A Film Review By Stefan VlahovWhile I'm not the biggest fan of Asian cinema, I admit that Chan-Wook Park's revenge trilogy has been one that has consistently surprised and challenged me, while keeping things fun. The first film - 2002's Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance was a ballsy, no-holds-barred film that was not afraid to shock, … Continue reading Review: Lady Vengeance B+ →

A Film Review By Stefan VlahovI think Edward Norton just sky-rocketed to the top of my best actors ever list. Norton's career has consisted of many supporting roles, in which he simply didn't stand-out, but every rare time Norton has been given the main role in a film, he has blown people away. Whether it's … Continue reading Review: Down in the Valley B+ →

A Film Review By Stefan VlahovSo Ron Howard and Akiva Goldsman must be expert code breakers by now right? First there was the heartfelt story of mathematical genius John Nash - A Beautiful Mind - which involved a lot of letters and numbers that sent secret messages when you look at them. In the film … Continue reading Review: The DaVinci Code B →

A Film Review By Stefan VlahovIt's amazing how endless the stream of family films with good messages seems, and it's amazing how many of them are only good enough to be called generic. It almost pains me to give these films negative reviews, because in essence there is nothing negative about them. Still, it is … Continue reading Review: Saving Shiloh B- →

A Film Review By Stefan VlahovI'll be the first to admit that I'm not a big fan of the HBO TV series "Entourage". From the few episodes that I have seen though, the stand-out has always been Jeremy Piven's character Ari Gold. He is consistently involving and funny, which definitely contrasts the mediocre performances by … Continue reading Review: Keeping Up With the Steins B →

A Film Review By Stefan VlahovIf you look closely at the title of director Danny Cannon's inspired sports drama, you will notice that the dream is only beginning with this film. That is because Disney is hoping to release two more films involving the same characters, with scripts just waiting to be greenlit. Disney's hope … Continue reading Review: Goal! The Dream Begins B- →

A Film Review By Stefan VlahovFor those who have forgotten how fun, entrancing, and entertaining film-noir is, please see Brick. Director/Writer Rian Johnson's attempt at combining cinema's oldest genre with a High School drama is risky, but Johnson is successful at every turn. He has created one of the most technically sound pictures of the … Continue reading Quick Review: Brick A- →

A Film Review By Stefan VlahovUnder a lesser director than Wolfgang Petersen this would have turned into a boring, shallow, and too composed motion picture. The lesser director I'm referring to is Roland Emmerich. While he demonstrated promise with his 1998 Americanization of Japanese culture by the name of Godzilla, but his next two films … Continue reading Review: Poseidon B →

A Film Review By Stefan VlahovWhat's worse than a cliched sports comedy? One that includes unnecessary gross-out scenes to add an edge to it's all too predictable screenplay? Yes, that's right! And that is exactly what this film is. The film stars Rob Schneider, David Spade, and Jon Heder (a hellish combination of actors if … Continue reading Quick Review: The Benchwarmers C →

A Film Review By Stefan VlahovLindsay Lohan's recent image-change from a extremely hot and always similing redhead (which she almost retains here) to a not so hot, very depressed, too thin, brunette has really made her an unlikeable person in my eyes. I'm still rooting for her to go back to the fun to watch … Continue reading Review: Just My Luck C →
