Any fear that you had due to Shutter Island’s release date change can be laid to rest because Scorsese knocks this one out of the park.  Stepping away from a comfortable genre with ease and while I love his other films, Shutter Island gives him a chance to make a film that stands on it’s own among his other classics and let’s Scorsese make a visual statement. Shutter Island is the story of Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio), a U.S. Marshal that has been called in to investigate the disappearance of a patient...

The New Mel Brooks Musical Young Frankenstein is, at times, a juvenile T & A joke-filled, madcap romp filled with quite a bit of lowbrow, though a tinge subversive, humor; it spoke to me. That’s not to say the show is perfect. If you have read anything about this show it seems every one jumps on the “it’s not nearly as good as The Producers bandwagon.” Well fortunately, to some perhaps unfortunately, I have never seen The Producers, something I plan to correct this summer out at Starlight Theater,...

So, this week’s episode was all about Locke, and what a great episode it was! Locke in the alternate universe and Locke as MiB on the island. First of all, I had to watch this episode twice to fully grasp all of the connections and first I want to point out that in the alt world, we see Locke in the wheel chair and his chair lift gets stuck on the van and he has to jump which is very similar to Sawyer falling off of the ladder on the island when he is trekking with MiB. Also, in the alt world, I love seeing him with Helen...

“Why do you have to be such a douche bag?” Marilyn says to Bill and I scream hell yeah! Finally, someone is saying it. So tonight’s episode was just awesome, WARNING: Spoilers ahead. Probably the more emotional part of the show belonged to Alby and his “indiscretions.” He is continuing his secret meetings with Dale and has even gone so far as to rent an apartment to be completely discreet. Bill mentions to Dale that someone has mentioned seeing them together and it turns out that its Laura. Alby’s...

Yesterday, the first full trailer for Toy Story 3 popped up online.  I fell asleep shortly afterward, so that’s why you are getting it today (or tonight).  Let’s just say that the trailer brings the laughs big time.  It’s been a while since I have seen Toy Story 1 or 2, but I do remember the jist of what happened in both.  In Toy Story 3, Andy goes off to college and Mrs. Davis donates Andy’s toys to a daycare center.  This scenario of course lets Pixar introduce us to a lot of new toy characters,...

In this edition of Lost in Previews, we have the trailers for Kick-Ass, Creation, Alice in Wonderland, Repo Men, and Red Riding. Sorry, it’s been a while.  There have not been a lot of good trailers out there, but I am sure that will pick up soon.  I know I already did a Kick-Ass trailer in a previous Lost in Previews, but this trailer is longer and you get a better look at the characters.  I am really looking forward to this movie coming out.  To watch the previous trailer and to read my synopsis, click here.  Kick-Ass...

I looked at the theatrical trailers posted on iTunes yesterday, and about lost it when I saw that they had a trailer for The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.  It’s a teaser trailer, but can I just say how much I loved the teaser.  You learn absolutely nothing from the teaser other than the girl is getting a dragon tattoo and then there is some computer DOS screens.  I just think it’s brilliant.  I found the trailer posted on Music Box Films youtube page and the comments left by people who watched it were not positive....

Platform: Windows PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 Rating: M for Mature Content descriptors: Blood, Intense Violence, Sexual Themes, Strong Language It’s been a few years since 2K dropped the bombshell of Bioshock, leaving everyone dying to see what was next. The original Bioshock took gamers out of the generic WWII battlefields, away from the Flood infested rings of Halo and submerged them into the dystopian wonderland of Rapture. Giving some completely unique enemies such as the protective and powerful Big Daddies and...

Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief is Hollywood’s latest tween cash grab that has the built-in audience to actually work. The only problem is that The Lightning Thief may be a direct rip off of the film with a boy that has a lightning bolt scar. So, yes you will see a boy mistreated by a parent that is keeping a secret from him, this boy will go to a school to learn things about his new abilities and yes he will be thought of as the most powerful boy at this school. The only difference here is the context;...

For the release of The Wolfman, a few of us had something to say about it. So, below you will find a video review of Angela and Shannon (from Frothygirlz) talking about their favorite parts. Below that is a video review of John and Ryan talking spoilers about The Wolfman. You have been warned.

I liked this movie quite a bit when I first saw it in 2003, and it was called Love, Actually. This is nothing but a watered down and Americanized version of the British movie, and it is mired in mediocrity. Just think of this as the ugly stepsister of Love, Actually. Despite a massive ensemble cast (Jessica Alba, Kathy Bates, Jessica Biel, Bradley Cooper, Eric Dane, Patrick Dempsey, Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Garner, Topher Grace, Anne Hathaway, Taylor Swift, Taylor Lautner, Julia Roberts, Shirley MacClaine, Ashton Kutcher, Queen...
