Through the art of interviews, news footage, old photos and home movies we are brought to the reflection of a new age for Russia in the feature documentary My Perestroika. The eye opening of a huge powerful country in transition speaks loudly about capitalism, communism, socialism, politics and a proud people. Has the amazing change stood the test of time?
Ladies, we finally have a women’s version of The Hangover… just for us! Bridesmaids; it’s filled with laughs, entertainment and friendship. A great movie for a night out with the girls, this film will not disappoint for laughs.
Going into the film and from the previews I had the impression that Bridesmaids was going to be a female The Hangover. You know a group of women of many personalities including an oddball that carries much of the laughter and getting into trouble in Las Vegas. Well not the case at all.
Spike Lee with Terrell Suggs THE AMERICAN BLACK FILM FESTIVAL (ABFF) FOUNDER, JEFF FRIDAY, HAS ANNOUNCED THE RETURN OF THE PRO-HOLLYWOOD INITIATIVE
Looking for a shot a huge recognition in acting, Will Ferrell takes on a dramatic role in the film Everything Must Go. The deep seeded movie puts him in a setting far from his comical fame and he nails the character with aplomb. If you like drama that deals with personal problems, marriage difficulties or psychological hardships, then Everything Must Go has it all for you.
After watching this movie I came to the conclusion that one may not want to “jump the broom†anytime soon. Now don’t get me wrong here, the movie Jumping The Broom is great and I recommend you see it with a loved one. However, the drama of the quick union between the couple with such diverse families will give you second thoughts of saying “I do.â€
The quirky comedy Ceremony features a great cast under the direction of first timer Max Winkler. It’s Max’s entry into the world of controlling a set, actors and final production of a film. Having written the script for Ceremony helps him pull off a nice little comedy that entertains.
Slam the hammer Thor has opened in theaters and it’s a hard-hitting CGI adventure. Packed with action and electricity, the film makes this comic book hero a reality. With the anticipated The Avengers set for May 2012 however, this film’s more of an introduction of the character than a stand-alone hit.
The gripping story based on Saint Josemaria Escriva called There Be Dragons opens in theaters and it’s a must see for drama lovers. It’s a film of Saints and sinners, war and romance that puts its weight on the power to forgive. I liked the film for the knowledge of the period, the development of characters and direction by writer Roland Joffe.
This romance good girl bad girl story works well in Something Borrowed, but only a ‘chick’ would care. Like all chick flick films I review however, leaning toward how much fun it would be for the ladies adds up in my final grade. If you like your comedy with a lot of sugar and spice, then ladies this film should be desert for you.
