Film Review: The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn
The original book series, ‘The Adventures of Tintin’ by Hergé was one of my favorite books growing up. Borrowed constantly from the library and read cover to cover, I always wanted to see a big screen adaptation of Tintin. But alas, Tintin’s heyday was far behind us, and even still, the series, at least in …
Film Review: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
The original “Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,” admittedly passed right by me. I completely missed the boat on that one. Sure its on Netflix, and I definitely will watch it, but when I heard David Fincher was going to be doing an American adaptation of it, I held off on seeing the original. This will …

Preview Review: December 2, 2011
CORIOLANUS I’m a big fan of Ralph Fiennes, and not just because we share the same birthday and were both born in a town called Ipswich (its true, look it up) but because he has always been an interesting actor. He struck gold in the early to mid 90s with Schindler’s List and The English Patient, among many other …
Film Review: The Muppets
It’s rare when a franchise comes back from a long hiatus and actually succeeds at capturing something new and special. However, everything leading up to “The Muppets,” was suggesting otherwise. You had a lead writer/actor that was a true fan from top to bottom, you had the backing of a major studio, and, you had …
Film Review: Hugo
‘Hugo’ is director Martin Scorsese’s first foray in a long while that is in complete unfamiliar territory. For starters, this is his first film absent of Leonardo DiCaprio in 10 years. Secondly this is the first Scorsese picture intended for all ages. Notice I didn’t say “intended for kids.” I don’t think Scorsese set out …
