Before Judd Apatow’s laugh factory, there was the American Pie Trilogy [and a handful of straight-to-DVD movies that weren’t as bad as they could have been, but warrant no further comment], a series of three R-rated comedies with hearts of gold and a core sweetness that made at least two of them great fun. American […]

Mirror Mirror – Gorgeous, Fluffy Fun!
The first of this year’s two takes on Snow White, Mirror Mirror is a sumptuous visual feast – the trademark of director Tarsem Singh – with enough laughs, action and romance to make it worth a trip to your local multiplex.
Michelle Breaks Mirror Mirror
Mirror Mirror benefits from the low expectation syndrome, but does not quite overcome it. This is one of those movies where you ask the question, “Why?” Yes, from a purely budget and numbers perspectives you can see why a studio would want to make this film. They got Julia Roberts and re-imagining fairy tales is […]
Michelle Likes the 3D in Wrath of the Titans!
When I first saw the trailer for Wrath of the Titans, my initial response was “Huh?” The idea that someone would greenlight a sequel to one of the worst movies of 2011 was a surprise to me. The fact that after seeing the trailer a million times I walked into the theater thinking “it might […]
Wrath Of The Titans Improves Upon The Original!
Clash of the Titans was not an awful movie – or rather, wouldn’t have been if the 3D hadn’t been so bad – but it was no great fantasy-action flick, either. Wrath of the Titans may actually have less plot – less actual story – but it is superior in every way. In fact, it […]

Sheldon Says Hollywood Did Not Screw Up The Hunger Games!
Hollywood has been known to suck the life out of adaptations from other media even while getting all the details right – one only has to look at last summer’s Green Lantern to see how that works. So, as a fan of the Hunger Games Trilogy, I went into the screening with a combination of […]

John Carter Review! Michelle Loves It!
John Carter is an example of an adaptation that works as a movie. It doesn’t require you to know anything about the source material, or, expect the audience to have a crystal ball and know what’s “going to happen” in the “sequels.” It was nice watching an adaptation that stood on its own feet and […]
