The Square (Blu-ray) Thursday, August 19, 2010 @ 8:44PMRecommended The Film: Reminiscent of the "serious side" of The Coen Brothers' filmmaking, most especially their neo-noir crime flick Blood Simple , Australian import The Square constructs a thriller that's busting at the seams with edgy mood, intriguing performances, and a vein of suspense that's about as relentless as I've seen in a contemporary film of its type. Director Nash Edgerton, mostly ...

Cemetery Junction Wednesday, August 11, 2010 @ 7:50PMRent It The Movie Over the last five years, British comic genius Ricky Gervais has built quite the cinematic resume. (We'll, uh, overlook the Night at the Museum series.) As if cementing his pop cultural legacy with The Office and Extras was not enough, Gervais and, to a lesser extent, his creative partner Stephen Merchant, have seized their opportunity to make a handful of idiosyncratic ...

The Warlords (Blu-ray) Saturday, July 3, 2010 @ 6:14PMRent It The Film: Note: This review, and the film's star rating, covers the 113-minute International Cut of Peter Ho-Sun Chan's film.

Review: 'The Karate Kid' Monday, June 14, 2010 @ 1:15PMThe reboot of the 1984 classic that pitted underdog Daniel Larusso against merciless bullies offers the same crowd-pleasing charm but with a contemporary twist.

Wilmington on DVD: Shutter Island, the Three and Four Musketeers, From Paris With Love Wednesday, June 9, 2010 @ 10:11AMMartin Scorsese's Shutter Island is a horror movie for aficionados who've had their fill of the current psycho-splatter norm.

Hamlet (2009, Royal Shakespeare Company) Thursday, May 27, 2010 @ 1:18PMHighly Recommended The Film: Poisoned goblets, sword duels, Oedipus complexes, wildly-screaming bereaved women, and a black sheep of the family gone slightly mad; "Hamlet" runs the full gamut through William Shakespeare's repertoire of amusing tragic components. The core story itself is a testament to this fact, as it's spurned both exact and abstract adaptations -- from Disney animation in The ...
