Getaway' from the theaters
By Staff Writer | September 5After the opening scene of the new Courtney Solomon flick "Getaway," I couldn't help but ask myself: What was Ethan Hawke thinking? Did he even read the script? Was there a script? My hunch is by agreeing to do this, Hawke did someone a favor; maybe he owed some big-time gambling debt to Solomon, or perhaps Selena Gomez had some dirt on him.

Only God Forgives' proves to be brutal film with misunderstood meaning
By Staff Writer | August 15It wouldn't take people longer than 30 seconds to type Nicholas Winding Refn's newest film, "Only God Forgives," into their search browser, float their mouse over any one of the film reviews, double-click and see that just about every major film critic from The Huffington Post to The New York Times wrote the film to ribbons. Simply put, they hated it. All of them. One particularly insulting review put it among "the top five worst films of all time," another marked it as "pretentious macho nonsense" and one even went as far as to say that "it can't be saved from itself." The similarities from review to review raised a slew of questions in my mind.

Pacific Rim' blends good storytelling with blockbuster action
By Staff Writer | July 18Guillermo del Toro, the writer and director of surrealist/sci-fi films such as "Pan's Labyrinth," "Hellboy" and "The Devil's Backbone," gives the world a work that's one-part roller coaster and two-parts virtual simulation: "Pacific Rim." Released July 12, his team of pseudo-stars such as Charlie Hunnam ("Sons of Anarchy," "Children of Men"), Rinko Kikuchi ("Norwegian Wood," "The Brothers Bloom") Idris Elba ("The Wire"), and Ron Perlman ("Drive"), offers a monstrous heavyweight of a film weighing in at 131 minutes long which is as dynamic as it's entertaining.
The Bridge' mixes culture clash with murder for compelling TV
By Staff Writer | July 16FX sure picked the right time to premiere "The Bridge." After all, what better time is there to air a show set on the American-Mexican border than during Congress's ongoing debate about immigration reform? But "The Bridge" isn't a political series, at least not on the surface. Rather, it explores the differences between life in the United States and Mexico through murder. It's a unique concept that might just make for one of the most promising new programs of the summer.
