Movie Review: The Bourne Legacy

The Bourne Legacy opened this weekend in theaters with a new lead, Jeremy Renner who's quickly becoming one of my favorite action stars with movies like The Avengers, Mission Impossible, and The Town under his belt.
Renner also sharpened his acting chops in Neo Ned, alongside Gabrielle Union, in which he plays a good character role to actually -well-  act. So The Bourne Legacy was a double edged sword of anticipation with a new installment in the Bourne series with Renner as the lead but boy was I disappointed.

Movie Review: The Campaign

It’s election season in the United States and what better way to preamble the start of the presidential race than with Will Ferrell’s new comedy, The Campaign!
Will Ferrell teamed up with Zach Galifianakis of “The Hangover” and “Due Date” fame as well as Jay Roach, director of Meet the Parents. It was interesting to learn that Jay Roach, director of other comedic movies such as the Austin Powers series, also directed politically themed movies such as Game Change (Sarah Palin’s run as VP with John McCain) and Recount (The 2004 Florida ballot controversy). With this potent combination of comedy and perspective I made sure to not turn off my brain while enjoying the movie.

Total Recall Review: A Walk Down Memory Lane

So the title of this review is pretty cliché and I can only imagine how many other movie critics will use similar phrasing to describe their Total Recall [2012] experience. For me, it is simple – as a fan of the original Total Recall [1990], I, like many children of the 80's counted down the days to see what the remake had to offer.
To say it was an edge of my seat thrill ride is an understatement and ultimately, I also feel that the non-stop action seemed to spell doom for this particular flick.
