I feel like I'm a kid again. Watching The A Team was a total kick! Anyone expecting anything more than plans coming together and a lot of fun can go see The Karate Kid remake instead. Great one liners, hilarious shout outs to the show, and tongue firmly in cheek make me want to join … Continue reading THE A-TEAM

The Critexts trio grieves collectively for our colleagues tossed away in the current upheaval. That's why I was so affected by this heartbreaking, emotionally intense story of how getting laid off blows one Japanese family to near ruin. In their non-showy way, the four leads of TOKYO SONATA -- Dad, Mom, and two sons -- … Continue reading TOKYO SONATA

If Tom Cruise plays one role really well, it's the action hero. And he's at his grinning, heroic best in KNIGHT AND DAY. The action hops all over the globe without much time for the audience to catch a breath. The plot is a little thin with the classic Maguffin everyone is searching for. The … Continue reading KNIGHT AND DAY

Can Pixar make a bad movie? Not yet, and the final TOY STORY is proof this may be the best studio in Hollywood. Tight script, deep characters and not a note missed in the whole movie. Yeah, it gets kind of weepy at the end but it's real emotion, not melodrama. Why does it take … Continue reading TOY STORY 3

TREME is tremendous. A fantastic look inside New Orleans after Katrina. But the perspective is people, not politics. It puts a human face on the problems the city faced. It's also a wonderful insight into the culture of a great American city, including dozens of cameos by musicians who call New Orleans home. Look for … Continue reading TREME

In the age of HMO coverage and a jacked up healthcare system, REPO MEN doesn't seem entirely far fetched. Despite a few eye rolling moments and the dreaded "love interest", Men delivers. Its a dark satire with some impressive action sequences and a fitting finale that stays true to the rest of the story. Comes … Continue reading REPO MEN

The "A" in THE A-TEAM doesn't stand for apathy. Nor does it stand for awesome. It should stand for average or "aaaaaaayyyyyyy!". All the necessary explosions and outrageous Hannibal Smith plans are there. But it's missing some of the glint in its eye, the knowing wink that the says "we know this is outrageous, but … Continue reading THE A-TEAM

Travolta goes full blown badass and turns From Paris With Love a blast. The one liners are as rapid fire as the action and the movie never slows down. A fun ride that is so much better than the trailers made it out to be. Parlez vous awesome? -- Stormy Curry

Yet another cable drama takes a series and goes somewhere with it the networks wouldn't dare. The season finale of Breaking Bad ends on such a gamechanging note that I cannot wait to see what season four brings. One of the most original television dramas in history. Do yourself some good and immerse yourself in … Continue reading BREAKING BAD, SEASON 3

The Wolfman is a howling good time! Curses, full moons, and cool transformations along with fun performances by Hopkins and Del Toro make this worthwhile. Not a critics movie. More of a popcorn flick. A round of a-claws...fangs for the good time. -- Stormy Curry
