Anyone who loves documentary films knows this: the subject doesn’t really matter. The heart of a great documentary transcends its subject, and “The Dawn Wall” is no exception. BendFilm is bringing this film back to The Tower Theatre on Jan. 11, and it’s free for BendFilm members. “The Dawn Wall” tells the story of Tommy […]
Jason Momoa was always seen as an interesting choice to play Aquaman. He’s obviously not the blonde haired, blue-eyed Arthur Curry we’ve been seeing in comic books for over 50 years— which is a nice change from Hollywood’s typical whitewashing habits. He’s also pretty damn masculine compared to the lil’ green codpiece-sporting super friend that […]
Have we reached a place in society where we can admit the “Transformers” movies are garbage? Look, each one of the five (FIVE?!?) movies has something to offer, whether it’s watching Shia LaBEEEF slowly losing his mind on camera, T.J. Miller getting burned to ashes in the fourth one, Chicago getting systematically destroyed in the […]
Here we are again. Another end of the year list and the end of a pretty phenomenal year for film. Normally, it’s pretty easy for me to select a top 10, but this year I had around 25 in my list and it was like telling my kids they were ugly each time I eliminated […]
In a world where new movies are just sequels and book adaptations, Mary Poppins Returns is… both? The fun loving, magical somewhat of a narcissistic nanny, Mary Poppins, takes flight again in “Mary Poppins Returns.” Mary, played by Emily Blunt, yet again comes to the Banks house to help an overworked father find the importance […]
Since 2002, we’ve received six Spider-Man movies of wildly varying qualities, spread out over three separate franchises. First, we had Tobey Maguire’s emo Spider-Man, followed by Andrew Garfield’s spunkier take on the character. When the Marvel Cinematic Universe got its hands on the web slinger, we got Tom Holland’s pitch-perfect portrayal of Peter Parker and […]
Clint Eastwood has been responsible for some of the most iconic and lasting movies ever made, both as a director and an actor. In films such as “A Fistful of Dollars” and “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly,” he helped redefine the western for a modern audience—but it was as a director that he […]
Die Hard Live: Seven actors do a live script reading of “Die Hard” featuring lots of blood, wigs and questionable German accents. Film Critic Jared Rasic plays decorated officer Al Powell, so come throw produce at him if he’s terrible. Actually, throw produce either way…he should eat better. Fri., Dec. 21 7:30 pm 2nd Street […]
I‘ve been writing about movies since I was a kid, reviewing them professionally for over a decade. Even after all these years, when I look at the slate of new films in an upcoming year, I still get just as excited as I always have. Sure, it’s easy to be cynical about a new “Transformers” […]
They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions. If that’s the case, “Green Book” is all up in that infrastructure. The film pokes its head out like a groundhog, so harmless, looking to the audience for approval without stopping to think if it has anything to say. “Green Book” wants to please […]
