This predictable teeny bopper aimed spin on Snow White has its moments if you are a dork and supplies some decent laughs from time to time if you know what you are getting into.The film is entirely predictable and nothing will really surprise you here, but if you are sitting down to watch this you […]

National Treasure: Book of Secrets

Posted: February 11, 2008 at 2:48 pm   /   Local, Movie Reviews

The follow up to the entertaining box-office hit plays to the dim-witted and oblivious to create a laughable film that some how remains watchable and entertaining to an extent.Checking your mind at the door is a stupid way to appraise a film, but in this case it might be worth it because the film plays […]

Mike Cahill creates a character based comedy that works and holds interest but plods along and doesn’t suck us in like it should for most of the film.The premise sounds fun, and is at times, but it is very deliberately paced and feels far longer then its hour and a half run time. The movie […]
