Hey, who didn’t see the trailer and think this was going to be a funny movie?
Boy, do I hate when trailers lie to me. Not that I didn’t laugh during this movie, I did. But, the plot took a surprising turn and then the movie just made no sense. And it wasn’t all that funny. [...]

Finally, a Ben Stiller Movie that isn’t horrible! This was actually a funny little movie. Several good laughs.
But here is an important tip: Don’t come in late. This is a movie where you want to sit through the trailers. Some of the best work is hidden in there.
This is not a politically correct movie (if [...]
Wanted

A mindlessly violent movie with pretty things blowing up and pretty, pretty people doing the blowing up… What more could you want in a summer action movie? The stunts are good, the effects are pretty good, the plot is pointless and it’s a whole lot of fun.
It’s a silly little film about an underdog [...]

I’m a girl. I have girl friends. It was all but inevitable that I would end up going to see this. So, I went.
I hadn’t watched the show all that often, but I knew the basics (4 women, different types, good friends, love of shoes and lots of drinking – those are the basics, right?). [...]
Indian Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Dude – it’s Indiana Jones…INDIANA JONES!. Dude, just go see it. Sure, it’s cheesy and it’s silly and it’s completely over the top. It has mystical elements that make no sense, - but so do all the others…and you loved those, so just go see it!
And best of all – the leading lady is Marian (Karen [...]

Please enjoy them as they appear. We are sorry if they weren’t around to help you make good choices about your summer [...]
The Dark Knight

Ah, the New Batman. Like everyone else in the world (at least according to the box office numbers), I have seen this movie. I actually was lucky enough to see it in IMAX. I’m not sure it makes that much of a difference, but its nice to see a movie on a really, really, big screen. [...]
Mother of Tears (La Terza Madre)

This is the latest horror movie by Dario Argento. He’s a guy who is hailed by many as one of the great horror directors of our time. Frankly, I just don’t get it. This is not the first work of his that I’ve have seen, and this is not considered one of his best (by fans and critics [...]
