Ah, the year that was.  Like any year, 2008 had its cinematic ups and downs.  In the next couple of weeks, we’ll go over our own, personal pros and cons of the films 2008 had …

Travis:
It’s been so long, Baz… good to have you back! The simple but appropriately named ‘Australia’ is the newest film in the Luhrmann legacy. Who would have thought that an Australian filmmaker would end up …

We frequently get readers emailing us about movies they can’t remember or figure out the names of, so we figured… What better way to show them we are reading than to do a feature about …

Travis:
If Forrest Gump had been a professional wrestler, he might have said “Life is like a pile driver.” For Randy “The Ram” Robinson, life is like an endless series of pile drivers and body slams …

With the Thanksgiving holiday rapidly approaching, we’re all gearing up for the annual ritual of stuffing our faces full of turkey and pumpkin pie, followed by football and intermittent periods of snacking and napping… followed …

Jeremy:
You could get a nosebleed thinking too hard about time travel movies.  If John and Sarah Connor stop Judgment Day from happening in ‘Terminator 2′, than the war with the machine can’t happen, and Kyle …

Well ‘Twilight’ is officially here, and isn’t doing very well with critics, so instead of you going out and trying to find tickets to this damn movie, waiting in line for who knows how long …

Travis:
I have mixed feelings about ‘Twilight’. On one hand, I am disgusted that the film has strayed so far from the classical idea of what a vampire is, but on the other hand I applaud Stephenie …

Travis:
‘The Objective’ is the newest film in the slowly evolving new genre of reality-themed quasi-docuscary thriller films. Huh? Exactly. The film, directed by Daniel Myrick (Blair Witch Project), follows CIA Special Agent Keynes (Jonas Ball) as he leads …

Travis:
I enjoyed watching this film, but I probably giving it a better rating than it truly deserves. At a convieniently short 54 minutes in length, ‘Chasing Birds’ feels a little more like reality TV than …

Travis:
‘The Last Lullaby’ features one of the masters of the indie/low-budget badass role, Tome Sizemore (Heat), who plays Price, a semi-retired hit man who isn’t exactly transitioning easily into his new lifestyle of “easy” living. …

Jeremy:
Brazilian filmmaker Philippe Barcinski’s film ‘Not By Chance’ is a moving depiction of how life can get in the way of life, how things change in a instant and even the most fervent control freaks …

Travis:
‘Carny’ is a documentary that plays more like a gritty drama of relationships you might find in a David Lynch film. The film follows a group of carnival workers (”carnies”) as they live their lives …

Travis:
‘Shadowland’ is a locally made film by the multi-talented Wyatt Weed, who also act, writes edits produces and does special effects. This is Wyatt’s first time around on a feature film as a director and …

Travis:
Director Mark Mahon makes his feature film debut with an Irish drama about a father who is willing to do whatever it takes to save his son. Unfortunately, he finds that the decisions that have …

Travis:
‘Half-Life’ is a movie that deceives the viewer o the surface, teasing us with its animated scenes and it’s near-future global warming gone wild storyline. The truth is that these two elements, while interesting, play …

Tom:
‘Quantum of Solace’ is, I think, a great title for a movie though I still am not sure exactly what it means. The 22nd, official James Bond opus, and the second with Daniel Craig in the …

Jeremy:
I remember back in the mid to late ’90s after ‘Pulp Fiction’ came out.  There were countless amounts of knockoffs, films that wanted to infuse that same sense of cool that came from the combination …
