Movie review: Looper

Written on 3 Oct, 2012 in Discovered, Featured | 2 comments

Movie review: The Artist, silence is golden

Written on 28 Feb, 2012 in Discovered, Featured | 2 comments

By Miranda Foresman Ever the skeptic, I questioned the critical hullabaloo when I heard about The Artist and all of its splendor. This weekend, courtesy of the Fair Oaks Theater in Arroyo Grande, I became a believer. The novelty of... (Continue reading)

Movie review: Safe House

Written on 20 Feb, 2012 in Discovered, Featured | No comments

By MIRANDA FORESMAN Denzel Washington could make a banana perform as if it were Carmen Miranda in the flesh. He just brings out the best in his costars that way. In his latest release, Safe House, he even manages to... (Continue reading)

Movie Review: Crazy, Stupid, Love

Written on 23 Aug, 2011 in Discovered, Featured | No comments

By MIRANDA FORESMAN Hearing the words “romantic comedy” is any guy’s worst nightmare, second date or twentieth year of marriage. “Rom-com” equates to pain and suffering through shmoopiness and star-crossed drivel. But every now and again a romantic comedy comes... (Continue reading)

Movie Review: Cowboys & Aliens

Written on 10 Aug, 2011 in Discovered, Featured | 11 comments

By MIRANDA FORESMAN This year’s summer movies are made of comic books, big names, and huge budgets. Cowboys & Aliens has the proper ingredients, but, alas, the end result feels way over-baked. Inspired by a graphic novel, Cowboys & Aliens... (Continue reading)

By MIRANDA FORESMAN Leave the kids at home. Have a responsible glass of wine or bottle of beer. Go to the cinema, get good seats, and see the most depraved good time you can have in a movie theater this... (Continue reading)
