Troubled Water is complete with superb acting, flawless direction, and incredible camera work. Moments of tenderness ease dramatic tension without derailing it. Troubled Water forces one to question morality, guilt, and consciousness.

The pastor, Anna (Ellen Dorrit Peterson), and her son, Jens (Fredrik Grondahl)quickly grow fond of him, as do other members of the church. However, it doesn't take long for a local teacher, Agnes (Trine Dyrholm) to recognize him as her son's killer. - Read More
The Drummer has a bit of something of everyone: a car chase and fight scene, beautiful scenery, romantic undertones, amazing music- all which accentuate the spiritual journey of the main character, Sid.
Sid (Jaycee Chan) is a headstrong teenager with a ruthless father, Kwan (Tony Leung Ka Fai). Sid makes himself an enemy of a gang leader, causing his father to send him to Taiwan for protection. He hears far-off drumming, and hikes the mountain to come across a group of Zen drummers rehearsing. He requests to join their group, citing his previous drumming experience- in a rock band. - Read More
The movie centers around Mr. Fox, a chicken thief turned newspaper writer who is undeniably likable, and with the voice of George Clooney, is smooth and slightly arrogant. Mrs. Fox (Meryl Streep)is typically supportive; their son, Ash (Jason Schwartzman), is the stereotypical teenager, with an all-too relatable attitude. Willem Dafoe lends his voice as Rat, a psychotic karate whiz who guards the cider storage room. - Read More
Two buddies, Eugene Bell (Zach Cregger) and Tucker Cleigh (Trevor Moore), are lifelong friends. Eugene is a sloppy proto-pervert who oggles Playboy magazine and the whole Playboy lifestyle. Tucker is a bit naive, and Eugene is a jackass. Tucker and his girlfriend decide to have sex for the first time at a Grad party. Instead, Eugene gets him drunk and so he falls down the stairs and into a coma for four years.
Fast-forward four years: Eugene wakes up the Tucker with a baseball bat, and two hours of mind numbing low-jinx ensues. - Read More
Imagine having the ability to imprint not only skills and knowledge but detailed personality traits into apparently willing humans. This is the basis of the Dollhouse, a shadowy organization that rents out its Dolls (called "actives" when they are imprinted) to wealthy, discrete clients. Sometimes things go well, but since this is an action/thriller show, they usually don't. The central Doll is Echo, played by Eliza Dushku who, over the course of the season, shows fairly impressive range.
Each Doll also has a dedicated Handler, sort of a bodyguard who can pull them off the job with key phrases (much like a hypnotist snapping his fingers). - Read More
There are certain ingredients necessary for a good thriller. An interesting plot, some choice baddies and a little action thrown in for spice. Sadly The International provides only some small bites of each, failing to deliver a full serving of any.
The writer Eric Singer, in his first feature-length film, clearly is in love with 1970’s thrillers as he re-cycles every cliché in the book and tries to make INTERPOL sexy again. The meandering, directionless plot could have been cribbed from a slew of B-movie thrillers and never really engages the audience.
Heading up the cast is a pairing that, on paper probably looked good but on screen was pointless. Clive Owen brings his now-patented brooding, unshaven, disheveled intensity once again. - Read More
What happens when the predator becomes the prey? In Hard Candy, we watch a 30-something photographer, Jeff lure Hayley, a precocious honor-roll 14 year old from an internet chat room to a meeting at a local coffee shop and then to his home. Unfortunately for Jeff, Hayley already knows what she's getting into.
Everything about the production -- from the direction to the sound editing -- is well executed but the performances from the two leads, each intensely emotional and raw, are the cornerstone.
Watching Hard Candy is an intellectual tennis match as the audience is torn between rooting for the creepy pedophile and the violent teen. Is it exploitation? That's hard to say although the suggestion algorithms on some movie sites put it in the same category as Saw and other "torture porn" horror films. Personally, I would put it in the same category as some of David Mamet's and Neil LaBute's work such as Oleanna and In the Company of Men. - Read More
This movie picks up from the events of Anacondas III. A scientist has perfected a hybrid of a Black Orchid that is capable of delivering total regeneration. Unfortunately, his anaconda test subject gains the ability to regenerate and grow to massive size. Three groups land in the same locale in the Carpathian Mountains of Eastern Europe: Amanda, a botanist (Crystal Allen) returns to happen upon a student walking in the woods; an archaeology team digging into the mountains; and mercenaries, dispatched by a dying billionaire, Murdoch, played by John Rhys-Davies (oh, Gimli... you'll do anything for money). - Read More
There are people a certain age for whom Star Wars was the Best Movie Ever, they saw it in the theatre (many times), bought the toys, lined up for the sequels and tested each other's knowledge of trivial minutae. I know several such fans. When George Lucas finally announced that the long-awatied prequels would be released, beginning with Episode 1, the fans got very excited.
Set in Ohio in 1998, Fanboys follows four of these fans who decide that they actually can't wait six months to see the movie when it comes out. Instead, they plan to break into Skywalker Ranch and steal a copy. Basically, it's a geek roadtrip film that lands somewhere between Free Enterprise and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (and in fact there are cameos that tie this film to both of those titles).
It was marketed as a Seth Rogen/Kirsten Bell vehicle but neither one is the star. - Read More
The film opens on death row. A condemned prisoner, Martin Wright (Sam Worthington) is giving a chance to donate his body to science. The scientist is from Cyberdyne Systems. In Terminator 3, John Connor is locked away safely when Skynet launches Judgment Day to emerge as the salvation of mankind-- pre-armed with the foreknowledge of how to fight the machines. Tune in 15 years later: Christian Bale plays John Connor-- the rebel leader / soldier. - Read More
