In all likelihood, people are going to watch Gentlemen Broncos for one of two reasons: 1.) because it’s from the team that created and directed Napoleon Dynamite, a film that has garnered enough “indie” and word-of-mouth street cred for the husband-wife team to pull in an audience for another film or two (I could be [...]

So the awards season has officially come to a close, and ‘The Hurt Locker’ comes out on top with six awards in total, including Best Picture and Best Director. Honestly, the results were no surprise, we’ve heard nothing but Hurt Locker buzz for the past few weeks. Though my personal opinion holds that I feel [...]

Every year here at LonelyReviewer.com, we try to see how close we can get to predicting the Oscars. In years past, each of the bloggers have done their own list. This year, we decided we’d pick and feature one. Ben and I have always gone back and forth on whose picks are better, who gets [...]

Wine culture can seem particularly daunting to the uninitiated. The sipping, the swirling, the swishing, the spitting, all practices of an art that, for those who are used to pressing their lips to a glass for the sole purpose of having a drink for the sake of a drink, has a such an apparent [...]

So, ‘Avatar’ takes Best Director and Best Picture at the Golden Globes and the world splits into half.
Last night’s Golden Globes presentation was an excellent show, with host Ricky Gervais lampooning everything from Mel Gibon’s alcoholism, to the drama in the world of Late Night NBC. Overall though, I think it was a great night, [...]

So another year, another list. I had to think long and hard about my favorite movies of 2009, since I do feel like it was such a great year so full of great films. Though, I will admit, I missed on quite a few which I can’t include on my list.Some of the films I [...]

A new film from Lonely Reviewer friends Anna Bean and Gillian Robespierre has just debuted on-line and we wanted to let you know ’cause it’s really good.  It stars Jenny Slate. (You may have seen her debut last week on ‘Saturday Night Live.’)  It’s a touching comedy about abortion and relationships.  I know the phrase [...]

If you pass by South Station this weekend and notice there’s snow in the air, and you hear carolers singing holiday favorites don’t be too alarmed.  It’s just another attempt to excite audiences about a new Robert Zemeckis movie.

Abel Ferrara took on Jack Finney’s horror/sci-fi classic of aliens out to get the human race with 1993’s “Body Snatchers.”  While the story is effectively told and is a good tale, sadly it is inevitably compared to the two previous “Body Snatchers” movies which, for my money, are some of the best films of their [...]

We just announced that documentary ‘Second Skin,’ one of my favorite films from IFFBoston ‘08 was coming to DVD after a limited theatrical release. Those of you who want to see the film immediately, can check it out right now on Hulu.com! With limited commercial interruption of course!

It’s odd- I’ve been thinking about John Hughes’ death a lot more than I thought I would’ve.  Maybe it’s because he quit making movies on his terms, and for his own reasons that he didn’t feel like justifying to the world.  Maybe it’s because if you look at a montage of his movies, you quickly [...]
