Reviews

Latest Review Additions:
  
My Blueberry Nights(in Film)

The film was not a vehicle for its impressive veteran cast to showcase their talent. The characters were poorly developed and felt one dimensional.

 

Leatherheads(in Film)

Half slapstick, half romantic romp, the picture is at its best when indulging in witty repartee between Clooney and Renee Zellweger.

 

Sex and Death 101(in Film)

A kinky dramedy that is every bit as eerily chilling as it is irreverently funny

 

Flight of the Red Balloon(in Film)

A slight, surreal cinematic experiment apt to enthrall the more discerning theatergoer, while leaving the mundane masses scratching their heads and asking, “Is that it?”

 

 

Skid Row (in Film)

An eye-opening documentary which paints a good picture of what life is like for today’s hobos.

 

Stop Loss (in Film)

Well-scripted and convincingly executed, this raw, super-realistic thriller is made all the more riveting by the sense you get that very similar scenarios are likely currently unfolding all across America

 

Run, Fatboy, Run (in Film)

Run, Fatboy, Run is well enough crafted to keep you in stitches while on the edge of your seat for the duration, even if this laff-a-minute escape is more mindless than cerebral.

 

Flawless(in Film)

This multi-layered whodunit is masterfully-constructed to keep you confounded and guessing about the next bizarre twist from start to finish.

 

TYLER PERRY’S MEET THE BROWNS (in Film)

Overall, ‘Tyler Perry’s Meet The Browns’ is not as multi-layered and spiritual uplifting as a the previous films, but it will still appeal to his usual fan base.

 

Irina Palm (in Film)

A thought-provoking drama, which arrives in a timely fashion, given these dire days of skyrocketing medical costs and a governor caught consorting with high-priced call girls.

 

Love Songs (in Film)

Why make a movie about bohemian swingers, if all you’re going to serve up is the French equivalent of a Broadway musical?

 

dPlanet B-Boy (in Film)

An exhilarating homage which deservedly elevates the rubber-limbed performers to the level of world-class gymnasts.

 

d I Am Legend DVD review (in Film)

Unfortunately, the second-rate special effects leave a lot to be desired, so the arrival of the cheesy monsters he has to wrestle with fails to measure up to the tension built in anticipation.
