Indie Review: Caesar Must Die (2012)

Inmates at a high-security prison in Rome prepare for a public performance of Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar." I have to admit I haven't seen too many Shakespeare's plays in my day but even if I did, this would probably stand as the most unique of all of them. That's because it's set in Italy's Rebibbia Prison …

Weekend Viewing Roundup – OBLIVION Review

The weekend is coming to a close as I'm writing this, hope y'all had a nice one... especially in the weather department. It's really the kind of "Spring" that does NOT add an extra spring in your step, unless you want to slip on ice and fall over into a puddle :(I mean, just look …

Double Indie Film Reviews: Disconnect + Unfinished Song

This past week, I had the chance to watch a couple of indie films through MSPIFF and press screening. It would've been three films but the blizzard last Thursday kept me from going to the MUD screening. Yes it's such a bummer but really, in the grand scheme of things, especially compared to what's going …

Weekend Roundup: The Secret of Kells and Gladiator re-watch

The calendar says it's April. Spring? What Spring?? Hope it's much sunnier where you are as it's quite wet and gloomy here. In fact, looking at the 10-days forecast is quite depressing, full of rain/snow mix with temps barely making it out of 50 degrees! 😦 In any case, I didn't make it to the …

FlixChatter Review: G.I. Joe Retaliation

Well I believe I know why Paramount decided to delay the release of this film from last June to March of this year. Their excuse was that they wanted to add 3D effects to the film but rumors were all over the internet that they also wanted to beef up Channing Tatum's role. Those excuses …

Rental Pick: Red Cliff (2008)

Though I've just blogged about Asian auteurs recently, I figure I should watch one of the Chinese films I've been meaning to see in a while. Glad to see that John Woo's Red Cliff is on Netflix streaming. Despite not really being a fan of far films, I was quite engrossed in this film which centers …
