Walt Disney’s Bolt is a thoroughly enjoyable bit of fluff with just the right amount of darkness and danger to give kids [and their parents] a bit of a scare before everything works out. In terms of animation, it’s almost to the level of PIXAR, though the storytelling isn’t as fluid. The 3D, however, works […]

CONTESTS: Four Christmases Advanced Screening
It’s been awhile since we had a screening, primarily due to the lack of anything interesting this fall. In this time of nothing but depressing news, I thought it was time to do another one – A Comedy. I don’t know about you, but Four Christmases looks like it’ll be a cure for the Winter, […]
Blu-Ray News: New Blu-Ray Announcements
The Chronicle’s of Narnia: Prince Caspian was one of my top five favorite films of this year, I saw it twice in the theater and watched it again when I flew to London. It holds up well to repeat viewing. And as a general rule I hate talking animal movies. The Blu-ray version in will […]
MOVIE REVEW: Quantum of Boredom, Michelle looks at latest Bond!
From the minute they announced the lame title, Quantum of Solace (what does this even mean?) for the new Bond film; I could not be less enthused. I liked Casino Royale well enough; Daniel Craig is a good Bond stuck in material that only showcases his body and fighting abilities. From the opening fight sequence […]
MOVIE REVIEW: Quantum of Solace: Vengeance is Mine, Quoth Bond!
If you’ve seen Casino Royale, then you’ve gotten all the character development you need to enjoy Quantum of Solace, the latest adventure of MI6 operative James Bond [Daniel Craig] – but it’s not all the characterization you’ll get before the film ends. This film, which begins twenty minutes after the end of Casino Royale is […]
MOVIE NEWS: Cheech and Chong are back
I’ve never understood the success and popularity of Cheech and Chong, but they are making comeback to the big screen. But then I’ve never been a fan of pot humor. The Weinstein Company (TWC) have partnered with Cheech Marin, Tommy Chong, and their managers Ben Feigin and Josh Klein to produce a concert movie to […]
MOVIE REVIEW: Synecdoche, New York – What Does It All Mean?
It’s been several hours since I walked out of the theater and I’m still wondering whutinthehighholyhellwuzzat?!? If you’ve seen any of the films that Kaufman wrote previously [Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind], then you know that is the usual state of mind that follows a screening his work. It’s just […]
MOVIE REVIEW: Madagascar 2: Escape 2 Africa – Thank You for Flying Penguin Air!
Confession time. I did not see Madagascar. Nope. The trailer did nothing for me – and I was thoroughly penguined out, in any case. Thus, you can imagine my surprise when the trailer to Escape 2 Africa actually caught my attention. Further, you can probably imagine my surprise when I sat through the film and […]
MOVIE REVIEWS: Zack & Miri Make a Porno; Rachel Getting Married
Now that I’ve had time to recover from the 2008 World Fantasy Convention, I find I’ve needed to get a bit caught up on the movie front. Both Zack & Miri and Rachel Gets Married are faring poorly at the box office and that’s a shame. Zack & Miri Make a Porno Zack & Miri […]

BLU-ray Review: James Bond Collection
I’m not a fan of triple dips, but MGM and Fox Home Video have done an amazing job on the newly released James Bond Blu-ray set. I was generally skeptical about this dip because I already own three different versions of all the Bond films. But these Blu-ray versions are the definitive set. The picture […]
