Matchstick Men DVD Review (in Film)


Welcome to Mooseport (in Film)
While the film could have been a little funnier, it succeeds as a great vehicle for Ray Romano's foray unto the big screen.
Eurotrip (in Film)
The production team that made Old School and Road Trip outdo themselves in Eurotrip. I would go so far as to say this movie is funnier than both of those films combined.
50 First Dates (in Film)
Unbelievably, Adam Sandler's 50 First Dates is a great film. It has it all, humor, a clever concept, and amazingly, a beautiful romance that will leave audiences enchanted.
 
Barbershop 2 (in Film)
While the story gets a little hammy at times, the barbershop crew will keep you laughing from beginning to end.
 
The Dreamers (in Film)
NC-17, the rarest animal in pop cinema, is delivered like a freight train. The Dreamers is not to be missed.
 
You Got Served (in Film)
While the acting and the plot of the film isn't worth exploring, it's the dance scenes and the music that makes the film worth seeing.
 
The Big Bounce (in Film)
The Big Bounce tries to be a quirky comedy caper, in the same vein as Get Shorty and Jackie Brown.  Those movies succeeded grandly whereas this film crashes and burns.
 
The Perfect Score (in Film)
The Perfect Score is an entertaining film. The filmmakers took a test that unfairly decides the future of every kid and hammers it with a very humorous story.
 
Only the Strong DVD Review (in Film)
These so called "forgotten" artists of yesteryear will be forgotten no more.
 
Win a Date with Tad Hamilton (in Film)
Win a Date with Tad Hamilton is disarmingly good.  Teenage girls all over are going to get their money’s worth. 
 
Torque (in Film)
Torque is essentially an eighty-minute music video with ten minutes of preposterous video game CGI. 
 
Belly DVD Release (in Film)
The DVD that current hip-hops comes back with more flavor. 
 
My Baby's Daddy (in Film)
My Baby's Daddy is a very disappointing film. It had some genuinely funny moments, but is really not that funny or entertaining as a whole. 
 
HOUSE OF SAND AND FOG (in Film)
The film is a haunting, thought-provoking, dramatic film. It not only features the challenging issues of right and wrong, but the acting is top notch, especially the work given by Ben Kingsley.
COLD MOUNTAIN (in Film)
Cold Mountain is a good film, not a great film.  It's not the Oscar behemoth that they're hoping it will be, but I think audiences will generally be satisfied.
PAYCHECK (in Film)
John Woo is back in top form with his futuristic sci-fi thriller Paycheck.
Girl with a Pearl Earring (in Film)
Girl with a Pearl Earring is a masterpiece of production and subtlety.
The Last Samurai (in Film)
It's gripping, emotional, and laced with a splendid production design. Definitely one of the year's best films!
The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King (in Film)
They did save the best for last. Return of the King does an excellent job of delivering the journey part of the story, probably more than any film ever made.

Latest Additions:
 
James' Journey to Jerusalem (in Film)
It's an enjoyable film filled with a universal story and a commanding performance by its lead actor Siyabonga Melongisi Shibe.

Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights (in Film)
Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights is quite similar to the original film. The setting and time has changed, but the formula doesn't have that feel-good effect the second time around.

Lost Boys of Sudan (in Film)
Lost Boys of Sudan is a documentary that follows two Sudanese refugees, Peter Dut and Santino Chuor, on an extraordinary journey from Africa to America. What they think is going to be Heaven turns out to be the opposite. It's a powerful, moving film filled with compassion and hope.

In America (in Film)
In America accomplishes that rare feat of producing a haunting, dreaml ike narrative without sacrificing any of the elements that ground a film in realism.It’s one of the most emotionally engaging films I have ever seen.

Girlhood (in Indie)
Girlhood is an amazing, sobering but must-see look at the way many young people are now coming-of-age and poses the question of how this country can work to give them back the childhoods they deserve..

Shattered Glass (in Indie)
Shattered Glass is a superbly written movie. It's very entertaining, intriguing, and smart.
