You know how to read (otherwise this all looks ridiculous to you) and you love to watch films, but for some reason or another you rarely put those together. Welcome to Foreign Friday where we respect your intellect enough to expect that you can do both at the same time. Venturing outside the comforts of …
You know that you should watch more foreign films, but you have no idea where to start. It’s going to be okay, Foreign Friday is here to be your leader. Let LonelyReviewer do the necessary digging to let you know not only what’s out in the cinematic world, but also if it’s any good. Sit …
It’s hard to imagine a time when superhero films weren’t as ubiquitous as they are now. Back when Superman and Batman were basically the only game in town, and even then, decades would pass devoid of new film releases. Alas, we now live in a different time, where millions of people who have never bothered …
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 …

Then we were served up the first bits of marketing. Buzz quickly dissipated. The trailer failed to rile excitement and the general consensus was that it …
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 …
I don’t know why I have to sell anyone on this. That might be a bad way to start a review, but I feel compelled to say it because of certain iso-metric priests/assholes that have been proclaiming that the comedic cesspool known as ‘Grown-Ups 2′ has been tracking higher than this monster/robot mash-up and that’s …
Walt Disney Studios has been slipping with live-action features. The studio has had its share of critical duds but its films have typically been able to come through financially. Big budgets, a luxury for many films, were a matter of course for the Mouse House, but a more discerning public, due to the proliferation of …
