Plot : Disney’s fantastical adventure “Oz The Great and Powerful,” directed by Sam Raimi, imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum’s beloved wizard character. When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he’s hit the jackpot-fame and [...]
Some might remember Stallone’s mumbles and growls in his version of the flashier Judge Dredd in 1995. I certainly do and I wasn’t too impressed with the movie. Neither were many movie-goers or fans of the graphic novel. The re-runs on satellite television re-affirmed my judgement. When the announcement for a Dredd 3D preview came [...]
In Taken 2, Liam Neeson’s character is taken hostage.. Sigh. Did these kidnappers not watch the first film.. will they never learn? The Plot: “Liam Neeson returns in Taken 2 as Bryan Mills, the retired CIA agent with a particular set of skills who stopped at nothing to save his daughter Kim from Albanian kidnappers. [...]

A disgraced celebrity chef, Gray (James LeGros) kidnaps a food blogger, Franks (Joshua Leonard) who slammed him, forcing a regimen of torture and cooking lessons upon his victim. In writer-director Joe Maggio’s delightfully nasty Bitter Feast, there are two villains, with two outsize egos bruised in different ways. The film settles down to a simple [...]
Right, let’s talk about Tron.. in Three D. Cumi found it extremely so-so. He lamented that the music was somewhat unimaginative, the costumes bland (no differentiation from one white or black suite to the other), the effects average and the overall production of the film, lackluster. He complained that after you get past the neon-glow [...]
Hmmm, let me see.. what can I say about the book Eat, Pray, Love. 1. I probably read it way before the book even took on its undeserved cult status , back when the title was just a blip in the magazines.. back before Oprah Winfrey endorsed it with an interview of the author… oh [...]
from www.iconsoffright.com I loved the 1st installment of [Rec] because it used first-person faux-documentary camerawork, following a TV presenter into the building as she investigated some strange going-ons and the sequel continues this style to great effect. We ride along looking through the helmet cameras of a four-man S.W.A.T. team tasked with escorting a senior [...]
It’s one of the most talked about movies of the year and, no doubt, everyone is waiting to watch Precious .. well I was anyway! To say Claireece “Precious” Jones, the title character in “Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire,” has lived a rough life would be a colossal understatement. This child-woman, amazingly [...]

Elsewhere in Europe, [...]
Ah.. the 1960′s! Back in the day when the A-list of British rock bands reigned supreme.. BBC was only playing classical music and jazz instead of .. ROCK and ROLL. The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Yardbirds, The Hollies.. all took a backseat. What a pathetic situation.. and with no commercial radio stations [...]
