Be Kind Rewind

Posted by Dean in Independent Films on 21. Jul, 2008 | 9 Comments

Not even close to the movie I expected to see after viewing the trailers, Be Kind Rewind is a sweet, heartfelt movie about community and friendship. Sure there are some weird plot twists, like Jack Black’s character becoming “magnetized,” and you are required, on several occasions, to suspend disbelief. But this is Michel Gondry, so [...]

While less overtly pedantic, Margot is every bit as intelligent, witty and cruelly honest. Margot (Nicole Kidman) [...]

Forgetting Sarah Marshall

At first glance it seems like a film that has been done before “broken hearted flees to Hawaii” but once you get a few minutes into it you see it for what it really is, a FUNNY movie! It has Mila Kunis (Jackie from That 70’s Show, who lets face it we just don’t see [...]
