    Review: Brightburn

    by Andrew Parker May 23, 2019
    by Andrew Parker May 23, 2019

    Although certainly not without its sinister charms, Brightburn is a forgettable blend of fantasy and horror, based on a premise that can be summed up in a single sentence and a film that follows woefully oblivious characters as they piece together something the audience can figure out mere seconds into the story.

    Review: ‘The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1’ starring Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson

    by W. Andrew Powell November 21, 2014
    by W. Andrew Powell November 21, 2014

    How much can a fan really expect from a film that is half of a novel’s story arc, and was made by the same director who brought us Constantine and I Am Legend?

    Film review: ‘The Hunger Games’ starring Jennifer Lawrence

    by W. Andrew Powell March 22, 2012
    by W. Andrew Powell March 22, 2012

    Considering the legion of fans who have been awaiting The Hunger Games movie, based on Suzanne Collins’ hit novel, there’s enough anticipation for this soon-to-be adored film that you could probably cut the tension with a (throwing) knife, but there’s lots of good news for fans. Better still, you don’t even need to be a teenager, or a fan, to enjoy this tense action-adventure.

    Film Friday: ‘Taken’ & ‘New in Town’

    by W. Andrew Powell January 30, 2009
    by W. Andrew Powell January 30, 2009

    Veteran actor and sometimes tough-guy Liam Neeson takes on a different role this week as a former military man leaping into a fight with European criminals who have abducted his daughter in the film, Taken. Also out this week, but far less praiseworthy, Renée Zellweger stars in the romantic comedy New in Town, while Elizabeth Banks plays a woman with evil intentions in The Uninvited.

    Kevin Smith talks ‘Zack & Miri’ in Toronto

    by W. Andrew Powell October 3, 2008
    by W. Andrew Powell October 3, 2008

    When I first learned that Kevin Smith was going to bring Zack and Miri Make a Porno to the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival, I knew I had to get an interview. Out of everyone coming to this year’s TIFF, Smith was at the top of my list. Not just because he made Clerks, but also because he’s a genuine, talented guy with a knack for realistic dialogue, and uncommon, original characters.
