There really are no words to describe how this makes you feel. It is a closer look at the man that was a mystery to us all, but is a daunting reminder of the talent that was lost too soon and a show that was sure to be one of the greater stage pro...

I remember the book, I do, but it wasn't a huge part of my childhood or anything like that. Although after seeing Spike Jonze's adaptation/interpretation I wish I would have become more attached to it. Jonze's film is A) beautiful to look at, its ...

'Saw VI" goes political-and it works! After the last two installments I was starting to lose faith in the convulted yet oddly intelligent and intriguing horror series of my day. Though those films did not stand alone well on their own, they contri...

It is odd to see the critics respond so harshly to this film. It may not be the most intellectual piece of filmmaking, but it is intriguing to the brim and has two dependable lead actors that seem very in tune with the characters they are portrayi...

Going into this, I knew what to expect, I knew I was probably about to experience a lame horror film (especially after seeing 'Paranormal Activity' the night before) but I still tried to convince myself it might exceed expectations, maybe even pas...

I was skeptical about the hype that built so quickly around this little film. I saw the preview a few weeks before it became a big "Demand It" option, and thought it looked genuinley creepy. I am happy to report the hype is not making this film in...

It feels as if 'Surrogates' should have been a summer tentpole, it has the scope, the leading man and plenty of action. It also posesses a story that may be the most original of its kind especially with how familiar this kind of movie feels. At ti...

There have been many great computer animated films coming out lately that have nothing to do with the Disney/Pixar brand. This is impressive because before what seems like last year, the only other success outside of the Disney realm was the 'Shre...

'Whip It' is a sports film about a sport we don't too often see. It is held together by the themes of finding one's true self, a very expressive tone that fits perfectly on the lead actress. Ellen Page is the same awkward, yet slyly and smartly sa...

It's all about expectation with this one. I was hoping for a great throwback to the 'Swingers' days and also that Vaughn could re-claim his spot near the top of the comedy kingdom with this. Needless to say, I was hoping for a lot, but what fan wo...

Sam Mendes knows how to reach past the surface and really get at what makes characters tick, what in their life has led to them to this current point in which his film captures. This skill along with a script from real life couple Dave Eggers and ...

Uneven, but interesting and very entertaining at times, 'Assassination of a High School President' is a trippy little tale that desperatley wants to expose how difficult and complicated high school students make their own lives. In this case, espe...

Though I can't say I was expecting much from 'Jennifer's Body' I figured it would have a cool edge to it, the concept was interesting enough and the tone of the film looked as if it fit the story and coolness of the idea. And was it wrong for me t...

I find Jennifer Aniston to be completely irresistable. She is a very famous woman, yet she does not seem to care what roles interest her and though she may say this is false, it seems she has no fear of playing someone most big name actresses woul...

With a worn-out premise and a small budget director Ruben Fleischer's debut is a two man/two-woman show that may be the most fun I have had in the theater this year, besides 'The Hangover'. Honestly though, 'Zombieland' is great, it is funny and s...

Though it is obvious Gervais and writing and directing partner Matt Robinson have an interesting concept and plenty of good ideas to go along with it, they never take it as far as they seem able and the film falls into conventions of the romantic ...

It is an interesting chemistry between the two very likeable lead stars. You trust both of them, which is important in a movie about love that hardly has a strong relationship in it until the end. Eckhart is a good guy in a bad place, one that has...

Matt Damon has officially secured himself as an actor not constrained by the limits of his trademark face. It feels like he impressed director Soderbergh enough in the 'Ocean's' films to land him in the lead role here. 'The Informant!' is a comedy...

Though it is very hard to dislike Sandra Bullock, it is just really hard to see how one could not be annoyed by her character here. She is written to be odd and eccentric, a genius in kind of an insane way, but she honestly is just annoying and yo...

Though it is very hard to dislike Sandra Bullock, it is just really hard to see how one could not be annoyed by her character here. She is written to be odd and eccentric, a genius in kind of an insane way, but she honestly is just annoying and yo...

At first it seemed odd, director Ang Lee would tackle such an "American" story, but his naturalistic touch fits this very homegrown story about Elliot who is a kind enough son to stick around his parents "resort" and help them get things back toge...

I'm not a fan of Zombie's films, though I was looking forward to this because his 2007 re-imagination really creeped me out and made good with a horror legend. I say that, but i have never seen the original films either, but it is safe to say Myer...

The studio has hit gold with this franchise, when you can have a different, unknown cast for each film and still release it in theaters where it tops the box office, it is truly a rarity, but for some reason the Final Destination's pull it off. I ...

It is slightly upsetting to hear that films made for "adults" such as 'Duplicity' don't fare as well at the box office as you would hope. Those that fit into that category always seem to be of a certain quality, good on a sunday afternoon, enterta...

I love movies, am 22 years-old, and took a few film classes last year. It felt like a crime in the film dept. if you didn't love what Quentin Tarantino had done with 'Pulp Fiction' and even more of a crime if you didn't appreciate what he represen...

I had heard from many of my friends how awful this was, not so much that the film was bad as a whole, but that the content was very brutal, it was disgusting human actions and they couldn't hardly bare to watch it. I understood where they were com...

Mike Tyson is no doubt an interesting figure and James Toback's documentary about the former heavyweight champion of the world is also incredibly interesting. Though I had built up alot of anticipation for this with all the critical praise it was ...

'The Goods: Live Hard. Sell Hard', is exactly what it looks like. A good, raunchy and hilarious time at the movies. It was evident in 'Old School' Jeremy Piven had what it took to hold down a feature and he finally gets his chance here. Along with...

Back in May, when I saw the first trailer for 'District 9' I will admit, I laughed a little bit at the idea of interrogating an alien and blocking out its face as if it were an everyday criminal that would rather not have its identity revealed. I ...

