Elysium opens in wide release today August 9th. Sometimes film fans are our own worst enemy. We find something that we really like and latch onto it. Even better if it’s coming from someone new and is little known, because there is no denying that hibernating hipster that undoubtedly resides deep within all of us. …
We live at a time where teenagers in cinema are portrayed in a few very distinct ways: you have fantasy-filled “vampire” movies, highly stylized “High School Musical”-type movies, and high school sex comedies in the vein of “American Pie.” While I’m not looking to make a commentary on the quality of these films, they typically …
For a film to entertain can be tough. You aren’t going to reach everyone, but at the very least you can make something that will tickle the fancy of a good chunk of the population. So when a film sets out to not only entertain but also educate, it is taking on an entirely new …
It’s starting to look like 2013 might be the year for Michael Cera to prove that he has more to offer than his typical awkward ways. With his work on the YouTube channel JASH, a coke-filled turn in This Is The End and a decidedly more adult George Maharis (née Michael) on the fourth season …

The titles confuse you in their obscurity, and your attempt to whittle your options down to a manageable list quickly gets out of hand. Calm down. We’re here to help. Here at LonelyReviewer, Foreign Friday opens your eyes to a …
Museum Hours opens in Boston exclusively at Kendall Square on Friday, July 19. When you fall in love with film you have to take all of it and I mean all of it. You deal with the good, the bad and the extremely confusing (to say ugly would’ve been way too cliché). As it is …
Welcome to that little spot in the week that forces you to look outside the English language for your cinematic offerings. Foreign Friday is here to inject just a little bit of culture into your film watching habits. Since this week sees the release of Guillermo del Toro’s tribute to the mega monster films of …
