August 26, 2022Addison Wylie0 Comments

If you listen closely, you can hear the faint mouth-sounds of lightsaber beams.  It’s the sound of a Disney fan pretending they’re Obi-Wan Kenobi as they circle September 8 on their calendar – Disney+ Day.  Along with festivities taking place globally across Disney Parks, Disney+ subscribers will be given sneak peeks of upcoming projects as well as early perks.  Ranging from early access to blockbusters and newly released Disney productions, to re-released exclusives, to early…

Hercules

July 29, 2014Addison Wylie1 Comment

 By: Addison Wylie The legend of Hercules has been told time after time.  Heck, earlier this year, movie goers even received another Hercules film.  It didn’t do so hot (both with overall reception and with box office receipts), but maybe I’ll give it a watch down the road to wash away the dingy aftertaste Brett Ratner’s Hercules left behind. When a character as old as Hercules is dusted off and used to make another swords-and-sandels…

Gravity

November 7, 2013Addison Wylie0 Comments

By: Addison Wylie Your preconceived notions that Gravity will make your heart leap out of your chest and your stomach lurch are right on the money. The disorienting sci-fi separates the weak from the willing with its prolonged, wandering introduction to the team aboard the Explorer.  We see mission specialist Dr. Ryan Stone (played by Sandra Bullock) hard at work while astronaut/commander Matt Kowalski (played by George Clooney) supervises. The operation is going as planned…

The Wizard of Oz: An IMAX 3D Experience

September 24, 2013Addison Wylie0 Comments

By: Addison Wylie I’m divided on the latest re-release of The Wizard of Oz.  I’m not dramatically “on the fence”.  I would lean towards a hearty recommendation in an instant.  But, it has me feeling many different things. On one hand, I’m very grateful this film is getting another run in select theatres.  As someone who has never seen The Wizard of Oz (I know, I know…), I’m pleased myself and other newbies get a…

Jack the Giant Slayer

March 24, 2013Addison Wylie3 Comments

By: Addison Wylie Throughout Jack the Giant Slayer, our title character played by Nicholas Hoult has a look on his face that seems like it should be accompanied with the phrase, “are you #*@#ing kidding me?”. Surely, this is supposed to be aimed towards a giant beanstalk leading towards an army of grotesque giants that live in the sky, but it’s a more appropriate telling of what I was asking myself while watching Bryan Singer’s…

The Dark Knight Rises

December 1, 2012Addison Wylie1 Comment

By: Addison Wylie I had to pinch myself a few times during Christopher Nolan’s “epic” finale to his Batman saga entitled The Dark Knight Rises. I had to convince myself that not only was this well-crafted series coming to a close, but I also had to remind myself that I was sitting in a theatre watching one of the most disappointing and frustrating third chapters since The Matrix Revolutions. I’m going there, people. Strap in….

To The Arctic

April 20, 2012Addison Wylie0 Comments

By: Addison Wylie To The Arctic is another documentary that reminds us just how relentless heat is against Mother Nature. The film, to which showcases the habitats and lifestyles of arctic animals (primarily a polar bear family), has an abundance of sweeping establishing shots showing audiences how much more desolate the deepest part of the Northern hemisphere has become.A strong attribute of Greg MacGillivray’s documentary (also co-produced by his son, Shaun) is its ability to tell…
