BRINGING UP BOBBY BY CHRISTOPHER HASKELLMAY 4, 2014 Many questions arise from watching “Bringing Up Bobby.” First, of which, is why did actress Famke Janssen decide to write, direct, and produce this film as her first directorial venture? A somewhat successful actress in her own right, you would assume either this was a passion project of hers or something she felt very strongly about. … Read More Quick Review: Bringing Up Bobby (2012)
RESIDENT EVIL: EXTINCTION BY CHRISTOPHER HASKELLAUGUST 11, 2010 “Resident Evil: Extinction” appears to be the final nail in the coffin of the franchise (until the disaster of “Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D” was announced for September 10, 2010).

A PERFECT GETAWAY BY CHRISTOPHER HASKELLDECEMBER 29, 2009 A visually stimulating, subpar suspense-thriller. From the start of the film, you know that you are in for scenic Hawaiian views with twists and turns, both literally and metaphorically. The film wastes no time delving into the rigamarole of the human perception. Almost in a tropical version of Clue, you try to decipher who the killers … Read More Movie Review: A Perfect Getaway (2009)
