Eagle Eye

Eagle Eye

If Michael Bay had directed War Games, it might have ended up a little like Eagle Eye, a supercharged, preposterously drawn thriller that requires a little suspension of disbelief. No, scratch that. It requires A LOT OF SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF! In Eagle Eye, Shia LaBeouf plays Jerry Shaw, an un... [More]

Forever Strong

Forever Strong

I'm a big sucker for a rousing underdog sports film. Rocky, Rudy, Hoosiers, Invincible, etc. I love them all. Taking a cue from the likes of We Are Marshall, and Friday Night Lights, Forever Strong emerges as an earnest attempt at the underdog sports film, only here the choice sport is one very rare...

Burn "After Reading

Burn "After Reading

The cynical, but incredibly funny Burn After Reading is sure to divide audiences. But then, I'd expect nothing less from the Coen Brothers. Coming off their Oscar winning No Country For Old Men, the sibling auteurs have switched gears with this smart comedy about dumb people. The goofy plot rev... [More]

Lakeview Terrace

Lakeview Terrace

I'm a huge fan of Neil LaBute. I didn't dig on Wicker Man so much, but his early stuff – most notably In the Company Men – is amazing. I find his provocative take on the darker side of human nature quite fascinating. With the new thriller Lakeview Terrace, LaBute tries to balance an expose on race r... [More]

The Errand of Angels

The Errand of Angels

This new film from Excel Entertainment is reminiscent of The Best Two Years, only The Errand of Angels tells the story of a mission experience from a sister's point of view. In Errand of Angels, Erin Chambers plays Rachel Taylor, an eager, idealistic woman serving an LDS mission in Austria. She'... [More]

The House Bunny

The House Bunny

If Revenge of the Nerds was told from the Omega Moo perspective with a spoonful of Legally Blonde thrown in for good measure, it might look something like The House Bunny, the latest dopey comedy from the folks at Happy Madison Productions. Anna Faris stars as the clueless Shelley Darlingson, a... [More]

Babylon A.D.

Babylon A.D.

What do Children of Men, Total Recall, Blade Runner, Minority Report, Escape From New York, The Terminator, and star Vin Diesel's own Chronicles of Riddick all have in common? They're all better movies that Babylon A.D. shamelessly borrows from. In this futuristic tale, Vin Diesel plays Toorop,... [More]

Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Listen, I'm not going to spend a lot of time on this one. Some might argue that it's my duty as a writer to do so, but as far as I'm concerned, Lucas clearly didn't put very much effort into the making of this film, so why should I waste a lot of time talking about it. Firstly, I don't hate Geor... [More]

The Rocker

The Rocker

I actually got a look at The Rocker way back in June at CineVegas, and while their isn't anything particularly awful about it, it isn't exactly memorable either. The Rocker is a pleasant enough diversion but it's not as entertaining as School of Rock or Rockstar, the two pictures it clearly app... [More]

Tropic Thunder

Tropic Thunder

Until just recently, 2008 was a pretty weak year for comedies. Forgetting Sarah Marshall was a winner to be sure, but beyond that, I'd be hard pressed to come up with any other titles, pre-July, that left any sort of long lasting impression. Now, with the summer coming to an end, we've been graced w... [More]

Pineapple Express

Pineapple Express

Are you ready for yet another Judd Apatow production? After the minor set back that was Drillbit Taylor, the producer is back in full swing with Forgetting Sarah Marshall and the righteous stoner comedy Pineapple Express. In Pineapple Express, Seth Rogen is Dale Denton, a slacker with an affinit... [More]

The Fly Boys

The Fly Boys

Yes, it's true. The Fly Boys, not to be confused with the World War 1 film from 2006, is finally making it's theatrical bow. What makes the film so special? Well, aside from being shot locally by St. George's very own Rocco DeVilliers, it has thrills, edge, and a lot of heart. In The Fly Boys,... [More]

Young @ Heart

Young @ Heart

Do you remember the first time you heard Johnny Cash cover Nine Inch Nails' Hurt? Listening to senior citizens belt out uncharacteristic rock songs in the wonderfully charming (and inspirational) documentary Young@Heart sort of reminded me of listening to Cash sing that song. These sweet-natured ind... [More]

Mamma Mia!

Mamma Mia!

The Mamma Mia stage production has been dazzling audiences for years, so it seemed like only a matter of time before the Abba inspired musical would make the leap to the big screen. Alas, it has finally arrived, in all it's fluffy, incompetent grandeur. Truth be told I'm not exactly the target audie... [More]

The Dark Knight

The Dark Knight

At the risk of sounding absolutely pretentious, The Dark Knight is just about as amazing as you've been hearing. It does have flaws, but those flaws are minimal. This film achieves greatness in ways I wasn't expecting. At the very least, The Dark Knight will rank high among the year's very best fi... [More]
