Latest Review Additions:
  
Bruce Almighty (in Film)
The production team that made Liar Liar a few years ago with the “What if” concept have come up with a similar theme to the God complex. Jim Carrey, who starred in Liar Liar, gets to play God in Bruce Almighty, a pleasurable film that that loses some steam down the stretch but is ultimately fun for a period of time.

The Matrix Reloaded (in Film)
The Matrix Reloaded is packed with more action scenes, more characters, and definitely more intrigue as one will leave the theater confused as hell still trying out what they just saw after being mesmerized by the film.

Down with Love (in Film)
During the 1960s, Doris Day and Rock Hudson were the best of friends on and off the set. Together, they made a couple of films that were funny and whimsical. In a throwback to the era, Director Peyton Reed has crafted a fanciful yet different film in Down With Love, a fluff film that sparkles despite its main leads having no chemistry.

Daddy Day Care (in Film)
Daddy Day Care is a very funny film that will cater to all families. Predictable from start to finish, the film has a fine execution.

Only the Strong Survive (in Indie)
Only the Strong Survive is a documentary film that should be watched by all to remember the times when soul singers where at their prime before the evolution of rock and roll began and their music was no longer at the forefront in the industry.

X2 (X-Men United) (in Film)
X2 (X-Men United) is here with a better story, more characters, fantastic action scenes, a pulsating score, and enough material that will have you salivating for a continuation in the blockbuster franchise.
