Lockout Review

By: Bryan Montgomery
Rating: 6.5 out of 10

Generic action movies are a dime a dozen and have derived to a point where many critics take what many believe to be the penultimate action film, Die Hard, and use it to depict the plot of the newest action film. Lockout is Die Hard on a space prison. Guy Pearce’s hilarious turn as Snow can’t stop this film from being a redundant, visually poor and lifeless two-hour romp in a space station.

Shut Up and Play the Hits review

By: Mark Di Stefano
Rating: 10 out of 10

Rock documentaries have been done for decades now; from the acclaimed 1976 Roc-Doc The Last Waltz about The Band to 2008’s Shine A Light, about The Rolling Stones. It’s a type of genre that can get repetitive over the years. It’s rare to find a film, not just rock documentaries but any film in general, that makes you feel alive. Shut Up and Play the Hits, a film documenting the last days of LCD Soundsystem, is that film.

The Dark Knight Rises Review

By: Bryan Montgomery
Rating: 9 out of 10

To start, we’ll point out the best part of this film – nobody gets to make this kind of film anymore.

Christopher Nolan has broken the mold on the big-name epic, switching out special effects and digitally altered masses for hundreds of extras converging upon a single street in Pittsburgh. Movies on an epic scale such as The Dark Knight Rises do not come along often, and even when they do, they are rarely as good as this movie ends up becoming.

The Dark Knight Rises does not quite surpass its predecessor The Dark Knight on an individual scale, but looking at Nolan’s Dark Knight Legend as a whole, The Dark Knight Rises (TDKR) is, by far, the best film of the trilogy.

The Dark Knight: More than a hot guy in a tight suit… or is it?

By: Emily Kellas

The first time I saw a trailer for The Dark Knight I remember thinking, “great another one, but at least this one has Heath Ledger.” Little did I know what a departure this film would be from every other Batman film. A film person’s equivalent to a breath of fresh air, especially after the plastic nippled George Clooney years (though I am not complaining), Dark Knight captured my attention unlike any superhero film before it. With The Dark Knight Rises opening in theaters Friday my tune has changed to “great another one! And this one has Joseph Gordon Levitt!” What can I say the appeal of a handsome man is something that never changes.

The Amazing Spider-Man Review #2

By: Lawrence Foster
Rating: 9 out of 10

It seems like every other movie that is released nowadays is a re-boot or re-imagining of a franchise, and the result is a mixed bag.

For every X-Men: First Class (which is good) there is a film like A Nightmare on Elm Street (which was, you guessed it, horrible).

Given that mixed bag of films, it was no surprise that many people were skeptical of Columbia’s decision to re-boot its cash-cow franchise Spider-Man.

Luckily for movie-goers, The Amazing Spider-Man tops the 2002 version of Spidey in every way imaginable.
