MOVIE REVIEW: Year One is a Level 0
If there was a comedy that has biblical proportions for the 21st Century, Year One would not make the cut even in the 1st Century. If we really wanted to "Meet Our Ancestors" as the movie’s tagline suggested, I highly doubt that the human race would survive and thrive. The movie follows Zed (Jack Black), […]
MOVIE REVIEW: Year One Is One Long Waste of Time
The story of two Neanderthal-like men, who stumble and bumble away from their village and through a series of famous early Biblical stories, makes up the so-called plot of Year One. On paper I could see how a studio executive greenlit this project especially since Harold Ramis, writer of Caddyshack and Animal House, was at […]
MOVIE REVIEW: Star Power and Chemistry Propel The Proposal!
It’s been a while since we’ve had a new Sandra Bullock movie, so The Proposal will likely be welcomed just for that. That it takes Bullock in a slightly different direction than usual may make it seem fresher than it is – and giving her Ryan Reynolds to play off/with could be considered a stroke […]
MOVIE NEWS: New Fame 2009 Trailer Rocks and new Photos
The folks at MGM sent over some new pictures and a brand new trailer for Fame. I told you all how much I loathed that first trailer, that it lacked that sense of urgency, dedication and feeling of desperation that the original movie brings forth. Well apparently MGM listened because the new trailer gives you […]

MOVIE NEWS: Red Dawn Gets Two New Cast Members
Fear the Wolverine! I loved the original Red Dawn, the movie that turned Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey into stars. This 80s classic lived out everyone’s fantasy of fighting the man, in this case the Ruskies. I have no opinion on the idea of a remake, but I hope they keep the central theme of […]
MOVIE NEWS: New Spread Poster, Ashton Kutcher’s Latest
Here’s the official poster for Spread, Ashton Kutcher’s latest flick. SPREAD is a fresh, funny, and racy look at the trials and tribulations of sleeping your way to a life of privilege in Los Angeles.

Academy Award-winning filmmaker Michael Moore is getting ready to explore the wonders that is capitalism. He called upon the press outlets of four major markets across the country to see the debut of an exclusive trailer of his new documentary and to participate in a theatre stunt. The four markets chosed were Chicago, Los Angeles, […]
MOVIE REVIEW: The Taking of Pelham 123, Ruined by Incredibly Dumb Moments. Michelle’s Review!
In a year when every summer film has been directed by some bland, visionless studio hack like McG, it was great watching a movie that clearly had a style and vision to it. At no point in “The Taking of Pelham 123,” you do not know that yes, this is a Tony Scott […]
MOVIE REVIEW: Away We Go to a wonderful dramedy
Away We Go is a new film by Sam Mendes that tells the story of a couple who are expecting their first child. Verona (Maya Rudolph) is an early 30’s artist who wanted to know if she is ready for the next step. Burt (John Krasinski) is her boyfriend who can be a bit goofy but […]
