All Is Lost-

Good day!  Below is my look at a film, that has one actor...and no more than 10 lines in it.  You need a strong actor for that feat...and Robert Redford is up for the task.

Monsters University - View on Film

Monsters University-

Wow.....12 years is a long time for a sequel to come out.  I really enjoyed Monsters Inc., but I was worried this was just a cash grab by Pixar.....but I was soon pleased to see the best comedy of the year so far.

Have a great weekend!  -Jason

Here's part one of a doubleheader review today.  I loved the first Hangover.  It was fresh, vibrant....and everything the sequel wasn't.  Somehow, this sequel is even worse.  Bummer!

Good Friday everyone!

Evil Dead - View on Film

Evil Dead (2013)-

Good Friday everyone!

I would be remiss if I didn't mention yesterday's passing of Roger Ebert.  His show with Gene Siskel is the reason I have done reviews for over 15 years.  Ebert was a giant, in making film reviews accessible for the public.  He will be greatly missed.

On to the review, and I'm not one to review horror too often, but I must say, Evil Dead delivered the goods.

See my review below.

Cheers!

Jack the Giant Slayer - View on Film

 
Jack the Giant Slayer-

Good Friday Everyone! 

Here's a film from Bryan Singer....a director I have high esteem for.  The Usual Suspects being his best film.  He's also returning to the X-men universe (He did the first two), in next year's Xmen- Days of Future Past.  That looks great!  Unfortunately, this new one, was a half-baked idea to begin with.

Cheers!
