Movies such as Star Wars directed by George Lucas have long imagined a future with plasma rocket technology and years later, scientists began to develop them. Flip phones were dreamed of by Star Trek creator Gene Rodenberry and were introduced decades later as the “Motorola flip” phone. Today MGroup announced the arrival of The 9th […]
Reel Rock this year was the first time I didn’t absolutely adore it. Every other year has been amazing for me. But this one felt flat. Then I looked at the image above from Yeah Buddy and I remember that it was really inspiring and fun. Hazel acting as mentor has my heart completely, with
It is not only interesting but a historical review of how Shaka: A Story of Aloha illustrates the spirit of Hawaii. This feature has six origin stories and countless meanings (hang loose being one of them during the 70s). But instead of picking one to credit, they decided that everyone should be recognized. To put
Being an Arsenal fan myself, it seems almost traitorous to watch this documentary. However, I do love a good documentary on any subject, football ones especially. Arsenal have had some great documentaries made about them too, from 89 to ‘Invincible’ to Rocky and Wrighty: From Brockley to the Big Time, I’ve seen and loved many

The director, who also produced and edited the nonfiction movie, leaves the camera running and lets people talk from all sides of the fights that happened in America
Sometimes, I find it strange that people think things are acceptable just because they are animated. Like in Leap, a new animated family movie about an aspiring ballerina that spends part of its third act following a crazy lady who tries to kill two orphan kids. Yes, I get it they’re animated. But the decision
Earlier within the week, a group managed by the French National Cinema Centre chose Untouchable as being that country’s 2013 Oscar foreign language entry. It’s just corny enough to win. This comic drama made by Olivier Nakache and Éric Toledano has a premise not dissimilar from The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, also based on
Not everyone prepares for a vacation with their spouse by buying a hammer, a hacksaw, duct tape and rope however Lars (Aksel Hennie) is not like most people, and “The Trip,” directed by Tommy Wirkola, is not like most movies. It starts out like this: Lars has planned to kill his wife, Lisa (Noomi Rapace),
For the first time in my life, I can’t do justice to “The Road to Ruane” without talking about where I saw the movie. This year’s IFFBoston centerpiece selection premiered at the Somerville Theatre’s massive main hall, and it was packed to the gills; there was a long standby line outside. That is odd for
