The Kingdom: Earnest Efforts Falls Short! By Sheldon Wiebe
Peter Berg’s The Kingdom is a slick action flick masquerading as a statement movie. Despite a great cast and high production values – it fails on both terms because of a wrong-headed in the third act.
Across The Universe: All You Need Is Beatles Music!
Julie Taymor’s Across The Universe is a polarizing film – I strongly doubt there will be viewers who walk out of it with “take it or leave it” attitude. It’s a saga of four intertwined journeys, all connected by visuals that cry out to be referred to as psychedelic, and the music of the Beatles […]
In The Valley of Elah, Michelle Alexandria’s Review.
It’s that time of the year where all the Oscar Wannabe films start to trickle out and one of those films that is getting a lot of early buzz is “In the Valley of Elah” a political thriller about the death of an Soldier who is home on leave. This film has all the pedigree […]
Feast of Love isn’t for everyone. Michelle Alexandria’s Review
Ah, Feast of Love, what is there to say about this overlong, pretentious rumination on the many forms of Love? Morgan Freeman gives one of his textbook quiet performances as a retired professor, Harry Stevenson, who sits around and observes life through the eyes of others in a small Oregon town.
The Gameplan Kind of Works. Michelle Alexandria’s Review!
I’ve been a fan of the Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson since his debut in the WWE, he’s one of the few (ok, only wrestlers) to truly crossover and have a decent film career. I’m not counting Hulk Hogan (Mr. Mom, anyone?). After trying his hand as an action hero, he does what all big wannabe […]

Okay, kiddies… We’ve got all manner of strangeness for you, today. First up is Quentin Tarantino’s fusion of cars & babes flicks with slasher movies, Death Proof – in it’s extended [by which we mean full] version. Then there’s the new repackaging of the first two Resident Evil movies in what they’re calling the […]
Eureka Gets a 3rd Season!
One of television’s quirkest shows gets a S3 order. Originally I couldn’t quit get into the series, but after visiting the set, and meeting with the cast, I’ve come around. It took a bit to grow on me, but I’m starting to get into it, it’s nice to see it get the pickup. Here’s the […]
Are you ready for Knight Rider 2009?
Well it had to happen; NBC wants to bring back Knight Rider, first a tv movie and then a television. This would be fine until you hear that they want all the cars to be able to shape shift and they will be fighting evil shape shifting cars. Can you say blatent rip off […]
NUMB3RS: The Mathematics of Trust!
Now entering its fourth season on CBS [10/9C], Numb3rs continues to mix character, procedural and science [mathematics] elements in its own unique way to provide some of the quirkiest material of any of the far too many procedurals on TV. This season, Executive Producer Tony Scott steps behind the camera to direct Trust Metric, the […]
