The Duchess - Review

Saturday, September 27, 2008

The English “Period Piece” is one of my least favorite film genres. Dangerous Liaisons is the one such film that I really love. The Duchess is not only an English period piece set in the 18th Century, but also stars one of my least favorite actresses, Keira Knightley. I realize that she was the 2nd [...]

Star Wars: Clone Wars - Review

I fell in love with movies as a 7 year old boy, sitting in Philadelphia’s last “movie palace”, completely mesmerized by Star Wars. I’ve anxiously awaited every Star Wars movie made since. I felt sad after the release of Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, thinking that I would never have another Star Wars film [...]

Swing Vote - Review

Tuesday, July 29, 2008

With this being an election year in which the American public must choose between two candidates that could not be more different, the timing is perfect for a movie like Swing Vote. In Swing Vote a Presidential election literally comes down one person’s vote, and the saying that every vote counts was never more true. [...]

Meet Dave-Review

What has happened to Eddie Murphy? Do we really need to see “Eddie Murphy, in Eddie Murphy, in Meet Dave”? He doesn’t even resemble the man who was the greatest stand-up comedian I’ve ever seen and has made the three funniest movies I’ve ever seen (48 hours, Coming to American, & Beverly Hills Cop). His [...]

Hellboy II: The Golden Army - Review

Wednesday, July 9, 2008

The original Hellboy was only a minor success, and a mediocre film, raking in $99 million world wide on a $60 million budget. A sequel was not a certainty. Thanks to brisk DVD sales and the subsequent success of director Guillermo Del Toro’s Pans Labyrinth, the green light was given to Hellboy II: The Golden [...]

Journey to the Center of the Earth 3-D - Review

I’ve never read the book “A Journey to the Center of the Earth”, or seen any of the previous movies it spawned. As I watched the trailer for the latest incarnation of Journey to the Center of the Earth, and saw that it was an action film starring Brendan Fraser, with dinosaurs, AND filmed in [...]

The Wackness - Review

Tuesday, July 1, 2008

0 Comments

The Wackness is set against the backdrop of New York City circa 1994. Rap music was dominating the airwaves, and Biggie Smalls was a new artist. Rudy Gullaiani has just begun his first term as Mayor, with a tough anti-crime stance that included crackdowns on relatively minor offenses such as graffiti, turnstile jumping, and aggressive [...]

Hancock - Review

Tuesday, July 1, 2008

1 Comment

Will Smith kicks off the 4th of July holiday early with the July 2nd release of Hancock, the kind of action packed summer blockbuster that he hasn’t done in a few years. With comic book superheroes dominating the box office, he is taking a risk by making an original superhero movie, without the built-in fan [...]
