Valentine’s Day (2010)

Bill Clark — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 05:00:18 +0000

It’s always a worrisome proposition when an upcoming film touts nothing but its cast. Granted, Valentine’s Day has a doozy of a cast; probably the biggest ensemble in years. While the credits are impressive, the film is very mediocre. Trying desperately to be the next Love Actually (possibly the best… Continue reading

Good Luck Chuck (2007)

Sin City (2005)

Bill Clark — Wed, 06 Apr 2005 04:00:19 +0000

Sin City is a cornucopia of violence, grit, and attitude. Many will feel unclean after viewing the film’s stylized and hypnotic ballets of gruesomeness. They don’t call it “Sin City” for nothing. Writer/director Robert Rodriguez has been lobbying to get author Frank Miller’s graphic novel stories to the big screen… Continue reading
