The Alamo (7)
IMDB – This film isn’t as bad as most critics make it out to be. I’ll freely admit that my knowledge of this historical event is fairly limited, so I am not the person to critique the historical accuracy of the film. The material doesn’t …

The Punisher (7)
IMDB – A comic book hero film that is flawed, but still fairly entertaining. Personally, if they had dropped all the “comic book material” from the film, I would have liked it more (more on that in a bit). Thomas Jane does a good enough …

Kill Bill Vol. 2 (10)
IMDB – Suprisingly better than the first. I liked Vol 1 a lot, and was wondering if the second part would truly feel like the second half of the movie, and if so could it hold up to the first half? The answers are yes …

The Girl Next Door (7)
IMDB – There are a great number of reasons this movie is compared to Risky Business. It has many of the same elements, and the comparison is impossible to ignore. The main switch between this film and Risky Business is that the girl is a …

The Whole Ten Yards (6)
IMDB – OK, the plot is a convenient mess, and Kevin Pollak is quite annoying, but otherwise I liked this movie a bit more than most people out there it seems. Granted, it’s not a great movie, but it’s fun enough to be entertaining, thanks …

Ella Enchanted (9)
IMDB – I’m a big fan of 2 movies that I think this film draws upon – The Princess Bride and Shrek. This movie does maintain a distinctly unique quality of its own, too. One of the best things this movie has going for it …
-
Hellboy (9)
IMDB – A surprisingly fun superhero film. One of the best of its genre. A little simplistic in some aspects (generic bad guys, a few plot holes, etc), but ultimately a lot of fun. Ron Perlman is truly perfect casting for the lead, with his …

Taking Lives (5)
IMDB – This movie has some definite problems. If not for some great performances and some cool style, it would be a very problematic film. For a number of the big plot twists, there are some MAJOR things of convenience involved. What isn’t a big …
-
Starsky & Hutch (8)
IMDB – This is kind of an unusual cross between a remake that makes fun of the source material and a remake that pays respect and homage to the source material. It is basically equal parts of both. I particularly like the cameos they gave …
-
Secret Window (5)
IMDB – Ultimately, I have to call this movie a disappointment. Sure, it isn’t a bad movie, exactly. But for all the people involved, it could have been so much better. The story itself is surely the kind of thing that a writer would come …
