What if everyone told the truth all the time? But – no one knew it was ‘the truth’ because there was no such thing as lying. And what if you were the only one that had the ability, or even knew what it meant, to lie. Think of the power! mwhaha! Think of the stories [...]

From the time  Whiteout starts ’til the credits role an hour and a half later, you are reminded of three things: Antarctica is cold. It snows a lot in Antarctica. Antarctica is beautiful and deadly because of the cold and snow in Antarctica. From beautiful snowy landscape to deadly swirling snowy landscape, these three things [...]

I was eagerly anticipating this movie as I’m a big fan of Jason Bateman’s understated comedic approach… and Mila Kunis’ understated hotness. And yet, neither could save this film. It was, in my opinion, just plain dumb. While writer and director Mike Judge usually does a great job depicting the humorous banality of everyday life [...]

How do you go head to head with one of the summer’s most anticipated blockbuster movies? You do it by crafting a masterpiece on family dynamics that should draw everyone but teenage boys and young adult males.

Boom Boom Clap, Boom Dee Clap, Dee Clap. It’s the  hip-hop, hoedown throwdown. (see what I’m talking about here.) Hip-hop and country. Like the Hannah Montana‘s theme song says, “You get the best of both worlds.” Ten minutes before the movie started, the two rows of what looked to be 14-year-old girls started singing the [...]

2008 finished with three WWII films (Miracle at St. Anna, Boy in the Striped Pajamas, and Valkyrie), and 2009 continues the trend with Defiance. Even though Striped Pajamas had the least amount of action, I would say it was by far the strongest of the four films with Defiance coming in a close 2nd. But [...]
