“Lars and the Real Girl” is an slightly absurdist and truly original story about family and love. It is incredibly well executed and the acting is ridiculously good. Ryan Gosling actually deserves an Oscar nomination. Do not seek out or read a plot summary of this film, should you stumble upon one. It was a […]

CineFile Video in Santa Monica, CA has very possibly made the coolest set of movie-related T-shirts ever, combining the best thing about heavy metal (the band logos of course!), and the best in legendary film directors from around the world.

Every Halloween, video stores are bombarded with the same question: “Do you know any good horror movies I haven’t seen yet?” Believe me, I know– I used to work at one.

In his directorial debut, Ben Affleck creates a strong sense of locale that permeates the entire story and becomes its most affecting element. It is familiar turf for Boston native Affleck, and his movie […]

J.D.'s Top 10 Best Sequels

by JD Warnock on October 15, 2007

in Top 10s

I have therefore omitted that film from the top of this list. I’ve also left out “The Empire Strikes […]

As far as I can tell, the Farrelly Brothers did just one thing that’s different in this movie than they’ve done in their previous films. Unfortunately, I can’t tell you what that is without ruining the ending. So, lets talk about what they did…again. Eddie Cantrow (Ben Stiller) is a commitment-phobic sporting goods store owner […]
