“White Chicks” is a farts and racial humor comedy from the Wayans brothers. Story is the attempts by two bumbling black undercover FBI agents to blend into white Hamptons society by assuming the identities (and looks) of two rich sisters they were assigned to guard.

“The Chronicles of Riddick”
“The Chronicles of Riddick” is an overblown empty scific epic. The acting is atrocious, the weapons are ludicrous, the plot is simply stupid, and music is foreground.

It truly has been a year for movies that break the mold. Between 9/11 and The Passion, Hollywierd has seen some strange days. Be […]

So did anyone see…
Anyone catch the History Channel special on King Arthur Sunday night ? I made it a point to sit down and watch it. I wanted to like it. I did. Especially as Patrick Stewart was doing the narration. I must confess, I didn’t make it to the end of hour one. I just was completely […]
