Hello all – my name’s Lee and I am a native of New York City. For many years the art of film has intrigued me in every way, shape or form until I could no longer suppress my desire to work within it at any capacity and made my move. Jumping from one place to another, I discovered writing, love it unconscionably and here I am!

Review: ‘Fast & Furious 6’ Redefines Action In More Ways Than One!

May 23rd, 2013 7:35am EDT
Fast & Furious 6
 

Bigger on every scale you can imagine, “Fast & Furious 6” redefines action in every way, shape, and form – continuing its pedigree as one of the last true, high-octane, action series left in Hollywood.

The movie opens up with a hip-hop beat played to clips piecing together previous entries in the series, while Dom (Vin Diesel) and Brian (Paul Walker) zoom at high speeds through winding mountain passes. The beat and the sense of speed and adrenaline remind us immediately why we keep coming back to this beloved franchise.

“Fast & Furious 6” accelerates the story to the aftermath of Dom...

Review: 'Aftershock' Provides Pretty Strong Tremors

May 10th, 2013 4:22pm EDT
Aftershock
With the utmost intense in terms of thrills and horror at the hands of Earth’s wrath, “Aftershock” has to be the best in-your-face flick of unexpected twists, turns, and waves of humanistic vulnerabilities.

“Aftershock” begins as a typical party flick – you know: dudes, broads, drinks, laughs, etc. The kick here is the setting takes place in one of our world’s most beautiful locations – Chile, South America!

Eli Roth stars as Gringo, a single dad overcoming single dad issues. Vacationing as he tries to seek out a good time, he’s also kicking it with two of his boys – Ariel (Ariel Levy) an...

Review: Although Not A Typical, Classic Mob-Movie...‘The Iceman’ Instills Fear!

May 4th, 2013 7:26pm EDT
The Iceman
“The Iceman” proves itself to be a worthy contender in the category of modern day thrillers, especially with its artistic flair. Many thrillers try to be a little too smooth in terms of story-telling, editing, and even cinematography, so it comes off too artificial. “The Iceman,” however, feels like there was lots of hard work put into it, and through that felt a lot more humanistic. Ariel Vromen successfully takes you back to a few decades ago with ease, not just because of the film’s style, aura, and overall purpose – but for reasons of being able to strike a match upon a character (mafia...

Review: 'Iron Man 3' - Third Time's A Charm?

May 4th, 2013 7:48am EDT
Iron Man 3
Third time’s a charm is what they say, right? Well, as much as most of us may buy into the ever-so-famous phrase, the “Iron Man” franchise, I personally believe, will live strongest among its first piece of exposure. Not to say the franchise’s third installment was “bad,” because it really wasn’t. Shane Black's (writer/director) take of the franchise will make its mark among Marvel movies and will make both Marvel and Disney financially happy - but it didn’t really push for anything to be considered legendary as the world of comic-book movies move along its own bubble and/or universe.

Review: 'Pain And Gain' Is Insanely Dumb, But Outrageously Entertaining!

April 27th, 2013 8:00am EDT
Pain and Gain
Do you believe in redemption? Well, I do. Michael Bay is back, and this time embracing something that fits his style a bit more than what we’ve been seeing the past few years.

This time around, Bay tackled a project that entails one of our country’s most bizarre true-life tales pertaining to a triangle-of-stupidity among those who may very well be America’s dumbest criminals! 

“Pain & Gain” exposes a story about a trio known as the “Sun Gym Gang.” A ruthless group of notoriously roided, gym-rats who performed a couple of kidnappings during the mid 90s; aiming to forcefully take riches for...

Review: '42' Swings For The Bleachers!

April 13th, 2013 8:00am EDT
42
Hero is a word thrown around quite a bit in the world of sports. However, heroism isn’t always about obtaining play-based successes in the ring, or on the field...it’s about breaking barriers.

 “42” embarks on the story of two men – the legendary Jackie Robinson and the great Brooklyn Dodgers GM Branch Rickey – whose bravery to oppose prejudices changed the world of baseball as we know it.

In 1946, Branch Rickey (Harrison Ford) placed himself on an unusual spotlight when he signed Jackie Robinson (Chad Roseman) to the Brooklyn Dodgers, breaking racial ice among MLB’s color-based divide....

Review: 'The Place Beyond The Pines' Provides Lots To Endure

March 28th, 2013 10:21am EDT
The Place Beyond the Pines
Following director Derek Cianfrance's harsh portrayal of love in "Blue Valentine," this film, "The Place Beyond The Pines," starts off like what seems to be a crime drama. The film however shifts into a dark tale on relationships between fathers and sons and the horrible legacies left behind.

The film is divided into three short-film-like-acts. Act one follows carnival stunt rider Luke (Ryan Gosling), who is visited after a show in Schenectady, NY by Romina (Eva Mendes); with whom he had a fling with the last time his carnival passed through the city.

A spark reignites but she rejects ...

'Olympus Has Fallen' Is Overkill At Its Best - And Lots Of Fun (Review)

March 23rd, 2013 7:35am EDT
Olympus Has Fallen
Despite its plot-holes, continuity issues, and a color-by-number layout…this White House version of "Die Hard" is brutally intense and barbarically awesome!

Not much can be said other than there's more to President Asher's (Aaron Eckhart) issues than the usual flimflam between Republicans and Democrats. In what seems to be one of the year's most entertaining thrillers, "Olympus Has Fallen" raises the stakes when the nation's most protected structure is infiltrated by North Korean terrorists (aided by an American traitor) with an agenda to bring America down to her knees - and for quite som...

Review: 'The Incredible Burt Wonderstone' Has Little In Its Bag Of Tricks

March 16th, 2013 7:35am EDT
The Incredible Burt Wonderstone
Comedic, magical powers courtesy of Jim Carrey and Steve Carell is what levitates this dragnet, weak-written piece.

Superstar magicians Burt Wonderstone (Steve Carell) and Anton Marvelton (Steve Buscemi) have ruled the Vegas Strip for years, pumping in millions with illusions as big as Burt’s ego. But as of late the duo’s greatest deception is their public friendship, while secretly having grown to hate each other. Facing cutthroat competition from hard-core street magician Steve Gray (Jim Carrey), their show is starting to look old, weak and completely done! Confronted with challenges eve...

Review: 'Oz The Great And Powerful' Is A Visual Wonder, But Has Its Flaws

March 9th, 2013 7:22am EST
Oz The Great And Powerful
Sam Raimi’s re-creation of L Frank Baum’s “Oz The Great And Powerful” has its high highs and a bit of low lows, but it doesn’t reap one’s benefit of opening up our minds, bodies, and souls to a prequel linked to one of the world’s most beloved narratives ever!

The story follows Oscar Diggs (James Franco) – known as Oz – as a typical man just going through his own flow as a circus magician dropping jaws wherever he goes. There’s a catch to this guy though, as great and vibrant as he may be, there’s a side to this guy that’s just sleazy, in a con-artistic way, sprinkled with a little womaniz...
