of easiness that is ideal for reading a book on a rainy afternoon. Steering away from the trip hop tech, the Swedish band is braced up against the vocals belted out by lead singer Yukimi Nagano. She croons and swoons like a siren leading you to the pillow-soft rocks on the shores of Coolsvillia! I’m sorry if this seems like it’s … Read entire article »

Moon (2009)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1182345/ In today’s big budget, over the top, billion dollar bonanza movie world, it’s nice to see a smaller range movie do so well with critics and at the box office without turning to art house ideals or “mumblecore” antics. MOON stars Sam Rockwell as Sam Bell, the lone occupant of a moon based fuel mining station. Kevin Spacey voices the station’s computer. While Duncan Jones’ film almost reads as a play, it never drags and manages … Read entire article »

How to Steal a Million (1966)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060522/ This film was a delight. Now, don’t bother watching it if you don’t find films of the 60s endearing and sweet and fun – you will not enjoy this film. However, for those like me who love the films of this era, HOW TO STEAL A MILLION was a fun vacation from the hustle and bustle of some of todays cinematic efforts. A classic robbery film, MILLION doesn’t have blood, swearing or ladies running around in … Read entire article »

Dog Day Afternoon (1975)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072890/ I think we’ve all had one of those days. Those days we wish we didn’t get up and out of bed to venture into the cold light of day. Well, Al Pacino and John Cazale are having one of those days in DOG DAY AFTERNOON and it’s just going to get worse. Sonny and Sal are going to rob a bank. It seems easy enough – they have guns, a plan of action, and a fool … Read entire article »
