  • Hollywoodland

    I wasn’t expecting this to be the best movie of the year, but I was expecting to quite like it. Sadly, that wasn’t to be true. To be honest, it had trouble holding my interest. George Reeves’ death is one of the most notorious Hollywood …

  • The Wicker Man

    This one’s not as bad as most people are making it out to be. It’s not all too good, either. I’ve never seen the original film, so I can’t make any judgments or comparisons based on the remake nature of this version. The nature-based approach …

  • Trust The Man

    Here’s an example of one of those indy/character films masquerading as a main stream movie. It’s not a particularly great movie, either. The main problem with the film is that I’ve seen most of it before. There’s very little original material to be found here. …

  • My Super Ex-Girlfriend

    A fun movie with a great cast that isn’t quite as good as it should have been. Legendary director Ivan Reitman makes a valiant attempt at a fun idea, but it doesn’t completely work. Or, at the very least, it falls a little bit flat. …

  • Idiocracy

    This is one of those films that I probably liked more than I should. I’m a fan of Luke Wilson, and the idea sounded pretty funny. And since it’s from Mike Judge, who made Office Space, I figured it had potential (I try to not …

  • Crank (1/10)

    I’ve actually got a few other reviews to post, but I need to get this one posted before my hatred for this movie fades. This is the first movie I’ve walked out on since, I think, Buffalo 66 (though I *ALMOST* walked out on Gosford …

  • The Illusionist

    This is the lesser known of the “magic thrillers” to be released this year. The higher profile one is October’s The Prestige, directed by Christopher Nolan and starring a big name cast featuring the likes of Hugh Jackman, Michael Caine, Christian Bale and Scarlett Johansson. …

  • Snakes On A Plane

    Here’s a movie that is exactly what it is supposed to be. An example of truth in advertising. This movie is designed from the ground up to be a total popcorn-munching summer action flick. It’s completely far fetched, and that’s the way we want it. …

  • Accepted

    I was definitely looking forward to this film, which gave Justin Long a much-needed starring role. I’m a big fan of Long, who is a gifted comedy actor. I’m not going to hold the arrogant, condescending and annoying Apple commercials he does against him (though …

  • Little Miss Sunshine

    One of the best pictures of the year. It is definitely the product of the “independent film” mindset, both funny and poignant. And, like many independent character-based films, it is somewhat twisted and unrestrained in its use of language and adult themes – though in …
