THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING “BULLY”

Posted on 20 April 2012

By WARREN DAY After a winter of disappointing films, “Bully” is a powerful reminder of a time when motion pictures sought to not only entertain, but to move people to action by showing injustice in a way that touched both our hearts and heads.

Posted on 05 April 2012

By WARREN DAY If you’ve ever wondered just how bad a big studio movie can be, then “The Wrath of the Titans” provides an excruciating answer: cringe-inducing dialogue, blurry and unimaginative special effects, actions sequences without wit or originality, characters you know little about and about whom you care even less, costumes from Wal-Mart, and [...]

2012 MOVIES WILL GET BETTER Or Why “John Carter” Came Out in March

Posted on 28 March 2012

By WARREN DAY As far as the major studios are concerned, there are three seasons in which they release films, and once you understand that you’ll know why theaters are currently showing such dreck as “This Means War,” “Journey 2,” “Project X,” and “A Thousand Words.” None of these was able to muster even 50 [...]

Posted on 10 February 2012

By WARREN DAY Just-released, “The Woman in Black” starring Daniel Radcliffe (none other than Harry Potter himself) is a throwback to an older form, a classic Victorian ghost story in the grand tradition, something that’s been missing from the screen for a long time.

2011: THE BIGGEST GAY YEAR IN MOVIES EVER?

Why is such a thing a mixed-blessing? It’s a rather common hiccup in the award season [...]
