Written by Matthew F. Newlin   
Friday, 12 June 2009

film_pelham_sm.jpgThe most credit in the movie has to be given to John Travolta, who brings so many wonderful layers to his performance.

 

 
The Hangover (Warner Bros., R) Print E-mail
Written by Pete Timmermann   
Friday, 05 June 2009

film_up_sm.jpgThis is the first Pixar movie that features real, modern humans as its main characters, and you can tell the animators put a lot of work into making them not seem too cartoony.

 

 
The Girlfriend Experience (Magnolia Pictures, R) Print E-mail
Written by Pete Timmermann   
Friday, 22 May 2009

film_girlfriend.jpgWhile The Girlfriend Experience is a fairly experimental film and should be treated as such, it does have some insights into the life and character of a call girl.
