Timecrimes relies on simply imagery, strong emotion, and a well thought-out plot to create a compelling story that you’ll enjoy wrapping your brain around.

Los Cronocrimenes (or Timecrimes) is a low budget suspense film centered around the concepts of paradox and time travel. That’s not exactly a new area for films to cover, yet Timecrimes finds a fresh take. Part suspense, part sci-fi, and all good, it’s a film you should be on the lookout for. The movie relies […]

Sunshine Cleaning, much like it’s lead actress, is quirky and pleasant to watch – even if it does get a bit hokey at times.

Sunshine Cleaning, much like it’s lead actress, is quirky and pleasant to watch – even if it does get a bit hokey at times. Hitting a mid-life crisis Rose (the always perky Amy Adams) spends her days cleaning homes of the wealthy and her nights in a cheap hotel room with her married high school […]

Alex Proyas and Nicolas Cage combine forces to give us one of the most bafflingly bad films in recent memory. Way to go!
{ Comments on this entry are closed }
Alex Proyas is responsible for the sci-fi noir thriller Dark City (a film which I love to no end). Nicolas Cage, despite having a career which I kindly refer to as spotty, has made some enjoyable flicks over the years, and even picked up an Oscar. The fact that this combination produced a movie such […]

Fanboys isn’t a bad film, but it’s not likely to work all that well outside the rabid Lucas fan base. I’m a pretty huge Star Wars nerd and I had a very mixed reaction.

I’m a self-admitted and unabashed fan of Star Wars and, as such, I really wanted to love Fanboys. Sigh. Sadly it felt like too many people screwed with this cute little project about Star Wars fans until the result was something jumbled and broken, which, is of course, what happened. The film follows the reunion […]

Contributor Alan Rapp offers this surprising list up for today. If you have your own idea for a Top 10 list, email eric@scene-stealers.com. It’s just an honor to be nominated… Is it really? You’ve heard that expression for years. Let’s face it, the Academy Awards snubs many a film when it posts its nominations. Almost […]

Two high school football studs go to cheerleading camp to score with as many cheerleaders as possible, only to learn lessons about life and love. Aw!

I come neither to praise nor bash Fired Up! Here’s the type of movie, in the right mood, I might be perfectly fine finding at 1:00am on Comedy Central. If you’re a fan of the straight-to-DVD American Pie films (like this one) you should feel right at home. The basic set-up for this male cheerleader […]

Clive Owen tries to stop a massive conspiracy of murder and money laundering by some evil bankers.

There’s much about The International that works, and almost as much that doesn’t. Still, for a mid-February release it’s much better than expected and one of the few films of the new year worth a look. Clive Owen stars as an Interpol agent obsessed with bringing down a bank which does shady dealings with both […]

It starts out with promise, but, as romcoms are prone to do, falls prey to contrivance and the inevitable happy ending which is cuter than a basket of kittens.

He’s Just Not That Into You starts out with some promise, but, as romcoms are prone to do, falls prey to contrivance and the inevitable happy ending which is cuter than a basket of newborn kittens. Adapted from a self-help book the film does take a (at least occasionally) funny look at how women regard […]
