Quantum Of Solace
Another satisfying entry to the long Bond franchise. Not quite as good as Casino Royale, but a nice follow-up.

Max Payne (3/10)
Wow, what a spectacularly disappointing movie. After the excellent trailer, I was looking forward to this one. But boy oh boy, what a lame film. If it wasn’t for some nice cinematography and visual work, I’d rank this film even lower. Writing: I know it’s …

The X-Files: I Want To Believe (9/10)
For the record, I’m an X-Files fan. I’ve seen every episode multiple times (well, perhaps not the handful of episodes I consider just plain bad – such as the William Gibson episodes). I very much liked the first feature film, and I definitely liked this …

Ghost Town (9/10)
This is a surprisingly fun romantic comedy, featuring a great cast and a rather good script that somehow manages to put a slight spin on a tried movie formula. Writing: Writer/director David Koepp tries his hand at the romantic comedy genre, with success. Having written …

I’ve mentioned numerous times during reviews of mindless actions movies starring Jason Statham that I really do like him as an actor, it’s just that he continually picks action movies that are actually dumber than the one before. Crank was one of the worst movies …

Eagle Eye (8/10)
This is one of those movies that’s surprisingly entertaining, despite a fairly implausible and ridiculous script. Writing: While I must admit that this story went in a direction that I honestly wasn’t expecting, and the fact that it actually does contain some interesting ideas, most …

Charlie Bartlett (9/10)
This is one of those odd and charming indie films that moderately breaks through into the main stream. In this case, I think it’s primarily for the cast involved, and the somewhat easily marketable story. Writing: There no doubting the low key, indie mentality of …

Transsiberian (9/10)
Since I’m so far behind on reviews anyway, I’ll ignore the big box office hits I still have outstanding and go with this movie that I just got back from seeing. So, I’m assuming when you first saw this review, your first thought was “I’ve …
