Things to Do on Halloween Weekend: See Movies

Goose
Welcome back folks to the Cinema Beat. This Halloween weekend, take a break from your trick-or-treating with the long anticipated This Is It, the compilation of footage of Michael Jackson before his sold out shows in London. This is the movie that everyone has been talking about since the tragic passing of Jackson [...]

Cinema Beat: Starting July Off with a Bang

Goose
So, after the fun of robots bashing each others’ heads in, we’re in for a treat this week. Christian Bale comes back to the summer screens, only this time in support and a fedora. Johnny Depp is the star of “Public Enemies,” a mobster flick about the life and times of John Dillinger, [...]

Cinema Beat

Goose
So we start off this edition of the Cinema Beat by giving a single nod of acknowledgment to this week’s big release, “Year One.” After the blitz they put on during the NBA Finals, if I see Michael Cera or Jack Black, I involuntarily twitch. Given that the movie has gotten poor reviews, [...]

By tying thousands of balloon to his home, septuagenarian Carl Fredricksen sets out to fulfill his lifelong dream to see the wilds of South America. Right after lifting off, [...]

Cinema Beat: Trying to Find Salvation

Our Cinema Beat will now take on a new format. Max and I will debate the big movie releases for the upcoming weekend. Here is our conversation…
Goose

Cinema Beat: Angels & Demons

Hey hey welcome to the Cinema Beat. Following “Wolverine” and “Star Trek” as number three on the summer blockbuster list, hitting theaters tomorrow is “Angels & Demons,” the followup to the widely panned “Da Vinci Code.” Tom Hanks’ hair made the news this week – apparently he cut it for this role, once again showing [...]
