This week’s user-submitted Top 10 comes from a guy I know very well. Cameron Hawk, from Lawrence, KS, is a singer/guitarist in The Dead Girls. It’s only appropriate then that he rings in on the ongoing debate in our Top 10s about music in movies. If you have a Top 10 idea you’d like to […]

From the trailers, “Blindness” may look like an M. Night Shyamalan event movie where an unexplained supernatural event leads to chaos and it’s all resolved with a twist ending, but it’s actually the kind of movie that could conceivably be shown in a Western Civ course. Like that required 100-level history course, though, the movie […]

This Ed Harris pet project is a traditional Western in every sense of the word, from its themes right down to the gorgeous “magic hour”-shot cinematography.

There’s hardly an extended action scene in Ed Harris’ new Western “Appaloosa.” Everybody is such a good shot that almost all the gunfights last about two seconds. Actor/co-writer/director Harris, working from a book by Robert B. Parker, is clearly not worried about modern action conventions. He also knows what classic Westerns should look and sound […]

I’m not one to get hung up on silly plot devices—as long as there is a very good reason for them. In Christopher Nolan’s remarkable backwards-time thriller “Memento,” you have to accept that Leonard Shelby (Guy Pearce) has a short-term memory and loses everything every ten minutes or so. That makes it pretty difficult to […]

It’s only the second book from “Fight Club” author Chuck Palahniuk to be adapted into a movie, but beyond sharing a couple themes with the Brad Pitt-Edward Norton film, it has little in common with it. Eric Melin and guest co-host Trevan McGee (from inkkc.com) review “Choke,” starring Sam Rockwell, Anjelica Huston, and Kelly MacDonald […]

Director Clark Gregg has a hard time with a wildly varying tone, but this Chuck Palahniuk adaptation starring Sam Rockwell doesn’t completely choke.

Apparently, there’s an English-language remake of Akira Kurosawa‘s masterpiece “Rashomon” in the works. Hmm, that’s kind of weird since the central conceit of that movie (that every different person can have a different perspective about the exact same event) has been ripped off a billion times since 1950. Hell, just this year, there was “Vantage Point.” […]

“Ghost Town” is the kind of movie that can sink or swim on its casting alone. I mean, it’s not like we haven’t seen this film before: A cranky loner has to step outside of his comfort zone and learn to connect with people again, due to some crazy supernatural coincidence! More specifically, as you […]
