Grant Heslov’s feature debut is an inspired, weird, odd, and fun tale that has some wonderful origins that far surpass an aimless plot that occupies the other half of the film. The plot surrounds a journalist, Bob Wilton, who is looking to maybe win his ex back by going to Iraq during the early stages […]
Read more "Review: The Men Who Stare at Goats"Robert Zemeckis’ third foray into the 3-D motion capture world is a retelling of the classic A Christmas Carol and the results are a beautiful and well executed version of the classic tale that could easily become many peoples “go to” version of the fateful night of Ebenezer Scrooge. The tale of Scrooge doesn’t really […]
Read more "Review: A Christmas Carol"When it comes to aliens, extra-terrestrials, life out there, or whatever you want to call it, I am a firm believer and for anyone that likes that kind of stuff The Fourth Kind is right up your alley. Now, I am not a cultist or of the belief that aliens are inherently violent or want […]
Read more "Review: The Fourth Kind"If you cannot see the greatness of Zombieland, then you are as dead as the majority of the population of this film. In the near future, the majority of the population of the United States has turned into a flesh-feeding mass due to a freakish incident that I would not dare to give away. We […]

But the film is extremely affective and beautifully shot with daring and brave turns by the […]
Read more "Review: Antichrist"In the spirit of the holiday I decided that I would treat myself to a little horror film. The problem is I am not always the best judge in selecting something because my love of the genre tends to block out the part of my brain that warns me as to how stupid the movie […]
Read more "Rental Review – P2"Although Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant starts out strong introducing the feel of the world with it’s medley of circus freaks and animated opening credits, it doesn’t take long to realize that these credits are the most exciting part of this bland film. The Vampire’s Assistant combines the stories of the first three books […]
Read more "Now Playing Review – Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant"Mira Nair’s latest is a dull, bland, and almost completely forgettable effort that while capturing the look, sound, and stories of Amelia Earhart it fails to create any drama, tension, or just about any emotion inside of us over it’s run time. Spoilers ahead if you some how have know grasp on history. Picking up […]
Read more "Review: Amelia"It’s not exactly going out on a limb by saying that the Star Wars franchise has been caught in a downslide following the first three films (AKA Episodes 4-6), but The Clone Wars may have found a way to sink even further yet.
