This Summer It's All About Sticking Together.

Filmmaker(s): J.B. Rogers

After a year apart - attending different schools, meeting different people - the guys rent a beach house and vow to make this the best summer ever. As it turns out, whether that will happen or not has a lot to do with the girls. Between the wild parties, outrageous revelations and yes, a trip to band camp, they discover that times change and people change, but in the end, it's all about sticking together.

A Little Humour I was surprised at finding something clever. Yes, most of this is a stroll through a museum of obsolete 7th grade hummer. This is so tame and lame that it blends into the background like so much graffiti. The “nudity” is goofy. But...

Lucy in the Sky critics hated it. The public stayed home. But I liked this. A lot. It is cinematic. Powerful cinema. And I am telling you I liked this with a bit of surprise on my part. That's because it has two actors who often...

Wittgenstein’s Gaudi Chapel the world relaxed and enjoyed itself between wars. When art was a solitary and experimental endeavour. When Europeans rediscovered the power of nature in sex and in some cases the other way around. When lives really could be deep, and debauched and...

Blockage it is just the man. It is not a new thing that movies promote personality and that certain personalities find their time. One type is the everyman. James Stewart was of this variety. Not a great man or suave. Not a lover or hero. Bruce Willis mines...

Mad Maximum Motion can parse this into three bits I think. The first is what people normally see, the story. Miller and many of the Oz New Wave don’t pay much attention to this. They put something there of course, otherwise we would get distracted. Here...
