HOMEFRONT BY CHRISTOPHER HASKELLDECEMBER 23, 2013 Jason Statham’s patented brand of violent thrillers have become a sort of art form, with strategic fight sequences built around a loose narrative that allows Statham’s characters to always be the good guy, looking like the underdog, but using his endless skills to take down villains much in the same vein as a less debonaire James Bond.

Movie Review: Spring Breakers (2013)

by

SPRING BREAKERS BY CHRISTOPHER HASKELLMARCH 25, 2013 “Spring Breakers” is far from perfect. Still, it does display enough potential to lead director Harmony Korine onto bigger and better things, the likes we’ve seen from many up-and-coming directors, specifically the recent rise of director Nicolas Winding Refn. It is then interesting that Korine uses the same composer, Cliff Martinez (along with Skrillex, who produced the … Read More Movie Review: Spring Breakers (2013)

by

OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL BY CHRISTOPHER HASKELLMARCH 13, 2013 Aimed more at the younger generation, “Oz The Great and Powerful” lacks the humor and sophisticated nature that makes a film “fun for all ages.” The visuals are incredible, and the females are stunning, but apart from that, the adventure relies heavily on notions that are not entirely interesting.

Movie Review: Date Night (2010)

by

Date Night simply never feels grounded. The film comes off tacky and unoriginal, though still mainstream and made for an older age group. The idea of a married couple getting mixed up in a blackmailing crime for stealing reservations in attempt to escape their old life is completely laughable and unrealistic.
