Valentine’s Day
“Valentine’s Day” talks a big game, as it stars a lot of well known actors. Ashton Kutcher, Bradley Cooper, Jamie Foxx, Julia Roberts, George Lopez, Patrick Dempsey, Kathy Bates, Taylor Lautner, Anne Hathaway, and Topher Grace are amongst the celebrity cast. There seems to be enough stars in the film to where everyone can find […]
LOST: Season 6 – Episode 6.3 – What Kate Does – Review

Dear John – Movie Review
What John Grisham is to legal thrillers, Nicholas Sparks has become to chaste romantic weepies about star-crossed lovers. The latest film based on his work is Dear John.

From Paris With Love – Movie Review
In the 1988 cinematic masterpiece They Live, Roddy Piper uttered the classic line, “I’ve come to chew bubblegum and kick ass…and I’m all out of bubblegum.” So it is with John Travolta’s latest From Paris with Love only instead of bubblegum, Travolta has come to chew scenery…and there’s plenty of it. He plays Charlie Wax, […]
From Paris With Love
From Paris With Love is director Pierre Morel’s third feature film, following the likes of District B13 and the sleeper hit Taken. Unlike its predecessors, the film concentrates more on the guns, explosions, and thoughtless action – rather than the solid storyline and dialogue. And the great thing is — it doesn’t even matter. Reece, […]
Dear John
I was looking forward to seeing Dear John for weeks before seeing the movie, all the time having high hopes. Often times when that’s the case, it doesn’t end up to be as good as you hope. Most romantic movies are unrealistic, and just cheesy. NOT Dear John. If there was a John and Savannah […]

Edge of Darkness
Mel Gibson with Martin Campbell returns from a long drought of staring in a picture with the revenge thriller Edge of Darkness which allows Gibson to do some nice work but falls flat pretty much everywhere else. Gibson plays Craven, a Boston police detective, whose daughter almost instantly upon her return home for a visit […]
When in Rome
It didn’t take long to get a huge stink bomb of a movie this year in 010 and that movie is When in Rome. The movie is so poorly written, is almost devoid of humor, is absolutely absurd, and gets nothing out of a decent slate of talent that made the unfortunate decision of taking […]
