Warner Bros didn’t tell anybody who or what they were talking about at WonderCon until their panel started. They let us know that we’d get to hear about The Losers, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and a little known movie called Splice. For the first 2 films, many of the cast showed up to answer [...]
Read More...REVIEW: The Social Network
Facebook. Everyone knows about it and almost everybody is on it. To not be a part of it is just as conscious a decision as not to drink water, as it has become just as much a part of society as eating and sleeping. Despite its widespread popularity, however, for most, little is known about its origins, its founders, and how it has become such an institution in our everyday life. Cue Columbia Pictures to bring you The Social Network, the tale of how this social networking phenom implanted itself into the homes of millions of Americans nationwide. The Social ...
REVIEW: Catfish with Q&A with the filmmakers
This is one of those festival films which got a lot of buzz, got picked up by a distributor, and then baffled the suits on how to market the film to anybody. Catfish premiered at Sundance last year by virtually unknown filmmakers with little fanfare but gained a lot of attention as it screened. The logo and trailer being show to the general public have almost nothing to do with the actual movie. And neither will this review...This film is very hard to review because once you get into what the film is really about, you ruin the movie. So ...
REVIEW: Flipped
Flipped is a great wholesome movie. It was truly marvelous. It tells the classic story of young love between a boy and a girl but in regard to film, it doesn't tell it in the classical way. The movie is set in the fifties and takes us back to a time of the radio where stories were just told verbally. Flipped heavily relies on the great monologues of the main characters and uses the visuals to support that. It's a movie that can be enjoyed by young and old and has a light enjoyable feeling even when dealing with difficult ...
REVIEW: Piranha 3D
If you're ever in Thailand, go see a movie...their theaters are very luxurious even on Hollywood standards. At the beginning of each film they play a little montage in honor of their ruling King where you must stand...it's quite a different experience but very cool. Most of the movies they show are quite recent coming out at or around the same time as the US release dates and sometimes even before! Walking around Bangkok I noticed that they were promoting Piranha 3D a lot so I knew I had to check it out... As I expected, it was hilariously bad but ...
REVIEW: Going the Distance
Going the Distance is not your typical rom com (Remember, it's rated R). Sure, it has the romantic side for the ladies but the comedy is definitely for the dudes (women will get a kick out of it too though). Starring Drew Barrymore and Justin Long, Going the Distance delivers a nonstop (pun?) orgy of humor and emotions without going over the top and keeps it realistic. It has mass appeal but doesn't sell out to conform...no wonder it was pushed back a week for the Labor Day weekend...I think a lot of people are going to love this one. The ...

Posted on April 5th, 2010 by Matthew FongDisney started their showcase with a first look at Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time starring Jake Gyllenhaal, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, and directed by Mike Newell…all three were in attendance to talk about the movie. Prince of Persia is based on the popular video game of the same name. It follows the adventures [...]
Read More...REVIEW: Clash of the Titans
Posted on March 31st, 2010 by Matthew FongClash of the Titans follows a demigod (half man/half god) named Perseusas as he fulfils his fate to bring in the new era of man and replace the rule of the Gods. Man was created by Zeus and man’s prayers fuel the God’s immortality. However, Man started to grow tired of the Gods and started to turn on them. Hades, Zeus’s bitter brother, decides to use this opportunity to overthrow his brother and take power over both Gods and Man through his pet monster called the Kraken.
Read More...REVIEW: Centurion
Posted on March 31st, 2010 by Matthew FongCenturion is the tale about the legendary Ninth Legion which mysteriously vanishes while out to capture more land for the Roman Empire. No one really knows what happened to this group of soldiers but Centurion tells one story of what could have happened. Have you ever thought to yourself how people could battle and fight each other back in the days when guns weren’t invented? When all they had were pieces of metal and their bare hands? This movie holds nothing back and shows you how it was done back then!
Read More...REVIEW: Wah Do Dem
Posted on March 26th, 2010 by Matthew FongFor the opening night of the San Francisco Independent Film Festival, I saw Wah Do Dem, a film about a New York Hipster who gets lost in Jamaica during a port stop on a cruise ship. First of all, what is “Wah Do Dem” and what does it mean? It’s patois, kind of like Jamaican [...]

Posted on March 26th, 2010 by Matthew FongDo you keep secrets from your family? Do you think your family keeps secrets from you? Everybody has something they hide or want to say to their loved ones, but I bet your family isn’t as messed up or awkward as Andy Garcia’s family in City Island. Set in the small town known as City [...]
