Latest Additions: |
- 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.
|
- Secret
Window (in Film)
- If you are going to see a film that's based off a Stephen King
novel, you better be prepared for something offbeat and spooky,
and that's what Johnny Depp brings to this latest adaptation,
Secret Window.
|
- Dawn
of the Dead (in Film)
- Snyder's remake is not an outstanding piece of work, but more
of a faithful one as he keeps the gore and chill effect as close
to the original.
|
- Bon
Voyage (in Film)
- Bon Voyage, the latest film from renowned French director Jean-Paul
Rappeneau, is remarkably clever in its goal to satirize France's
shameful surrender in World War Two. The story is complex and
takes a while to get going, but becomes very interesting when
the plot starts to develop.
|
- Starsky
and Hutch (in Film)
- Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson's comedic timing, as well as the
'70s look in the film and the casting of Snoop Dogg as Huggy Bear
makes the film a joy to watch.
|
- Spartan
(in Film)
- David Mamet's Spartan is a crisp, taut thriller, laden with
surprises and frenetic in its pace. It succeeds as a first-rate
thriller and that's hard to find these days in Hollywood.
|
- Agent
Cody Banks: Destination London (in Film)
- Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London is a wonderfully clean,
silly, depthless film for the 8 to 12 year old set.
|
- Hidalgo
(in Film)
- Hidalgo is an adventure tale for the whole family to enjoy,
filled with emotion and quality entertainment. I highly recommend
it.
|
- 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.
