What to Expect When You’re Expecting
The immense sum of six that shared the theater with me were probably expecting more… Is the issue of pregnancy a timeless theme, or has it become an unbearable cliché? Director Kirk Jones and company convey their thoughts on the matter within the first minute of the film, as the first scene unashamedly mocks the current generation of popular media with a Dancing with the Stars knock-off boasting an...

Dante’s Inferno: An Animated Epic
Repent… NOW. “Go to hell” may just relieve itself from your repertoire of comebacks after you watch this anime. Very loosely based on Dante Alighieri’s epic Inferno, this film, along with the video game released during the same year, functions to frighten and entertain the current generation while simultaneously bequeathing valuable life lessons. Redemption romances are a timeless cliché, and...

An Ordinary Family
Actually, yeah. This is a pretty typical family. One of the thematic lynchpins of cinema is the classic “family at odds” shtick. Whether its estranged siblings, kids with daddy issues or anything in between, these sorts of films resonate with audiences because of how relatable they are. The irony of An Ordinary Family is the fact that there really is no such thing: Everybody has issues, and people...

The Dictator
I never felt worse for laughing so hard. Fresh off his uncharacteristically straight-faced performance in Hugo, British chameleon Sasha Baron Cohen has returned to his roots in his newest film, The Dictator. While many remember him fondly for films such as Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (better known as simply Borat) and, to a lesser degree, his...

Modern Family (Season 1)
Maybe “Abnormal Family” would be a more appropriate title… Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Networks everywhere attempt to reinvent television every season. When vampires aren’t pulling their weight (which apparently is never the case these days) you bring in something more relatable. When sex and violence just don’t cut it… wait, that’s never the case either! Audiences...

Think of Me
Call your mother. She was never this bad. There are some movies out there that are just painful to watch. Think of Me delivers a character-driven story on par with watching a train wreck in slow motion. It stars Lauren Ambrose as protagonist (and I use the term loosely) Angela, a single mother trying desperately to keep her head above water as she struggles to make ends meet and raise her daughter Sunny...

Hide Away
Some things hidden are well worth seeking. Some aren’t. Introspective to a fault, Hide Away ties a wondrous knot of metaphors, some subtle and profound, some disappointing and obvious. Its alternate title, A Year in Mooring, captures better the transformative experience of its silent toil, whereas the former nods to that journey’s inciting event. As plot matters so little to this film, the revision...

Dark Shadows
Even vampires have family drama. Tim Burton has had a pretty busy year. With two other movies scheduled for release soon (Frankenweenie and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, which he produced), you may be wondering if Burton has let the quality of Dark Shadows fall victim to a busy workload. Sleep calmly: He hasn’t. Barnabas Collins (Johnny Depp), whose family struck it rich after starting up a...
