I know what you’re saying, “Oh, look, Liam Neeson in another Taken, just with a different title.” Well, not so, good readers and movie fans. A Walk Among The Tombstones is a mystery crime drama based on a book of the same name by Lawrence Block. In fact, turns out there are many novels in…
A movie about an eccentric experimental/pop band whose leader is a guy that wears a big goofy plastic head ALL the time? And the trailers were pretty funny. Frank looked promising indeed. And with a cast like Michael Fassbender, Domhall Gleason and Maggie Gyllenhall, and Scoot McNairy, what could go wrong? Not a Hell of a…
It took long enough – about nine years – but finally Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez take us back to the pulp, noir, hard-boiled realm of Sin City. It’s a cool place to visit, but as it turns out, it’s not a place I want to live, and it seems the general movie-going audience feels…
A good-natured priest in an Irish town, Father James, played by the consistently wonderful Brendon Gleason, sits quietly while a voice in the confessional states that he will shoot and kill him on Sunday next. Father James will pay for another priests’ abuse because the perpetrator has long since died. And so begins Father James’ search…
Under The Skin is one of those films that just won’t be for everyone. The Art House crowd will likely find some beautiful cinematography, be fascinated by the unsettling and unique imagery, and not be put off by the sparse dialogue. The general movie-going masses will surely be somewhat confused or at least bored with…
I can honestly say that I have never been so emotionally affected by a CG animated character like I was by the apes in this film. This is surely the pinnacle of this kind of motion capture technology. I might even want to start a campaign to get Andy Serkis, who plays Caesar in this,…
I suppose that if you’re a regular reader of our site here at Comedy Film Nerds, you are fully aware, almost ad nauseam, of our opinion of Michael Bay and the atrocities he likes to call “films”. And honestly, this new sequel/reboot called Transformers: Age of Extinction is probably the most Michael Bay styled…
I had heard bout this film months ago and then it got delayed. That can be a really bad sign for a film, depending on the reason. From what I’ve read, the reason here had nothing to do with the quality of the film, but the comapny releasing it. Supposedly Harvey Weinstein wanted to cut…
I dig these little indie films in the summer. They are bright spot of film-making in the sea of Hollywood’s, in-your-face block-buster season. It’s good to not always be smashed in the face with explosions, or 80 % CGI something or other for a change. Good to have other options, that’s all I’m saying. And…
Edge of Tomorrow is probably the film that will finally help people forget how crazy Tom Cruise is and get them to go see his movies again. Ironically, (or not) Tom Cruise isn’t really the main reason why this movie is so good. We can thank the source material, a manga called “All You Need…
