  • ‘Cloud Atlas’ Leaves You in a Fog

    ‘Cloud Atlas’ Leaves You in a Fog

    This review is like getting six movies for the price of one. It’s nearly a three-hour mind-bender they may just leave you scratching your head. Six major plot lines taking place over 500 years — featuring the same actors playing multiple roles — is what you get with “Cloud Atlas.” All of the stories are crosscut together, jumping back and forth from one another across different time periods ranging from a 19th century South Pacific sea voyage to the distant [...]

    Frankenweenie is Frighteningly good

    It’s funny, adventurous, creepy, and even sentimental and with it being in black and white AND 3D, I think it’s going to be a hit. It’s part Frankentstein part Lassie but somehow director Tim Burton makes it work in this stop-motion animation simply called “Frankenweenie”. It’s the story of a young boy (Frankenstein) who uses all his talents to bring back his beloved dead dog. There are a lot of references to old horror movies all wrapped up in a [...]
