Here is a story that will most definitely pull at your heart strings, and if it doesn’t, you should probably get a doctor’s appointment. This movie is adorable in so many ways. One of the big questions coming into this film was, “Why Owls?” Well I can’t really say that I can answer that one hundred percent, but I certainly know a little more about owls. Did you know owls cough up “pellets” filled with the bones of the animals they have just ingested? Yeah, that’s in there for you. The...

Oh, how a trailer can sway your expectations. I know they are the most popular device that the studios can use to bring in the crowds, just throw Stallone, Willis, and Schwarzenegger up on the screen before your latest installment of action on the big screen and watch as the dollars roll in. The same idea is behind the trailer for Catfish in the days of the shaky cam documentary you can almost guarantee that if it has release date near October and proclaims a shocking twist ending that you have a horror movie on your hands. ...

John and Ryan sat down at Fran’s on Main Street to talk about the much anticipated sequel to the 80′s classic Wall Street. Check out the video review below and let us know what you think. By John Coovert and Ryan Davis

Undercovers has been described as an action spy thriller.  I describe Undercovers as a show that lacks originality and focus.  The husband and wife spy team Steven and Samantha Bloom played by Boris Kodjoe and Gugu Mbatha-Raw have chemistry, not to mention charisma, to spare.  But it’s not enough.  We learn at the beginning of the premiere that the Blooms have been out of the spy biz for 5 years so that they could lead a normal married life.  Which by normal they mean running a very busy and I am guessing popular...

The Kansas City Repertory Theater opened last season with an excellently dark take on Grimms Fairy tales with Into the Woods and ended it with what was easily the best show I saw last year, which Time Magazine also praised as such with Venice. Thus, Rep artistic director Eric Rosen had his work cut out for him when setting up the opening show of their 2010-11 season. So did he and director Gary Griffin pull it off? Sort of. Saved is a musical take of the 2004 film of the same name. I should note I was quite a fan of the film...

Before we get into the the show itself I ask that you please look to the picture on the left and tell me that Martha Plimpton doesn’t look as comfortable as I think she does?  Lounge pants rule and I want her T-Shirt.  Ok enough of that.  Onto Social D and The Dead Milkmen.  I hope my parents aren’t reading this but I so would have loved to have parents who even knew who those 2 bands are let alone listen to them.  Um…never mind because then I might have had to “rebel” by listening to Michael...

The original series ran from 1968 to 1980 and although I have a vague recollection of the show it is nothing more than a couple of images of Jack Lord and grass skirts.   So needless to say I went in to the premiere with an open mind and an eye out for any Lost landmarks I could spot.  No, Daniel Dae Kim does not count.  If he did then Grace Park would count as spotting a Cylon. I came out of the premiere with not much more knowledge to be honest.  Alex O’Laughlin stars as, if not younger than, an upgraded version...

Can you stand it?  November 19th is less than two months away!  The next trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 came online today. There is quite a large cast in addition to our Harry Potter regulars, but with a film of this magnitude, it should be expected. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I is in theatres November 19, 2010.  Part II is in theatres July 15, 2011. by Sarah Ksiazek P.S. Will The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Parts 1 and 2 have great trailers like these or such a stellar cast?  No.

I don’t know what the hell is going on with The Event.  In the first five minutes, I rewound it four times because I thought I had missed some crucial piece of the story.  Turns out I didn’t miss anything except a chance to be even more confused.  Luckily for me the “What the hell?!?!?” feeling never left so I neither gained or lost anything. I know it is gonna seem strange, but I could not get rid of the feeling that I had seen the “Girlfriend missing from the room” story before.  If...

$4.99! That’s what it costs to get yourself a “Giant-sized Anniversary Issue” these days. When I was a kid buying annuals or epic comics you got a thick book full of Superman stories for a quarter. A little later it got up to a half dollar. In a world of scuttling bankers and prosperity churches this is what you get now. You get a cover that frankly is kind of dorky by Gary Frank and Brad Anderson that screams “This is the ‘B’ list of illustrators”. There is a vaguely reminiscent Christopher...

Tonight I spent twelve minutes on the phone with my internet company trying to find out if my service was going to be up and running so I could write the review.  I spent five minutes cursing the air after I stubbed my toe on my way to the kitchen to get a drink before the show started.  I spent 20 minutes researching the cast and crew of the show and researching the Prohibition Era.  I spent another 30 minutes staring in vain at my laptop trying to conjure up just the right words to describe HBO’s new series Boardwalk...

The formula for Alpha and Omega, the newest brainchild of Lions Gate Productions is honestly as old as time. Said formula ends up recycled time and again, usually looking something like this: Boy loves girl. Girl also hearts boys a fair amount. Yet, all the butterflies in the world can’t compensate for the fact that said boy was born on the wrong side of town. It all comes down to bloodlines and bank accounts. Though simplified in Alpha and Omega, it shares this concept with Rebel Without a Cause, Romeo and Juliet and...

In determining if The Town, the latest picture penned and directed by Ben Affleck, is for you, you’ll need to ask yourself what it is that you’re exactly looking for in a movie. If you’re hoping to fill your two hours with action, violence and enough special effects to make The Matrix look like The Mickey Mouse Club, you might want to just go ahead and see Inception for the fifth time. Now don’t get me wrong. This isn’t because The Town lacks adventure. In fact, it’s quite the opposite....

The Scarlet Letter is a book that most of us have read sometime in our high school or college careers.  Hester Prynne is forced to wear a letter A for adultery pinned to her bodice for having an affair with the town minister.  Easy A echoes The Scarlet Letter with the main character Olive (Emma Stone) wearing a letter A on her clothing after being branded the high school slut.  Olive wears the A voluntarily to make a statement.  She told her best friend Rhiannon (Alyson Michalka) a lie that she had lost her virginity to...

I never liked X-Files. Boy do I feel better getting that off my chest. That’s right world I do not like the X-Files.  I don’t know why Scully had a stick up her ass and I don’t care.  Do aliens exist and did the Smoking Man have a purpose?  Who gives a flying … well you can fill in the blank. So you will understand that when I heard about the new show that J.J. Abrams was producing that had X-Files whisperings I barely managed to give it more than a passing glance. Logically I should have loved the...
