“Just Friends” is a just dreadful film about a former fat teenager who ‘accidently’ returns to his hometown after 10 years and ‘accidently’ runs into his former best friend/unrequited love (who still lives at home with her parents). Lots of pratfalls, leering, and overacting. A new Christmas ‘classic’ to put on your must not see/be […]

“Kiss Kiss Bang Bang”
“Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” is a screwball murder-mystery-comedy set in lalaland. The overly complicated plot turns out not to be worth following; rather, just muddle along and enjoy the wacky, violent, murderous developments. Robert Downey looks too much like his character; but Val Kilmer seems to be thoroughly enjoying his ‘gay Perry’ role. GRADE = […]

LOST Season 2
Anyone catch the premiere of this last night? I thought it was great and I am an avid fan of the show. I am, however, just a tiny bit frustrated with some of the twists and turns this show makes. I still love the ride and would like to discuss some possible theories on what’s […]
“Doom”
“Doom” is a film based on an adult video game (of which I have very limited knowledge). “Zombies from Mars” would be a better title. Story deals with some marines in Calif. being zapped to Mars to control some chaos at a research facility. This formula horror movie has plenty of violence, machine guns, and […]
“Pride & Prejudice”
“Pride & Prejudice” is yet another version of the Jane Austen novel about marrying off daughters. Good locations, photography, and acting, but not one of the best presentations. GRADE = Depends on your gender – most men would probably rename it ‘Pride & Sleepiness” – a definite ‘chick flick’.
The Weather Man
Just saw this movie. It sure wasn’t what I thought it would be….I was expecting a comedy, but it is definitely more of a drama. It’s almost impossible to say what it is about actually, more of a “life is like the weather, always changing.” Nick Cage was good. I would rate it a B-
