Tropic Thunder Movie Review
No movie in recent years has poked fun at, mocked and downright dragged the good name of Hollywood through the mud, laughing all the way quite like “Tropic Thunder”. In a time when theaters are overpopulated by comedies that somehow have Judd Apatow’s name attached to them, “Tropic Thunder” is…

10. August 2008
Let me clear the air by saying that I was unwillingly dragged to see “Mamma Mia!”, the latest Hollywood interpretation of a stage musical. Clearly, I’m not the type of person the people behind the film adaptation of “Mamma Mia!” were trying to please. People like me, who are generally against…

“The Dark Knight“. Say it, savor it, revel in it. For the past year, ever since we saw the very first teaser for “The Dark Knight“, which was entirely comprised of character voice-overs and an ominous blue light slowly illuminating a gradually deteriorating Bat symbol, this has been the movie to see…

He’s hungover when we first meet him. With two empty bottles of alcohol rolling in the wind slightly underneath the public bench he’s sleeping on, and another bottle hanging loosely from one of his hands, his ragged and dirty clothes give him the appearance of a homeless man. Nobody seems…

11. July 2008
Eddie Murphy does three types of films - voice over work as Donkey in Shrek, bad movies such as last years Norbit, and fun family movies such as Doctor Dolittle. Murphy’s latest movie comes in the form of Meet Dave and it falls squarely into the “fun family movie” category. Meet…

I hope you are all having a wonderful summer of movie fun. This week boys and girls I am going to talk to you about Hellboy II: The Golden Army, a sequel to 2004’s Hellboy. Just like the first movie, this one is written and directed by Guillermo del Toro with…

4. July 2008
If you work in any sort of service to the public, your fate is not your own. And our characters in this film, The Promotion, have very little control over their own fate. The film opens with the main character, Doug (Sean William Scott, or “Stifler”, for some of you),…

Pixar knows how to deliver and they didn’t miss one step when it comes to WALL-E. This love story disguised as a sci-fi/animated movie delivers the laughs and the romance for the whole family to enjoy. Earth has been abandoned for 700 years as the planet was consumed with waste from the materialistic mentality…

Mike Myers had everything going against him going into “The Love Guru.” He’d been absent from the big screen for five years, last working on “The Cat in the Hat” in 2003 to settle a lawsuit between him a Universal, cashing in on the “Shrek” franchise. The previews for “Guru”…

First I would like to say that going into this film, I really wanted to cheer for M. Night, because as of lately all the douche bags have come out of the woodwork to pick on his films and how they have gone down hill. “The Lady in the Water was…

The summer of 2008 will be known as the starting point for something great. This will be the time we look back and see how Marvel Comics was able to take their properties and move them forward into one big movie universe. Some will say Spider-Man started it, but it…
