B. Alan Orange's Reviews

“A quaint picture book that leaves all negative footage on the cutting room floor. It’s a nice historical document, but it never sinks below the surface for a true emotional account of the experience. ”


A moving scrapbook leading up to and going through the election process of our first black president, By the People is a backstage pass to the rock star that is Barack Obama. It gives opposers more reasons to hate him, and supporters more reasons to love him. Which really means that it isn’t point...

“What should have been an exploitive cash grab actually turns into a heartfelt tribute to an American talent lost (a little) too soon.”


The first thing that becomes apparent while watching Kenny Ortega’s THIS IS IT is that Michael Jackson was certainly primed for an amazing comeback. The King of Pop barely puts any energy into these routines as he rehearses for a 50 night sold out show in Europe. Many times after a song, the singe...

“Andrezej Krakowski has crafted a truly remarkable drama that serves as a high point for both Ben Gazzara and David Moscow’s careers. They make a lofty premise seem entirely plausible and human. ”


Movies about retired Oscar winners are hard to pull off. In this day and age, we’ve become too familiar with any given personality, and when they play a hyped-up version of themselves on-screen, it comes with a certain amount of disbelief and disconnect. We can always sense the true face hiding be...

“A cheesy look at romantic relationships as seen through the eyes of a bunch of complete losers. This is supposed to be based on fact, but I’ve never met such desperate creeps in my entire life. ”


The film is breezy and easy to watch. It has some funny moments. But there is a certain disconnect that comes from watching known celebrities cry about their horrible relationships.Ginnifer Goodwin plays such a sycophant stalker that its really, really hard to like the usually affa...

“A great cartoon for fans of both Marvel Comics and the X-Men theatrical films, as this seems very much like an extension of the various Marvel film franchises currently hitting our Cineplex screens.”


Its heavy on action. The producers keep good continuity with the films. And the animation is stunning, to say the least.Are these episodes in any order at all? I can't really tell, as the story seems to be all over the place. Why not just release the entire season at once instead o...

“The America’s Got Talent winner has a fun show that will appeal to the entire family. It’s definitely best viewed as a live experience drunk in Las Vegas while taking a break from gambling. But it translates pretty well to the small screen, too.”


This is the perfect present for Grandma this Christmas. Fator is amazing to watch, and his jokes are family friendly (though some skirt the edge of tastelessness). If you're into variety shows, this is one of the best out there right now.Some might find Fator's shtick a bit corny. ...

“A surprisingly taught thriller that will have you second-guessing each and every character all the way to the end. Its like Saw for the faint hearted. ”


Melissa George turns in a captivating performance. The locations might not be new, but they are utilized to creepy effect. And the plot actually earns its roller coaster-like twists and turns.Its garish. The concept of being tortured in an abandoned washroom has been run through th...

“Richard Harrah has crafted a sly little thriller that comes at you like a donkey kick in the kidneys. The Canyon is an intense, cautionary travelogue that offers up the best kind of nightmare scenario for any married couple. ”


The Canyon is a tricky little beast. At first glance, it looks like a cheap indie slasher flick on par with Turistas or the recent A Perfect Getaway. It sets its audience up for a grizzly, old fashion “killer in the Canyon” romp. But it’s not that at all. And I doubt, despite its much-coveted ...
