Well, what is there to say about this movie? Very little. This review is late, so plenty of people have had time to say it better and probably funnier. Still I feel an obligation to write something, so here goes.
This movie is exactly what you expect. And incomprehensible mess about guys driving fast cards, doing [...]

We went to see the afternoon showing of “Watchmen” and I have never been so happy to step out into a warm, sunny afternoon, then I was when we left that movie. It took a lot of sunlight tow wipe that dark apocalyptic, depressing vision out of my head. It was a long, dark movie [...]
Taken

Well, this is a little action movie with an actor you don’t expect to be an action star. Unfortunately, there was nothing new in this movie. Nothing you haven’t seen before. I admit it was refreshing to have a straightforward villain for once. No corporate issue, just a man taking young girls and selling them into [...]

Wow. Thing One and Thing Two told me to be ready for a very violent movie, but I was not as prepared as I should have been. The beginning and the end were pretty good, but there seemed to be a fair bit missing in the middle (Thing Two is looking forward to the extended [...]

I am swearing off movies based on video games.
This one was on par with Hitman, better than Silent Hill, but Below Lara Croft Tomb Raider (and far below or above, depending on your perspective, my secret-favorite, “Alone in the Dark”. I love to watch Tara Reid pretend to be smart).
This movie was not good. At [...]

On a Sunday afternoon, we couldn’t find anything better to do – and so, we decided that we would go see this movie (myself, Thing 1 and Thing 2). After the movie, we were sure we could have found something better to do. Almost anything might have been better than that. (Although, I can honestly [...]

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 [...]
