  • The Fog

    I don’t remember the original film all too well. I saw it years ago, and remember thinking it was OK. Not great, but entertaining enough. So, what do I think about this remake? Basically the same thing. The movie is extremely conventional for the genre. …

    I’ll be honest, I wasn’t expecting much from this movie. The trailers looked fairly lame, and the history of video game to movie adaptations is not a particularly great legacy. I’m not much of a fan of The Rock, but I don’t actively dislike him …

  • The Weather Man

    This movie is a fairly unusual movie. It’s also being misadvertised. It pulled in just over $4 million this opening weekend. I don’t expect it to finish with more than $10 million. I’m one of the 20% of people that were expecting a comedy and …

  • A History Of Violence

    David Cronenberg is a hit-and-miss kind of director, in my opinion. I really like some of his films, and dislike others. He’s kinda like Oliver Stone. Granted, I tend to like Cronenberg films that nobody else does, like Crash (then again, I hated another movie …

    Much of this review will contain spoilers, because it’s hard to review this movie without giving away key information. I will say simply that I liked the movie, but I liked it more for individual scenes and performances from a first rate cast. As a …

    Here’s another example of critics panning a movie that I liked a lot. Cameron Crowe is an excellent writer/director, so I was looking forward to seeing this movie. Roger Ebert had mentioned some extra 18 minutes that was on the original festival circuit cut of …

    Well, this one was a surprise. I was expecting to like this movie. I was definitely disappointed. In fact, this is the first movie directed by Tony Scott that I can remember ever giving a thumb down to. Granted, it’s only a marginal thumb down. …

  • Waiting…

    How would I sum up this movie in one word? Crass. Well, to expand it out, I would change that to “extremely crass.” It joins the ranks of The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Wedding Crashers, and other recent comedies that have worn their R rating with pride. …

  • Unleashed: Revisited

    Posted Oct 11 2005 in  with 0 Comments

    I’m watching the DVD release of Unleashed right now. Man, this is such a fantastic movie. Luc Besson tends to write and produce films more than direct these days. This is just such an example. This is possibly Besson’s best film, and is a return …

  • Wallce & Gromit: The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit

    Posted Oct 10 2005 in  with 0 Comments

    Simply brilliant. Wallace & Gromit have always been a lot of fun, but taken to the big screen and expanded, it is nothing short of pure delight. Frankly, I have to admire Dreamworks for teaming up with Aardman on their stop animation projects. In an …
