I confess myself disappointed. Alright, I never had high hopes for “My Sister’s Keeper” in the first place, but nonetheless I sucked it up and went into the movie expecting a decent movie regardless. You could say I’m disappointed because there were moments during the movie that actually showed potential and served as windows that [...]
Not to worry, all my fellow Potter phobes, the theatrical release for the long-awaited “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” still remains July 15th, but those planning on experiencing the sixth installment in IMAX 3-D will have to wait two extra weeks to do so. This time, if you’re looking for someone to blame, take [...]
Hey, everyone. After a long freshman year at college, I’m back full-time to review summer movies. Let’s start with X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
Many people’s hatred for this fourth film set in the X-Men universe has been made abundantly clear by now. However, I for one found this summer kick-off which focuses primarily on Wolverine to be [...]
I must admit that I haven’t seen many of Quentin Tarantino’s films, but his latest entitled Inglorious Basterds seems to have just claimed a spot on my “To See” list in 2009. From the looks of the film’s first trailer below, Inglorious Basterds will undoubtedly appeal to the legions of Tarantino fans, sporting unique dialogue [...]
It’s no mystery that many found 2008 to be a relatively lackluster year, with the majority of the films released receiving mediocre reviews at best. So, whenever a really good or truly great movie came along, it was a real delight. Such movies included titles like Iron Man and of course, The Dark Knight. But [...]
Last night, the 14th Annual Critics’ Choice Awards aired on VH1, and it was met with tumultuous applause. Well, at least one particular award was and I’ll give you three guesses which, but you’re only going to need one.
Of course, I’m talking about the late Heath Ledger receiving a standing ovation after the actor won [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Gone are all the high-tech gadgets, flashy and weapon-equipped cars and even the trademark line “Bond, James Bond”. Everything that many Bond fans remember and associate the spy series with has indeed been dropped and replaced with more realistic and modern-day elements as a way to reinvent the series. But probably the most notable change [...]
The genre of the cop film seems to have become a dumping ground for film critics, and while I do acknowledge the fact that any movie dealing with the Boys in Blue released these days do follow the same basic formula, my belief is that whether or not the film is good lies in the [...]
