Alright, summer is finally over and all I can do is give a big sigh of relief. I feel the same way when it comes to this latest addition to the Rom-Com category. After a few viewings of the trailer I had to say that I was a little worried. Mostly because it felt like Going the Distance was just the first of many that would try to cash in on the crowd the (500) Days of Summer left behind. I’m happy to say I was wrong and the only thing Going the Distance has in common with one of my favorite movies from last year is how...

“I am Pat f***ing Tillman!  Why are you shooting at me?” I remember when Pat Tillman died.  The story was on every major network.  I do not remember stories about him joining the Army, but I am not a football fan so that may have not been news to me.  I also remember when it was reported that he was killed by fratricide (friendly fire) after the government decided to try and make him a hero.  I have seen The Tillman Story twice, and the second time did not lessen the effect that the movie had on me. Pat Tillman...

Machete was born out of a fake movie trailer that ran before Robert Rodriguez’s Planet Terror in the double feature Grindhouse with Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof.  After seeing the trailer, many fans started asking when they would be able to see the entire movie.  Robert Rodriguez obviously took note because the movie Machete does not disappoint.  I never saw the Grindhouse double feature, mainly because ridiculous amounts of violence and gore are not my cup of tea.  After seeing the real trailers for Machete...

Angela and I had a chance to catch the new George Clooney film, The American. It was nice to see a true film after so much of the fluff this lackluster summer had brought upon us, watch the video below to see why. By Ryan and Angela

I hadn’t realized that The Producers wasn’t a touring production until Starlight President and Executive Producer Denton Yockey shared as much prior-to the show’s opening night curtain. I guess I should have noticed that the Preview performance Monday night was a giveaway or the fact that I had read about rehearsals taking place here in town for a couple of weeks now. Regardless, as it proved last season with Anything Goes, the Starlight production staff can put on a heck of a show as, pardon the pun here, producers...

Takers is another heist movie, revolving around a group of thieves/BFFs who do jobs every few years. Other hobbies of theirs include wearing suits 24/7 and drinking scotch. All the time. The murder to whiskey ratio of this movie is pretty balanced, I’d say. Anyway, one of their previous heists ended poorly for one of their comrades, Ghost. Ghost is left bleeding out on a fire escape, gets caught, goes to jail and does not pass go or collect $200.  Takers is about what happens once Ghost gets out of jail with a proposition...

You should know by now that Lost In Reviews is a freak for all things LOST, so it was only fitting that we dedicate a whole week just to the release of LOST The Final Season (season six), available on Blu-ray and DVD Tuesday, August 24. Of course, you could pick it up at midnight at your local media store tonight! I will be telling you all about the Blu-ray edition. The first thing you will notice about the package is how small it’s gotten compared to your other Blu-rays, season one through five. Well, you have to take...

Why do most people have such discontent with music like Dave Matthews or Jack Johnson that never stray from a basic formula of love, having a peaceful good time, togetherness, flip-flops, pineapples, doing good things in this world, and just sitting in a circle of friends on the beach playing guitar and sipping on rum? What is to not like about it? Do positive vibes scratch at these people’s very core? What is it about this music that when these people hear it they say something like, “This music is for liberal fags!...

You’ve already seen Lottery Ticket. No really, you have. Don’t believe me? If you’ve seen a Friday movie, a ‘Madea’ flick, Barbershop, or Beauty Shop, then you know exactly what to expect out of Lottery Ticket. Here you have the same movie with new characters, new antics, and a couple of questionable attempts at humor that are a little offensive. Lottery Ticket delivers a fairly hum-drum plot. Kevin (Bow Wow) lives with his grandmother in the ‘hood and is a recent high school graduate....

It was announced today that Rooney Mara will be Lisbeth Salander to Daniel Craig’s Mikael Blomkvist in the US version of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.  David Fincher will be directing as previously reported and shooting will begin in Sweden next month.  Mara was signed to appear in all three Millennium trilogy films.  Please check out a previous post for other cast members. Rooney Mara will be seen in Fincher’s The Social Network, which may have given her a running start for the audition process.  She was...

At some point in every woman’s life, and probably a man’s as well, it hits us that we don’t have any direction. We sit up and wonder how we got to this point and fondly think back about the days when you used to tell everyone that you have ambitions and dreams of traveling the world, or finding a cure for cancer. Then it hits you, you haven’t done any of that. How could you have just let yourself go like this? Liz Gilbert finds herself in this same predicament after a marriage she is not satisfied with...

Hey man, do you like things that are awesome with snarky humor that would make your mom say, “WHHAAT?!?” and just leave you rolling your eyes in total humiliation? Then you will love, cue the movie guy voice, Scott Pilgrim VS the World!!!! That’s right kids this is the homage to your youth that you’ve been waiting for! Scott Pilgrim vs The World isn’t your typical comic book movie. There are no caped crusaders or robot-powered super heroes in this story. In fact it’s more like 500 Days of Summer...

This week on Blu Monday, we cover the remake, Death at a Funeral, starring Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence and many more. We also cover a few releases from last week (8/3) such as the 1951 beautifully restored Pandora and the Flying Dutchman, Diary of a Wimpy Kid and the coup de grace, Kick-Ass on Blu-Ray. by Ryan Davis and Angela Davis

Superman: Peace On Earth Written by Paul Dini Illustrated by Alex Ross Published by DC Comics The time has come to talk of Superman. He was the first super hero as we know the concept. Born in Action comics in 1938 his powers seem modest. “Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.” That ability is quaint like the running board on a Dusenberg now. At the time though he changed everything and as my friend, Stuart says, “Everything that came after is just a reflection of him.” True. I have favorites...

One of the bands that we were looking forward to most at this year’s Warped Tour was the highly acclaimed Gardening, Not Architecture. Angela got to sit down with Sarah, half of the genius that is GNA. If you don’t own their first record entitled The First LP make sure you head over to the official website and put it in your iTunes library, I promise you won’t be disappointed. Gardening, Not Architecture is an “electronic-tinged ethereal powerpop” collaboration between singer/songwriter Sarah Saturday...
