Iron Man is one of the top 15 movies I’m looking forward to this year. I will say that I’m mixed on the first trailer. All of the Tony Stark bits were right on target. Exactly what I want and expect from an Iron Man film. But the in armor stuff with the planes at […]

We have news on the video game for the Spiderwick Chronicles, including a ton of new screen shots.

There Will Be Blood – Oh, Yes. There Will Be Blood!
Paul Thomas Anderson tends to make long, odd films that take a unique look at some aspect of its subject – hence a film about the porn business is really about family, for example – and There Will Be Blood is about many things, not all of them obvious.
In the Name of the King: Uwe Boll vs. Dungeon Siege!
Uwe Boll makes bad movies based on videogames – each more ambitious and each a more spectacular failure. Until now. In the Name of the King is Boll’s most ambitious film to date, but it is merely a failure – not a spectacular one.
Michelle’s Picks for The Best and worst Films of 2007
I used to be one of those people who hated creating top 10 lists each year. I always found it kind of trite and cliche. Now find it an interesting exercise to see if I can remember even a third of the movies I saw, much less come up with a top ten list. This […]
2007’s Best Films!
Picking ten films as the best of the year is difficult when you don’t get to see everything [and, frankly, even with every studio providing press screenings of every film, no one critic can see everything released in a given year]. So, then, out of the far too many movies I saw in 2007, these […]
2007: The Year’s Worst Films!
Every year, I see way more movies than one would think healthy. Most of them are pleasant enough timewasters that entertain enough to be worth my hard-earned cash [yes, I have to pay for the bulk of my movies – some studios still haven’t figured out that Eclipse is not going to go away overnight]. […]
National Treasure: Book of Secrets – Clever Puzzle, Not So Clever Movie!
The writers of National Treasure: Book of Secrets clearly spent more time on the film’s puzzle and action sequences than on character development. True, the puzzle and action sequences are worth seeing, but even the Indiana Jones pictures [which are a huge influence here] had more character.
Walk Hard is Just Funny Enough. Michelle Alexandria’s Review
For many people the quintessential rock and roll spoof is the classic mockumentary This is Spinal Tap. Walk Hard is a spoof of the Rock and Roll bio picture and the music industry, but it’s not trying to be Spinal Tap, and it’s not trying to be a spoof of E!’s True Hollywood Story. Well, […]
Sweeney Todd Is [Pardon The Expression] Bloody Good Fun!
No one thought that making a movie adaptation os Sweeney Todd was a good idea, though they certainly tried for a long time. Finally, the legendary Sondheim play came [or fell] into the hands of the one director who could take its stylishly macabre tale and do it justice. With playwright Stephen Sondheim performing surgery […]
