Review: ‘Cadillac Records’

Review: ‘Cadillac Records’

Jeremy:
Good, bad, or somewhere in between, ‘Cadillac Records’ would be an enjoyable experience for someone not even watching the screen. A film about the rise of Chess Records, which recorded albums for Muddy Waters, Chuck …

Review: ‘Pathology’ on DVD

Travis:
Peter Petrelli gets sinister! Yes, ‘Pathology’ stars Milo Ventimiglia who is best known as Peter from ‘Heroes’. He needs to be looking into some work in movies as the once popular TV show is starting …

Review: ‘Australia’

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 …

S.L.I.F.F. Review: ‘The Wrestler’

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 …

S.L.I.F.F. Review: ‘Timecrimes’

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 …

Review: ‘Twilight’

Review: ‘Twilight’

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 …

S.L.I.F.F. Review: ‘The Objective’

S.L.I.F.F. Review: ‘The Objective’

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 …

S.L.I.F.F. Review: ‘Chasing Birds’

S.L.I.F.F. Review: ‘Chasing Birds’

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 …

S.L.I.F.F. Review: ‘Remarkable Power!’
Tuesday, 18 Nov, 2008 – 22:11 | No Comment
S.L.I.F.F. Review: ‘Remarkable Power!’

Jeremy:
‘Remarkable Power’ is the kind of comedy that you expect to find on a video store shelf with the words “National Lampoon Presents” in front of the title. It’s rarely funny, it feels like …

S.L.I.F.F. Review: ‘The Last Lullaby’
Tuesday, 18 Nov, 2008 – 6:00 | No Comment
S.L.I.F.F. Review: ‘The Last Lullaby’

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. …

S.L.I.F.F. Review: ‘Not By Chance’

S.L.I.F.F. Review: ‘Not By Chance’

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 …

S.L.I.F.F. Review: ‘Carny’
Monday, 17 Nov, 2008 – 13:15 | No Comment
S.L.I.F.F. Review: ‘Carny’

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 …

Review: ‘Synecdoche, New York’

Review: ‘Synecdoche, New York’

Travis:
I am now “officially” a fan-boy of Charlie Kaufman! I have already immensely enjoyed his work to date, but not that he’s successfully navigated the director’s chair I am thoroughly convinced he is one of …

S.L.I.F.F. Review: ‘Shadowland’

S.L.I.F.F. Review: ‘Shadowland’

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 …

S.L.I.F.F. Review: ‘Strength and Honour’

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 …

S.L.I.F.F. Review: ‘Half-Life’
Friday, 14 Nov, 2008 – 17:19 | No Comment
S.L.I.F.F. Review: ‘Half-Life’

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 …

Review: ‘Quantum of Solace’
Friday, 14 Nov, 2008 – 17:00 | No Comment
Review: ‘Quantum of Solace’

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 …

S.L.I.F.F. Review: ‘Mosquito Kingdom’

S.L.I.F.F. Review: ‘Mosquito Kingdom’

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 …
