Blu-ray Review: ‘A Good Day to Die Hard’ May Kill Off Franchise
Submitted by mattmovieman on June 20, 2013 - 11:01amCHICAGO – Christopher Nolan’s “Dark Knight” trilogy can’t be blamed for the deteriorating state of modern action films any more than Steven Spielberg’s “Jaws” can be held accountable for commercializing American cinema. Yet the spectacular box office performance of Nolan’s terrific series has naturally caused studios to misinterpret the root of their success.
Film Review: ‘G.I. Joe: Retaliation’ Almost Turns Macho Stupidity Into Art
Submitted by BrianTT on March 28, 2013 - 8:40amCHICAGO – “G.I. Joe: Retaliation” is the kind of dumb summer action blockbuster that works in the season when the kids aren’t in school and the movie theater is used as an excuse to get in the air conditioning as much as see anything approaching filmmaking. It nearly works in March. Nearly.
Blu-ray Review: Bruce Willis, Rebecca Hall in Dull ‘Lay the Favorite’
Submitted by BrianTT on March 13, 2013 - 9:02amCHICAGO – Every once in a Hollywood while, a true head-scratcher comes along. How on Earth did this movie, with this many talented people involved, end up so boring? If you told me that Stephen Frears (“The Grifters,” “The Queen”) was re-teaming with his “High Fidelity” scribe D.V. DeVincentis on a dramedy with the great Rebecca Hall and Bruce Willis, I would probably put that flick on a highly-anticipated list.
Film Review: ‘A Good Day to Die Hard’ Makes For Bad Movie Night
Submitted by BrianTT on February 13, 2013 - 12:15pmCHICAGO – The franchise has been in steady decline since the original “Die Hard,” quite simply one of the best action films of all time, but that still doesn’t prepare one for the truly horrendous “A Good to Day to Die Hard,” a complete waste of time on every level.

Blu-ray Review: Fantastic ‘Looper’ Gets Great Blu-ray Release
Submitted by BrianTT on January 7, 2013 - 4:54pmCHICAGO – I clearly loved “Looper” as evidenced by my initial review, interview with Rian Johnson, placement of Emily Blunt on my Best Supporting Performances of 2012 piece, and putting it #9 on my Best of 2012. Watching it again in glorious HD, I had a surprising thought given all of the above — I may have underrated it.
Blu-ray Review: Wes Anderson’s Brilliant ‘Moonrise Kingdom’ Given Average Release
Submitted by BrianTT on October 26, 2012 - 8:59pmCHICAGO – Wes Anderson’s “Moonrise Kingdom” was a surprising delight in theaters this past Summer but it seems even more effective at home where one can approach this excellent comedy on an intimate, personal level. Perhaps it’s because so much of “Moonrise” plays like old home movies or long-lost memories of youth that the film holds up so well on repeat viewing. Sadly, the Blu-ray release is woefully underwhelming with a great Bill Murray commercial but little else in terms of special features.

Interview: Rian Johnson Crafts a Sci-fi Masterpiece with ‘Looper’
Submitted by BrianTT on September 26, 2012 - 3:15pmCHICAGO – Rian Johnson’s “Looper” is going to blow your mind. The third film from the director of “Brick” and “The Brothers Bloom” (as well as episodes of “Terriers” and “Breaking Bad”) is a highwire act of time travel action and human drama.
