The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
“The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” is the third film adapted from the Twilight phenomenon, springing from the bestselling series of novels. Following the trend of ‘Twilight’ films getting better each time, ‘Eclipse’ is no exception. ‘Eclipse’ revolves around Bella (Kristen Stewart), a human living in a world surrounded by vampires and werewolves. Of course, it doesn’t […]
Grown Ups
Grown Ups tells the story of five friends who were inseparable growing up, but have drifted apart over the years. Unfortunately, it feels more like an SNL cast member reunion show than a solid film, and lacks any serious focus. The film opens with a flashback of a championship grade school basketball game. The team […]
Knight and Day
The top of the A-list doesn’t go much higher than Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. Both of the stars of Knight and Day have topped the highest paid actors list for their gender. Lately, through a series of missteps in PR both have seen their star status dim. Is this the beginning of a comeback […]
Toy Story 3
Toy Story 3 seems to be self aware of its nostalgia factor for some adults. Most of the children who loved the original film are now in their twenties. (Scary thought, I know!) It is absolutely fitting that we start the film in the imagination of the owner of Woody and Buzz, Andy. We are […]
Jonah Hex
The latest, and possibly most under the radar, comic book film this summer is the adaptation of Jonah Hex and the results are a mixed bag as the films focus seems to be in a lot of wrong places. Hex is a Confederate soldier of some rank but when he turns on his regiment and […]
Solitary Man

The A-Team
This week is an odd weekend in summer blockbuster territory, where a battle between reboots and remakes is being waged. First up is The A-Team a remake of the popular 1980s television show of the same name, most popular for familiarizing the public with Mr. T and his catchphrase “I pity the fool.” The A-Team, […]
Killers
Katherine Heigl shooting blanks again in her latest romantic comedy ‘KILLERS’, only this time she is dragging down Ashton Kutcher with her. I guess it was obvious when Heigl left television we would see more of her on the big screen. She teams again with director Robert Luketic (The Ugly Truth) on a 2010 version […]
Marmaduke
If I was to tell you that there was a new film with Owen Wilson, Fergie, William H. Macy, George Lopez Keifer Sutherland and Emma Stone in it you would be in line to buy tickets by now. That is until I tell you the only one acting is Macy. Tom Dey who last worked […]
