Movies like “Mr. Popper’s Penguins” aren’t necessarily made for critics, who are frequently presumed to have it in for live-action family films, with their primary colors and jokey, obvious set-ups for the lowest common denominator. And director Mark Waters’ film, starring Jim Carrey as a realtor who inherits a half dozen penguins and finds his swank New York penthouse apartment turned into a raucous, chilly wonderland, is certainly not a subtle thing. But it is sweet, and has a heart, and it also benefits in comparison to many movies of its ilk by the use of actual real, live animals rather than talking critters or overly slick CGI creations. Based on the…

Title: I Melt With You Directed By: Mark Pellington Starring: Thomas Jane, Jeremy Piven, Rob Lowe, Christian McKay, Carla Gugino, Arielle Kebbel, Tom Bower In an industry overflowing with content, it’s getting tougher and tougher to come up with something new. The fallback? The shock factor – writers and directors giving you something, letting you get comfortable with it and then pulling out the rug from under you. Sure, if this technique works, it could blow your mind, but, in the case of I Melt With You, it merely turns your mind into senseless mush. You know that old “this is your brain on drugs” commercial with the egg? Change…

Title: The Mighty Macs Director: Tim Chambers Starring: Carla Gugino, Ellen Burstyn, Marley Shelton, David Boreanaz, Katie Hayak There is a very simple game plan when depicting a sports-drama and very few films will deviate from that said game plan. And the same goes for The Mighty Macs; a true story that gives a glimpse into the meteoric rise of basketball Hall-of-Famer Cathy Rush. Cathy Rush (Carla Gugino) spent most of her days being the prototypical housewife in her marriage to NBA referee Ed Rush (David Boreanaz). Wanting to break away from the monotony of daily chores, she applies for the head coaching gig at Immaculata – an all catholic…

Did Real Steel stir a desire for more inspirational sports movies? Well, you’re in luck because The Mighty Macs is due out in theaters on October 21st and while it’s certainly lacking in the futuristic boxing robot department, it’s got quite the asset to fill the void – a true story. Based on Immaculata University’s 1971 women’s basketball team, The Mighty Macs features Carla Gugino as the team’s coach, Cathy Rush. While her husband, Ed (David Boreanaz), keeps busy with his NBA refereeing gig, Cathy decides to make use of her time by coaching Immaculata’s failing basketball team. Without a gym, uniforms and funding, Cathy certainly has her work cut…

Title: Sucker Punch Directed By: Zack Snyder Starring: Emily Browning, Abbie Cornish, Jena Malone, Vanessa Hudgens, Jamie Chung, Carla Gugino, Oscar Isaac, Jon Hamm, Scott Glenn High expectations can be a killer. Unfortunately for director Zack Snyder, he works extra hard to insert an insanely high outlook into every single thing that he does and lately, it seems to backfire big time. His brain is geared towards directing and visuals and that doesn’t serve him well as a writer. Whereas the basic concept of Sucker Punch combined with Snyder’s keen eye for the visually incredible had immense prospects, it diluted the script. Spectacular imagery without a sensible and engaging story…
