Latest Review Additions: |
-
Man on Fire (in Film)
- Man on Fire is a film that will own you utterly as you watch
it. Denzel Washington delivers a revenge film of raw feeling and
ferocity. He goes to the darkest, most nuanced place of his career
and it is more hardcore than this reviewer could have ever imagined.
|
-
The Agronomist (in Film)
- The Agronomist is Jonathon Demme’s love poem to Dominique
and call to arms about his struggle. Everyone in the world
should sit and watch this movie. Its themes are universal.
|
-
Kill Bill Vol. 2 (in Film)
- Superbly written and acted, Kill Bill Vol.2 outpaces its predecessor
by a satisfying margin.
|
-
Connie and Carla (in Film)
- Nia Vardalos and Toni Collette are good together, but the film
needed a better script to showcase their acting talent. The film
starts off with a cute premise, then quickly falls into political
correctness and silly drag queen humor.
|
-
The Punisher (in Film)
- The Punisher is an ill-fated attempt of bringing substance to
a clichéd genre. There’s a lack of dialogue, a lack
of violence, and a total waste of performances by the cast.
|
-
The Girl Next Door (in Film)
- The Girl Next Door succeeds admirably as the best teen comedy
since American Pie. The film could be the launching pad of fame
for its young stars.
|
-
The Alamo (in Film)
- The Alamo is not nearly the disaster it has been made out to
be. Having read quite a bit about the story of The Alamo,
the latest Hollywood version is the most accurate to date.
|
-
Johnson Family Vacation (in Film)
- After seeing how well they worked together on television with
“The Steve Harvey Show” and then on the big screen
with “The Kings of Comedy”, it’s disappointing
to see Steve Harvey and Cedric the Entertainer together again
in the unfunny film “Johnson Family Vacation”.
|
-
Hellboy (in Film)
- Pulse pounding with some comedic flair, Hellboy is action adventure
flick that's entertaining for newcomers to the comic book genre.
|
-
Walking Tall (in Film)
- Walking Tall is most the simplistic pulse pounding action film
so far this year. Just when you thought the one-man action genre
films died with Stallone and Arnold, The Rock proves that he can
bring it back with some intelligence and finesse.
|
-
Home on the Range (in Film)
- Home on the Range is a fine film that proves hand drawn animation
still has a place in the cinema. It's a wonderful children's movie
and deserves a place among Disney's best.
|
- The
United States of Leland (in Film)
- The flaw is really in the filmmaking. This is the first feature
film from writer/director Matt Hoge. The guy has passion, it's
evident on screen, but the film needed some fine-tuning to shore
up the story and the pace.
|
- The
Prince and Me (in Film)
- The problem is that the movie offers nothing more than rote
predictability. From the opening credits to the closing credits,
the movie plays it safe. It's meant for the teenage girl audience
and the filmmakers make sure there's never a worry about plot
or substance.
|
- Jersey
Girl (in Film)
- No one will ever accuse Ben Affleck of not being a sensitive
guy after seeing Jersey Girl. Itworks best as a date film. It
will illicit tears, a few chuckles, and not much else.
|
- Scooby
Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (in Film)
- This will probably be the first in an avalanche of sequels,
but the film is actually entertaining and an improvement on the
original. It's a children's movie from start to finish, but succeeds
in dropping some very adult themes over the heads of younger viewers.
|
- The
Lady Killers (in Film)
- Ethan and Joel Coen have made a career of directing and writing
interesting, quirky films with memorable characters, but their
latest effort, The Ladykillers, is lacking considerably in all
of these categories. It drags out a story that could have easily
been resolved in less time.
|
- Never
Die Alone (in Film)
- In order for anyone to appreciate this film, you have to know
that the film is an adaptation of a book by Novelist Donald Goines.
In this case, NEVER DIE ALONE, is a very well adapted story for
which DMX excels in a role he could do blinded.
