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 [...]

Let me just say two things right from the beginning. I did not see this with Thing One or Thing Two, and I did not pick this movie.
This was a heavy handed, preachy movie with a twist that was given away in the trailer. This took away what little fun might have been available. You [...]

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. [...]
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 [...]

I saw the trailer and I thought this looked terrible. Really terrible. But, then it got fairly good reviews, and I rethought the whole thing. They said that the 3-D effect made it worth while. That, and the fact that it was a short zippy little film.
Truth be told, I’m feeling a little betrayed by the [...]

This is a PG-13 rated slasher flick. Ugh. That seems like a contradiction. Slasher film and PG13, huh? But, there you go. That should tell you somthing. What is the point of a slasher flick, if you can’t really have any real violence? I’ve actually seen more gore on House or CSI.
There were no thrills, there were no chills, and [...]

Someone needs to take the Farrelly Bothers to task. One of you wrote a book called “Comedy Writer.” Well, you didn’t even have to waste your relentless genius on writing this work (Based on Neil Simon – who can genuinely be funny).
It seemed to rely on gross-out pandering tits and ass and base funny to stand [...]
