Movie Review: Inception

By Jiun Kwon

Three weeks late.  I’m embarrassed, I am.  Shame on me.  But DUDE, this movie’s still #1 at the Box Office!!!  Chris Nolan, how do you DO that?  Are you a bajazillionaire now?  You’re unstoppable!

Inception has turned into one of those films that inspires adamant and sharp division (but no Fountain-fueled fist fights… yet), among critics,… Read More

Movie Reviews of Movies I Haven’t Seen: Yogi Bear

By Hawkes Klein

All productivity today went to a screeching halt after seeing the second teaser trailer for “The Social Network” (see it on NYMag’s blog HERE and note that JCPE and I are the only commenters). At the ripe old age of 28 I am not in any way mature enough to watch a movie with Justin in it… Read More

[Review] The Last Airbender

By Andrew Monkelban

Movie adaptions rarely live up to the epicness of their source material. The X-Men, Super Mario Bros., and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies are some examples of this, while the Lord of the Rings trilogy is something that has lived up to the source material. How does The Last Airbender fare — does it blow you away,… Read More

Movie Reviews of Movies I Haven’t Seen: Knight & Day

By Hawkes Klein

Oh dear Lord what is wrong with me? Seriously, there are the things going through my clearly deranged and misguided head like “oh my my isn’t Tom Cruise charming?” WTF? I keep seeing him in that denim shirt with that hair shaking in front of his eyes and I am MAGICALLY transported to my mom’s game room,… Read More

Iron Man 2: “You complete me!”

By Jiun Kwon

In Swingers, Mikey (played by Jon the Fav) talks about how the coolest bars in L.A. are the ones nobody can find.  And saying you’ve been to one is like bragging that you know how to find it.   Thursday midnight/Friday morning screenings in New York City are kind of the same thing.  They’re exclusive (limited seating).  You… Read More

A Positive Review of Alice in Wonderland

By Mike Wroblewski

In the era of remakes and remixes, it seems we all have something to say about original classics which undergo personally artistic make-overs. There tends to be a higher level of expectation for works of art, especially films, that are re-created and molded after their maiden form. This perception also bleeds into the criticism loyal fans disperse upon… Read More

Shutter Island

By Jiun Kwon

In the interest of full disclosure, I must confess that Martin Scorsese is the reason I worship at the altar of Cinema.  I find his manic love for film completely adorable and believe his finest works are timeless and uncompromising testaments to the integrity of American cinema.

Avatar: Kwon & Juan Review

By Jiun Kwon

Kwon: <Sigh>  Okay.  I understand why people were excited about this movie, although I was less excited than most.  And I get why people are impressed by it.  Though again…  I mean, fine.  Yay you, James Cameron, you built your own camera.  And your computer graphics team did some fantastic work.  Who doesn’t want… Read More

Movie Reviews of Movies I Haven’t Seen: Cop Out

By Hawkes Klein

Holy Mother of Jackie Chan, yes. I’m sort of angry at everyone I know that nobody took the time to alert me that this trailer was available. It wasn’t until this week when I turned the corner on my way to work  and saw the three story ad boasting “Rock Out with Your Glock Out”… Read More
