Truth

Directed By: James Vanderbilt

Starring: Robert Redford, Cate Blanchett, Topher Grace, Dennis Quaid, and Elisabeth Moss

As much as the right wing tries to put every single one of our nation's woes on President Obama (and his liberal media), everyone has to admit that his direct predecessor George W. Bush left the United States FUBAR. The Iraq War. Hurricane Katrina. Scooter Libby. The Great Recession. The list goes on and on. Yes, Bush 43 has plenty of failures. Even Republican presid...

At Any Price

Directed By: Ramin Bahrani

Starring: Zac Efron, Dennis Quaid, Heather Graham, Clancy Brown, Ben Marten, Kim Dickens, Chelcie Ross, Red West, Maika Monroe, and Sophie Curtis

Running a business is a tough endeavor, especially in a saturated market. I sure as hell know it. The competition is stiff. The customers are demanding. The regulations within the industry are nothing more than a setback. All in all, running a business is like survival of the fittest. You'll either expand or...

Playing For Keeps
SoberFilmChick

Directed by: Gabriele Muccino

Starring: Gerard Butler, Jessica Biel, Uma Thurman, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Judy Greer and Dennis Quaid

I have a confession—I have had a little crush on Gerard Butler since Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Cradle of Life. (Don’t judge me—for seeing Cradle of Life or liking Butler). In any event, after his star turn in the blockbuster 300, Butler has starred in a string of forgettable films, leaning towards the romantic comedy genre. ...

The Words
SoberFilmChick

Directed by: Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal
Starring: Bradley Cooper, Zoe Saldana, Dennis Quaid, Jeremy Irons, Olivia Wilde

When I was pregnant with my daughter, I read the best-selling book What to Expect When You’re Expecting and it really was a pregnancy “bible.” So I was excited to see what the film would do with the topic of pregnancy and preparing for ...

REVIEW: Footloose Let's Loose But Can't Find the Right Decade

Posted by James Brown on Sunday, October 16, 2011, In : 0.06% Beer or Wine

Footloose

Directed By: Craig Brewer

Starring: Kenny Wormald, Julianne Hough, Andie MacDowell, and Dennis Quaid

In X-Men: First Class, Kevin Bacon's character Sebastian Shaw has the ability to absorb energy and preserve his youth. If Bacon could use this mutant power in real life, I would certainly drink to that. We could have definitely used his talent in Footloose, this newly released remake of this 1984 hit. There's no doubt that Craig Brewer's remake of Footloose is fun and enjoyable, but ...
