As the movie started, my roommates joked that this was “Fallout: The Movie”. Given that it takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where the country is a vast wasteland, comparisons are inevitable, but some of the set pieces were also very reminiscent of the game. Given that …

Like any discerning cinema fan, I’ve always been slightly suspicious of Drew Barrymore. Can she act? It seems for every decent performance she delivers, she chooses some unbelievably soulless project that would make even the finest acting look like a middle-school play. And way too often it seems like …

I’m not a huge Keifer Sutherland fan so I wasn’t sure what to expect when my wife brought home the horror film Mirrors this past weekend.

I felt that this movie is like one of its …

I loved the movie “Brokeback Mountain” as I paid attention to the fact that it was very subtle in giving the decade that each part was to be about. In the sixties, being gay was totally taboo. Men did marry, so as not to appear gay. If the men …
