Movie Review: Pompeii (2014)

Written by Anthony Sargon

Paul W. S. Anderson has made some pretty crappy movies. From the endless “Resident Evil” flicks to “Alien Vs. Predator” and “The Three Musketeers”, let’s just say he has yet to make something most people can enjoy. “Pompeii” is the closest Anderson gets to making a good movie, although things don’t get interesting until all the volcano stuff starts happening, but even then it becomes tedious and boring. But as Kit Harington’s (Game of Thrones) first lead role in a big budget “event” movie, I can confidently say that it could have been way worse.

She emerges Venus-like out of a mist of hairspray with tousled hair, a shimmering 50,000-euro Chanel jacket and a 1,000-watt smile.

Movie Review: In Secret (2014)

Written by Anthony Sargon

I wish “In Secret” came out in time for Valentine’s day. An adaptation of Emile Zola’s classic novel Thérèse Raquin, the film manages to overcome its flaws to be an entertaining and engaging period drama. It’s far from perfect, but it benefits from a really strong first half and some pretty solid performances.
