Judge’s Extract lacks comedic flavour
Movie goers have developed a taste for the unsung hero. Box office hits like Superbad, Knocked Up and Pineapple Express serve to show how easy and enjoyable it is to root for characters with little more than a strong will and a knack for the absurd. While this formula for success seems to have created… Continue reading Judge’s Extract lacks comedic flavour

Smokin’ Aces snuffs out
What do you get when you cross the uninterrupted violence of The Departed with the witty, Vegas-centric dialogue of Ocean’s 11? You would probably get a much better version of Joe Carnahan’s new film, Smokin’ Aces. Despite the film’s unending list of characters and disjointed style, the plot is relatively straightforward.

The dialogue is interesting, the acting is compelling, and the writing is… Continue reading Autofocus

Hand clutched on the phone, the curly-haired local musician is talking in a quiet, concerned tone in what sounds like damage-control mode. Hanging up, Matheson rises with a smile. "Just trying to keep the band together," he says from behind the counter at Hot… Continue reading National Dust welcomes you to utopia
Don’t join in all these Reindeer Games
By Bo Rhodes
People are probably wondering why a movie entitled Reindeer Games is being released after the Christmas movie glut. The answer to this oh-so profound question is, "so the holiday season wasn’t ruined." Director John Frankenheimer’s (The Manchurian Candidate, Ronin) latest creation is such a bad movie, it’s hard to pick the one thing that makes… Continue reading Don’t join in all these Reindeer Games
