Imagine That
If I were to guess I would say that Eddie Murphy most likely likes those paint by the number paintings. Why would I say something like that? Well, it seems a lot of his movies have followed the same paint by the numbers type film making that after a while it just gets boring. “Imagine […]
Taking of Pelham 1 2 3
Tony Scott’s latest with frequent collaborator Denzel Washington is a mediocre affair that is poorly written and can’t even muster much style out of Scott either. Walter Garber is introduced to us as an everyday transit authority civil servant that mans and maintains the New York City subway traffic so that it flows with ease […]
My Life in Ruins
Nia Vardalos hit indie gold with her 2002 hit My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Besides a little pit stop with 2004’s Connie and Carla she has been pretty absent from the world of film. Is her latest film a grand return to the screen after years of absence? Sadly, no. Getting your kefi back or […]
Land of the Lost
So, this summer has already seen one remake of an older series with slightly cheesy effects. We all remember how that turned out? Well, did Land of the Lost turn out as well? Ah, well that might be a bit of a debate for some. Dr. Rick Marshall is a scientist who has been laughed […]
Up
To be perfectly honest I thought I was going to enjoy this movie. I have high expectations with Pixar films. However, last years Pixar film Wall-E had such a great trailer that it almost moved me to tears. The trailer for Up was exciting, but didn’t have the same effect. So, yes I thought I […]
The Brothers Bloom
I saw this movie last October and I stand by my opinion from then, and infact, I liked it even more the second time around. Rian Johnson is back with another solid entry in his sophomore debut, which is full of humor, style, and great work by everyone involved, all mixed with a story that […]
Drag Me To Hell
I always like to let people know from the beginning if I am biased one way or another about a film. Everyone has some sort of bias, however as a critic you have to try and remove that and judge a film on it’s own merits. I’m not a huge fan of the horror genre, […]
Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian
Caution: Spoilers Night at the Museum 2 – Battle of the Smithsonian is an action/comedy film that attempts to be a meaningful and engaging sequel to the original Night at the Museum movie that scored broad fan appreciation back in 2006. Both films feature Ben Stiller as the main character and hero who literally fights […]
The Limits of Control
The latest from Jim Jarmusch is an odd and interesting picture that looks fantastic, has some nice moments, but leaves one scratching their head almost as much as they are enjoying the picture. The film follows and unnamed man who is “on the job” but we are never really led on to what that job […]
