What more could one want than a movie full of action from start to finish? Well how about some vulgarity and a little more action that the first. Crank 2 is the sequel to a movie that didn’t need to be made in the first place. While fun and semi enjoyable, it really is just [...]
What are some great dog movies that spring to mind? Old Yeller? My Dog Skip? Where the Red Fern Grows? or maybe, Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey? Well, add Marley & Me to the list. It’ll be a favorite for a long time to come. And yet the funny thing is that this isn’t just [...]
If you pay close enough attention, you’ll notice that nearly every other movie released these days seems to be based on a true story. And after a while you have to wonder if Hollywood will ever run out of true stories to turn into movies. Until then we’ll have to make do with what we [...]
In one corner, weighing in at over 900 pounds of freshly squeezed shame, the recently resigned President of the United States, Richard Milhous Nixon! And, in the other corner, weighing in at just 3 kilos of experience, the British talk-show host and laughingstock of the American media empire, David Frost! That’s how Peter Morgan, the [...]
Ever watch The History Channel? It’s got the H logo in the corner – for history! Every time I go to that channel, it seems to be about Hitler. So often, in fact, that I just call it The Hitler Channel. I mean, how many documentaries can there be about one guy? At least that [...]
Dear Santa,
Why is it that no one seems to know how to make a good Christmas movie anymore? The last holiday film that I truly loved was “Love Actually”, which was released back in 2003. Since then, there have been a few that I liked (”The Family Stone” and “Fred Claus”), but being who you [...]
Boy, 2008 was all over the map in terms of movies. Most of them were torn down with varying degrees of critical hostility and, in the majority of those cases, the hate was justified. From movies like 10,000 B.C. to The Happening, there have been some big stinkers among audiences this year. What follows is [...]
DreamWorks Studios has let out of the bag the second full-length trailer for their upcoming Monsters vs. Aliens. From the creative minds behind Kung Fu Panda and Shrek 2 comes a very comedic animated movie that is sure to make us all laugh.

Frankie and Alice is the latest film starring one of my favorites, Halle Berry. Berry plays a woman with multiple personality disorder. The movie follows her back and forth between two very different personalities, one struggling with severe racism and her real down-to-earth self.
It seems like a cool concept but this may be too much [...]
I will come out and say right away I am not a fan of Ben Stiller. He is not funny in the least bit and really annoys me. With that out of the way, Fox has debuted the teaser trailer for Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian. While the first movie was pretty [...]
You know that person you come across every now and then who’s so determined to not socialize with others because they’re so content with being isolated from civilization? You know that feeling you get where you just want to grab hold of them and shake them around until you can make them come to their [...]
Seven Pounds is a powerful, mysterious film, slow to reveal itself, but engaging all the way. In the opening minutes, we hear Will Smith’s character make a 911 call reporting a suicide – his own – before flashing back to a series of seemingly random, inconsistent, disconnected actions. He tells us that he has shattered [...]
