An Education Review: Higher Learning

High school. During the experience it is boring, long, and pretty useless. You’d much rather be out living, getting into trouble, finding out what life is really about. Afterward, for most, it is a time of nostalgia, the value of which one doesn’t really grasp until years later. What is truly more important: learning through experience, falling flat and getting back up again, the oscillations of life, or an academic education? That is the question which Danish film maker Lone Scherfig asks with her new picture, “An Education.” The answer she puts forth is neither exciting nor revolutionary, and while the film’s star is a veritable shining light the overall picture is a bit dim.

District 9 Review: Another Prawn In Their Game

Gas and dust flows together ever tightening to condense into heat and extreme mass. A star is born. That’s how it felt watching Neill Blomkamp’s invigorating debut feature, “District 9.” A sci-fi actioneer that concentrates more on character and tone than it does on plot this film is a zenith of the genre – smart, fun, fast paced, and thought-provoking.

Paper Heart is a refreshing indie love story. The film stars Charlyne Yi, Michael Cera, and Jake Johnson in a quest to help Charlyne document how and why people fall in love.

It Might Get Loud Review: The Power of Creation

For more than the last five decades the electric guitar has been a hallmark of individuality among youth. Most times their exuberance to create, to express their caged angst, pours through the cords and out the amps in blaring, explosive cacophonies. However once in a while that impulse is funneled through the hormones and comes out the other side talent, sometimes that drive manifests as true genius. Before it was improbable, but after watching Davis Guggenheim’s engaging and sonically amazing new documentary, “It Might Get Loud,” it is impossible to deny that the three subjects (Jimmy Page, The Edge, and Jack White) are just that – genius.

GI Joe: The Line Between Stupid and Genius is So Thin

Like every kid, back in the 80’s I had all of them. From Destro to Jinx, Cobra Commander to Sgt Slaughter. I had a hovercraft, a base, and many HISS Tanks, though never the Holy Grail of an aircraft carrier. With the amazing kung-fu grips and life like weapons I could have shocked and awed many a miniature plastic republics. Every afternoon I watched the cartoon sometimes with the figurines as welcome co-viewers. Plastic and cartoonish is how I remember that world, and now with Steven Sommers’ new film “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra” my attitude hasn’t changed. This clunky two hours is painfully unsubtle, sophomoric, sanitized, and against all of my better judgments, pretty fun.

Funny People Review: Is Lonely the New Funny

Few films delve into the strange world of stand-up comedy. It is a tightly knit group of witty, damaged emotion machines that claw away at each other just for one more laugh like addicts needing a fix… but in a funny way. It is an art form that is often overlooked, and rarely examined. The examination is what makes Judd Apatow’s hilarious, but uneven “Funny People” worth the overlong running time, though its often serious tone might be a turn off for those expecting Apatow’s third film to be more like his first two.
