Opening in theaters today is the latest from the Tim Burton/Johnny Depp tandem, Alice in Wonderland, or as she’s reminded in the movie, “Underland.” Based on the Lewis Carroll books, Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, the story takes place 13 years after Alice’s first trip through the rabbit hole. Alice (Mia Wasikowska, Amelia) is set to be wed to a sniveling, digestively challenged Lord Hamish Ascot (Leo Bill). The reappearance of...
Martin Scorsese’s Shutter Island based on the novel of the same name by Dennis Lehane (Mystic River, Gone Baby Gone) opened today. A creepy, dark (not to mention windy and rainy) adaptation of an exceptionally good novel, the 2+ hour faithful rendering will be a surprising movie to those who have not read the book but might be underwhelming to those who have. Oscar-nominated Leonardo DiCaprio (Blood Diamond, The Departed) plays U. S. Marshal...
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous sleuth gets a more than elementary treatment in the new Guy Ritchie film, Sherlock Holmes, featuring Robert Downey, Jr. as Holmes, Jude Law as his longsuffering (in more ways than one) sidekick, Dr. John Watson, Rachel McAdams as Holmes’ love interest/nemesis Irene Adler and Chris Strong as the villain Lord Blackwood.

The Road, opening November 25, is the film adaptation of the Pulitzer prize winning novel of the same name by southern author, Cormac McCarthy (No Country for Old Men, which also won a Pulitzer). Set in the United States, post-an unnamed apocalypse, The Road is the story of The Man (Viggo Mortensen, LOTR trilogy, A Brief History of Violence) and The Boy (Kodi Smit-McPhee) who are surviving moment by moment with a goal of...
With “good day to be alive” possibilities swirling around the “calendrical anomaly,” September 9, 2009 (9/9/09) seems the perfect time for a CG animated catastrophe movie. Set in a post-apocalyptic near future, ‘9‘ opens today from producers Tim Burton (The Corpse Bride, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Beetlejuice) and Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted), writer Pamela Pettler (Monster House) and director Shane Acker (from his Academy Award-nominated 2004 short film). ‘9‘ tells the story as it...
The idea of a space ship "breaking down" over Johannesburg, South Africa is so outlandish as to be relegated to a Saturday afternoon Syfy flick. District 9, however, is more than a Syfy movie or than most movies one might see this year. Directed by first time directer Neill Blomkamp, produced by Oscar winner, Peter Jackson, and starring nobody that anyone outside their families have ever heard of, District 9 is a thought provoking,...
