Death Race (3/10)
This may sound strange, but this movie was both exactly what I was expecting and a big disappointment. Perhaps I was hoping for something more than I was expecting. I continue to have to point out that I don’t dislike Jason Statham as an actor. …

Hellboy 2: The Golden Army (8/10)
I was a big fan of the original Hellboy, and considered it a shame that it never quite got the success and attention it deserved. So, I was very happy to hear that a sequel was finally in the works – at a different studio …

Hancock (2/10)
So there I sat in the theater, blinking in bewildered disbelief, watching this movie called Hancock skitter by on the screen, unable to make sense out of what could have possibly happened to cause a movie that at some point (I think) had an interesting …

Wanted (9/10)
It’s funny how some movies can get away with the ridiculous, almost by the simple act of embracing said insanity. From physical insanity like curving bullets to mythological insanity like the “Loom Of Fate” (a truly brilliant piece of make-believe), it’s hard to not be …

WALL-E (10/10)
Put simply, WALL-E is the reason I’m a movie fan. I’ve been a PIXAR fanboy for many years. In fact, I’ve been a fan of theirs longer than most others, because it predates Toy Story. I’ve been a follower of the technologies of computer animation …

Get Smart (9/10)
I’ve been a huge Get Smart fan since I was a kid. It’s a series that has always been pretty much in line with my dry sense of humor, so it’s been a natural favorite of mine. I own the series collection on DVD. I’ve …

The Fall (10/10)
One of the best films of the year is one you haven’t even heard of. It’s also a very hard movie to try to explain to someone when recommending it (which I do, to anyone, without reservation). It’s actually kinda sad that a movie like …

The Incredible Hulk (5/10)
A movie full of sound and fury; signifying nothing. I’m gonna be one of the unpopular people who likes Ang Lee’s Hulk much more than this paint-by-numbers superhero action movie. This film gets a sideways thumb. Writing: Perhaps this movie can be saved by the …

The Happening (9/10)
A wonderfully engaging “what if” suspense film. Made with the typical elegance of writer/director/producer Shyamalan, this is a surprisingly cerebral movie to kick out in the middle of the summer movie season. Writing: Shyamalan is most notorious for his twist endings, which I think is …

Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull (9/10)
It’s perhaps a bit unfair to have to judge this film against the franchise it is part of, the lengthy delay of anticipation or the seemingly impossible expectations it has. Yet despite some problems here and there (that “fridge flight” for one), it’s marvelously entertaining. …
