Here’s my review of the new Matt Damon movie “The Adjustment Bureau” from KTKA-49. Philip K. Dick, the science fiction author whose works were the basis for “Blade Runner” and “Minority Report,” is famous for his far-out concepts. Movie adaptations of his work usually take the premise from Dick and little else because his ideas […]

Here’s my review of the new DVD/Blu-ray release “127 Hours” from KTKA-49. The buzz on author-actor-phd candidate James Franco before hosting the Oscars last Sunday was basically: what can’t he do? After seeing the Oscars, we now know. Thankfully, we have the fantastic and unusual film “127 Hours” out this week on DVD and Blu-ray […]

Here’s my review of the new DVD/Blu-ray releases “Due Date” and “The Tillman Story” from KTKA-49. Out on DVD and Blu-ray this week is “Due Date,” a pretty terrible road trip comedy starring Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis. It’s supposed to fall in the classic ‘odd couple’ mode with an uptight businessman and a […]

“Cedar Rapids” (2011) straddles the line between vulgarity and sweetness—often times in the same moment. Ed Helms stars as a wide-eyed insurance agent from Wisconsin who graduates to the big leagues when he attends a national conference in an Iowa hotel.

Based on the young adult novel of the same name by Pittacus Lore I Am Number Four is somewhat bland coming of age tale of a high school aged alien (i.e. college aged actor) on the run from another group of aliens that want him dead. Incredibly silly, and more than a little dumb, the […]

Last week, I posted this link on Facebook, describing the Academy Awards’ position on whether to let a monkey-masked man accept an Oscar statue, should he win: About Banksy: “It would not be dignified for the Academy to have somebody come up wearing a monkey’s head.” Oscars Want Elusive Banksy to Stay Out of Sight […]

This DVD review was originally aired on KTKA-49. Out on DVD and Blu-ray now is “Let Me In,” a movie that a lot of people wrote off before it was even released. Hopefully now this underrated gem will have an opportunity to find the audience that it really deserves. Since it was based on a […]

This movie review was originally aired on KTKA-49. “Just Go With It” is a remake of a 1969 movie that won Goldie Hawn an Oscar, which was based itself on a Broadway play, which was based itself on a French play. You wouldn’t know it from looking at the end result. The new movie stars […]

This DVD review was originally aired on KTKA-49. Two movies that you may have missed in the theaters make their debut on DVD and Blu-ray this week. Starring Andrew Garfield of “The Social Network,” the downbeat sci-fi drama “Never Let Me Go” proves to be just as fascinating on the small screen. Kiera Knightley and […]

Here’s my review of “The Company Men” from KTKA-49. We’re at least a good two years into the current economic recession—and the newly Oscar nominated documentary “Inside Job” does an incredible job of fleshing out the reasons for it and the people responsible. But that’s not the movie I’m reviewing today. This week, “The Company […]

As you may be able to tell from its title, the new comedy “I Love You Phillip Morris” is a love story. It’s about infatuation, obsession, and the insane lengths people will go to when they are deep in love’s sway. It just so happens that the lovers in question are two gay men who […]
