“The Producers” is a remake of the comic gem by Mel Brooks with more music and dancing added. The plot has been altered as well. All of these changes have not improved the original but instead make you appreciate the original even more. This stage-y production with a variety of performances ranging from good to […]

“Rumor Has It” is a light-weight romantic-comedy about an unmarried young woman who travels from NYC to Calif. to attend her younger sister’s (only sibling’s) wedding. At this point she is considering getting married herself. This is a Jennifer Aniston film so if you don’t particularly like her – you may want to pass (unless […]

“Hoodwinked” is a musical detective/mystery takeoff on ‘Little Red Riding Hood”. Unfortunately, all of the effort put into this film results in a disappointing mis-fire. There are a few chuckles and most of the humor is directed at the adults. Probably not worth your time (or money). GRADE = “C”

“Casanova” is a costume romp with magnificent sets and good acting. Heath Ledger, in the title role, gives a performance that is a sharp contrast to the one in “Brokeback Mountain”. He’s certainly come a long way since “A Knight’s Tale”… GRADE = “A-“

Has anyone heard anything about Billie Joe Armstrong and Tim Armstrong’s new animated movie – Live Freak Die Freaky? I find it unusual that Billie Joe made a movie that…well isn’t really geared towards the average age of Green Days fans. The move is rated X and is completely graphic. But! You have to love […]

So I just saw a trailer for the upcoming Rob Reiner film RUMOR HAS IT. And it got me to thinking. Have any of the “Friends” had a decent film ? THis one actually looks like it might be good. Could Jennifer Anniston be the first post-Friends success story on the big screen ?

“Brokeback Mountain” tells the story of two cowboys from different states who meet and work together during a lonely summer in the 60’s, have an intimate relationship, but go on to marry and have children. They meet later and learn that there is still that relationship (which will continue for twenty years). Excellent performances and […]

Well I just saw the new King Kong movie and all I can say is WOW, this movie is huge in everyway possible and just couldn’t have gone any better…

“Syriana” tells of greed and corruption in the international oil industry. Performances are good, but this over two hour film is overly long, overly complicated, and overly choppy. Lots of characters to keep track of, as well. GRADE = “B-“
