The Wedding Date Review

There's nothing entertaining at all to this; there's no redeeming qualities, so suck it up and prepare to be bored.

Are We There Yet? Review

Unfortunately, while there are a few laughs, "Are We There Yet?" has one too many gags that should have been edited from jump start.

Ray DVD Review

This passionate DVD is loaded with Behind the Scenes footage, Celebrity interviews, tour performance clips & a 2 page photo scrapbook/scene selector.

Alone in the Dark Review

Avoid this one at all costs, even if it's on TV and you have one channel. 

The Donnie McClurkin Story DVD Review

This passionate DVD is loaded with Behind the Scenes footage, Celebrity interviews, tour performance clips & a 2 page photo scrapbook/scene selector.

Mary J. Blige LA Concert DVD review

In this DVD you can find tons of extra's including a performance done in 70s style with bright colors and black images multiplying to many as Mary sings "Free" in video form.

 

Coach Carter

The performances by the cast are appealing enough that it overshadows the clichéd story.

 

Elektra

It's so poorly written and executed; I could spend an hour pointing out the gaping holes in the plot.

 

The Assassination of Richard Nixon

It's fascinating to see the subtle change from disaffected man to dangerous individual and
Sean Penn makes the transition look effortless.

 

In Good Company

Well written and entertaining, Quaid and Grace provide the perfect balance between drama and comedy.

 

Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events

Carrey is having a wonderful time playing all sorts of characters, but his ubiquitous presence takes away from the heart of the story, which is about the kids and their adventures.

 

The Woodsman

Thanks to good screenplay and a tight direction and superb performances from the cast, The Woodsman is a bold and nerve racking film that will leave you haunted at the end.

 

Catwoman (DVD Review)

While nothing has change on the DVD like a Director's Cut or something,  the DVD DOES OFFER SOMETHING WORTH NOTING.

 

Mary J. Blige (DVD Review)

This DVD is a must for any Mary J. Blige aficionado.

 

The Phantom of the Opera

Helmed by veteran director Joel Schumacher, the screen version is a lavish spectacle that's sure to thrill some and disappoint others, but it's good enough to be well worth the price of admission.

 

The Aviator

With DiCaprio as Hughes, Scorsese may finally walk on the podium and collect the golden statue. Not only is "The Aviator" is stunning and entertaining, but everyone in the cast from Leonardo on down is outstanding.

 

Million Dollar Baby

Believe me folks; this is no female version of "Rocky". It's much more than that, for Eastwood, Swank, and Morgan Freeman each give out a dose of great acting in this powerful and moving film.

 

Hotel Rwanda

"Hotel Rwanda" is one of the most powerful films to come out this year. Don Cheadle has always been a good actor but with this film, he has raised his own bar to excellence.

 

The Sea Inside

Amenabar does a phenomenal job as writer and director.  He puts himself alongside the great Spanish directors with his work on The Sea Inside.