It would have been easy to dismiss 'Julie & Julia' as a film strictly for the ladies. It is probably a greater experience for those that are fans of Julia Child's as well as people who enjoy cooking, but for someone who knew very little about the ...

Once in a while you see a movie that really gets to you. One that you enjoy from beginning to end, one that makes you wish you lived in the world it paints and one you hate to see end. Seeing as '500 Days of Summer' is only an hour and a half long...

War is a drug, and 'The Hurt Locker' is a carefully paced and expertly executed film that puts the audience in the middle of a bomb squads day to day jobs. The film doesn't have any apparent plot or goals to reach other than our featured character...

If you thought 'Transformers 2' was rough, wait until you see this mess. I was afraid being unfamiliar with the lore of GI Joe would take alot of the fun and excitement out of this for me-I did have the sense to know that GI Joe referred to one ma...

This had to be the film I was looking most forward to this summer-a new Apatow film combined with a Sandler summer comedy-it could be the best combination ever. "Funny People" is odd though, maybe not what most would expect-of course, if you have...

There is definitely something wrong Esther. There is also some things wrong with the movie she is in; 'Orphan' is a classic thriller with a few scares thrown in for the hell of it, but what brings the film down is how slow the firt half of the fi...

I had never heard of The Amazing Kreskin until this film mentioned him after the final frame. While I was watching this, I simply thought there was a real Buck Howard out there somewhere. The point in me saying this, is that this film will make yo...

Director James Gray is going for a mature and serious romantic film here. It is a nice change of pace from every romance tale being a light and somewhat funny comedy. 'Two Lovers' isn't a completely unfunny film though, and though it has plenty of...

Katherine Heigl learned alot from her 'Knocked Up' experience-she along with Gerard Butler make a somewhat odd, yet surprisingly likeable and most of the time, funny pair. The film is nothing new when it comes to discussing romantic comedies-the ...

You probably know where 'The Brothers Bloom' is going, the story of these two brothers, one living to create the perfect con the other feeling like he only lives to be a role in his brothers schemes-after threatening many times to quit the hopele...

I only rented 'Coraline' on a reccomendation-usually, I'm not a huge fan of stop-motion animation made to be a little strange and off from the kid-friendly animation. As is the stop motion technique is a little off when compared to CGI, it only ma...

After two years of waiting, the pivotal installment in the Harry Potter films finally arrives in great glory. After an impressive debut by David Yates with 'The Order of The Phoenix' it was only certain he would continue to improve upon translatin...

It is pointless to even try and write about 'Bruno'-people who loved 'Borat' will no doubt be pleased with it, though it isn't as consistently funny and Bruno just is not as full a character as Borat was. For those who didn't like or get 'Borat'-...

'My Sister's Keeper' goes into greater detail on something common and exposes sides of its effects that maybe not everyone knows or realizes go on. It surely got to me as to how one childs illness can differently affect an entire family. It is suc...

The trailer was awesome, it gave the look, the feel, the emotion, the style, everything this film was going to have, we got a sense for it in the trailer. I was excited. But i reminded myself I felt that way about 2006's 'Miami Vice' as well and w...

Like I said with last years 'Wall-E' Pixar does not make childrens movies-these are films that touch on things more mature than most live-action academy award winning films do. 'UP' begins with a young man wide-eyed and excited about life, it intr...

You know when you love a certain kind of food alot and you just keep eating it because it is so good, but afterwards you feel kind of sick because you are full? Thats kind of how "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" is...The action scenes are gre...

"Crossing Over" is an interesting film about illegal immigrants and the issues they face once they reach America. The film does a fine job of navigating its intertwining stories-while its star-studded cast seemlessly blend into their everyday char...

Seriously, Idris Elba was the only one in this movie that kept me from laughing out loud at the whole thing. Beyonce played the typical if not stereotypical african american woman/wife. She let flow all the cliche lines that you could imagine-as d...

I'm a sucker for a good chick flick, and even though some might say this isn't really a good rom-com, it is enjoyable enough to put up there with the good ones that follow this timeless formula. If it were compared to 'He's Just Not That Into You'...

Although this somewhat pointless sequel is much of the same, it has its moments and I actually really enjoyed the first one. I have only ever seen parts of the Peter Sellars 'Pink Panther' films, so I don't have much knowledge as to how Martins in...

The Dark Knight is a film that is like nothing many of us have seen before-and that is not said in the sense of the visuals or the performances (although both are great) it is more an acknowledgement of how it penetrates the genres of films, it is...

'Year One' which has a great premise, director and a cast that should be able to make you laugh by just staring at you isn't as funny or entertaining as I had hoped. It is true the fil, is desperate for jokes here, theuy dont come naturally and at...

'The Taking of Pelham 123' is at its best when its two greatly acted leads play off one another. Travolta really thrives as this crazy hijacker who is smarter and has more to him than he at first appears...the same can be said for Washingtons subw...

As a movie lover who finds horror to be his least favorite genre, i had no interest in seeing this film, that was, until I started hearing so many good things about it and then learning Sam Raimi was directing and he supposedly had a few cult clas...

The critics have not been kind to 'Land of the Lost' and it is obvious why. The film is an hour and a half excuse to let Will Ferrell do his thing with some seriously elaborate sets. The film was hard for me not to like though, I am a Ferrell fan ...

Oh, its been too long since a Todd Phillips movie has come around. He does here what he did in 'Old School'-assembles a great troupe of comic actors, goes off a great concept and gives us nearly two hours of non-stop laughter. Though the results o...

I'm a big Frat Pack fan, so even though this is the follow-up to Ben's big family movie, I was excited for it. It was nice to see him and Owen teaming up again and a few of the familiar faces making guest appearances-Coogan is back, as well as Ger...
