Movie Review: COLLATERAL


Collateral is a film about a cab driver and a hit-man, played by Jamie Foxx and Tom Cruise respectively, who come together for one unexpected night. It's directed by Michael Mann and written by Stuart Beattie.

I was recommended this film by a bunch of friends who really love it. So going in I had my expectations set pretty high, and I have to say this film did not disappoint. The whole feel of the movie was cold and yet vibrant. They were able to convey so many ideas and themes between the scenes of action that once the film finishes you start to feel uncomfortable with the feeling of doubt on if you as a human being will make an impact on society.

Retro Review: RAISING ARIZONA (1987)


Welcome to another installment of RETRO REVIEW where we take a look at films made before the year 2000.  Today we review the 1987 Coen Brothers crime comedy, RAISING ARIZONA.  Enjoy!

Zany, and off the wall in all the best way's, The Coen Brothers sophomore film, Raising Arizona, established their niche, brilliant comedic style, and gave us some of the best one liners in comedy, such as "I'll be taking these Huggies and whatever cash you got", and side-splitting scenes such as John Goodman and William Forsythe's freak out in the car! And don't forget the outstanding chase scene, dubbed the 'Huggies Chase'.

Movie Review: THE PERFECT HOST


Howdy fellow film freaks, Robert here. Typecasting can be the end of an actor's career; getting inseparably linked with a character can make it very difficult to find new work after the project that made that actor famous has ended. One solution, should the opportunity arise, is to take a role that's so different from the one they are best known for that it destroys the connection. Sometimes it backfires, as in the case of Elizabeth Berkeley and Showgirls. Sometimes it works too well, a la Matt Smith in Lost River. And occasionally it poisons the well just enough that you never look at that actor's most famous character the same way again. 2010's The Perfect Host does this for its star, David Hyde-Pierce, best known as Niles Crane, the brother of Frasier Crane in Kelsey Grammar's Cheers spinoff.
