Movie & DVD Reviews

  • Contraband

    18 January 2012 / Recreation / On Screen

    Just when you think you've gone clean, it's a safe assumption in cinemaland that just around the corner there will be good reason to pull off one last dirty job. An American remake of 2008's Icelandic "Reykjavik-Rotterdam," still... More about Contraband

  • Interview: Olivia Wilde

    16 December 2011 / Recreation / On Screen

    GetFrank scored an interview with Olivia Wilde after wrap up of her latest film Cowboys & Aliens. Hi Olivia. Cowboys & Aliens required you to ride a horse, shoot a gun and be outdoors? Sounds like a fun. It was so much fun. As a kid you... More about Interview: Olivia Wilde

  • I Melt with You

    14 December 2011 / Recreation / On Screen

    Following a stint helming 2008's hopeful, thought-provoking character study "Henry Poole Is Here," director Mark Pellington returns to the pessimism of 1999's "Arlington Road" in "I Melt with You," a cold-blooded snort of near-hopeless... More about I Melt with You

  • Final Destination 5

    26 October 2011 / Recreation / On Screen

    Some actual, honest-to-goodness thought and care went into "Final Destination 5," a sentiment not often found when it comes to the fifth installment in any increasingly ridiculous slasher franchise. Steven Quale, having previously co-directed... More about Final Destination 5

  • The Change-Up

    12 October 2011 / Recreation / On Screen

    Even if "The Change-Up" cannot attest to being the best in a long line of time-honored body-swapping comedies, it certainly has the market cornered on filthiness. Directed by David Dobkin (2007's "Fred Claus"), the film barrels straight... More about The Change-Up

  • Alien Conspiracy

    22 August 2011 / Recreation / On Screen

    This week the sci-fi comedy Paul is being released onto Blu-ray and DVD. It was a six-year project from conception to the silver screen, with writer/actors Simon Pegg and Nick Frost even embodying their geeky sci-fi characters with a real RV... More about Alien Conspiracy

  • Green Lantern (2011)

    08 August 2011 / Recreation / On Screen

    The umpteenth comic book to be made into a splashy summer popcorn extravaganza (this one hailing from DC Comics), "Green Lantern" returns audiences yet again to Origin Story Central, where the fine details might be different but the plot... More about Green Lantern (2011)

  • Fast Five

    20 July 2011 / Recreation / On Screen

    Who could have guessed that when "The Fast and the Furious," an intermittently diverting piece of macho fluff, was released in 2001, there would be four sequels within ten years' time? All of the awkwardly-titled past films—including... More about Fast Five

  • Top 10 Man DVD's

    11 April 2011 / Recreation / On Screen

    Time to appreciate the best, cheers to Fatso.co.nz for compiling - agree/disagree let fire in the comments below. ROAD HOUSE Never underestimate Dalton (Patrick Swayze), a brawny bouncer and expert martial artist who also happens to hold an NYU... More about Top 10 Man DVD's

  • Red State

    30 March 2011 / Recreation / On Screen

    If "Red State" isn't necessarily Kevin Smith's best picture (for me, 1997's "Chasing Amy" still holds that title), it most certainly is his best-directed, signaling a vast leap forward for the filmmaker. It's... More about Red State
