Click

Click

Click is the latest Adam Sandler vehicle and like most of his films, it's sure to make a crap-load of money. Too bad it's not all that good. Which isn't to suggest that it's "Little Nicky-bad," there's no doubt it has it's moments (the film's funniest joke is made at the expense of tic tacs), but ov... [More]

Duck Season

Duck Season

Agony to sit through. Slow, dull, and lazy. Two fourteen year olds, Flama (Daniel Miranda) and Moko (Diego Catano), spend the day alone while Flama's mother takes off for the day and evening. They spend time eating snacks and playing violent video games until 16-year-old neighbor Rita (Danny Perea)... [More]

Annapolis

Annapolis

Annapolis does not break any new ground or uncover any dramatic kinks in its military armor. Dirt-poor and emotionally scarred shipbuilder Jake Huard (James Franco) wants to go to Annapolis. He promised his mother on her deathbed! He's got lousy grades and no political clout, but his persistence get... [More]

The Devil Wears Prada

The Devil Wears Prada

As you all know, this is based on the bestselling novel "The Devil Wears Prada" by Lauren Weisberger, a thinly-veiled expose of her tenure working for Vogue magazine's ruler Anna Wintour. I just dropped my subscription to Vogue. I hated reading it – the heavy-furniture editing and the constant s... [More]

The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift

The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift

Because no one seems to understand why gorgeous 30-year old teachers have sex with their pre-teen and teenage male students, I will reveal the reason: Some boys ooze testosterone. You can smell it. You can tell they are only thinking about sex: sex with women, sex with old women, sex with furniture,... [More]

Nacho Libre

Nacho Libre

Nacho Libre is the sophomore effort from Napoleon Dynamite creator Jared Hess. Napoleon divide audiences. People either found it funny or stupid. Personally, I found the film hilarious. In fact, I downright loved it. I have a simple gauge for this particular genre. If I find myself reciting lines f... [More]

Strangers With Candy

Strangers With Candy

Strangers With Candy is based on the cult HBO classic of the same name. While this show might be foreign to many folks out there, the high profile cameos in the picture (Matthew Broderick, Sarah Jessica Parker, Allison Janney, Philip Seymour Hoffman, etc.) and the presence of the increasingly popula...

Lake House

Lake House

Lake House offers a reunion of those two Speedy kids from yesteryear (13 yesteryears, if you can believe it) Sandra Bulloch and Keanu Reeves. It's funny how time slips away, in fact in Lake House (directed by Alejandro Agresti) time seems to be doing all kinds of wacky stuff. Lake House is a surpris... [More]

The Omen

The Omen

The Omen is yet another remake, and as far as I can tell, the primary reason for it having been made is because the sly marketing department thought it would be clever to release the picture on 06/06/06. Based on Richard Donner's 1976 film, The Omen tells the tale of happily married Robert and K... [More]

The Break Up

The Break Up

It will certainly be interesting to see how the human race responds to this film. Advertised as a comedy (something of a dark comedy perhaps) but a comedy nonetheless, The Break Up never finds any kind of consistent comic footing. If it succeeds (which, given the reaction of the sold-out screening I... [More]

See No Evil

See No Evil

See No Evil has a simple agenda. It isn't art and it isn't a striking return to the horror genre. No, it's sole purpose is to appease fans of wrestling giant Kane (aka Glen Jacobs), and on that level, this ludicrous slice of slash-o-rama, gleefully succeeds. Not that the so-called plot really ma... [More]

X-Men 3: The Last Stand

X-Men 3: The Last Stand

X-Men 3: The Last Stand wasn't the train wreck I was expecting. It's convoluted and rushed to be sure, but there's a lot in there that I really enjoyed. I think going in with low expectations helped. Firstly, I'd like to say that I did not follow the comics. I have a basic knowledge of the X-Me... [More]

Brick

Brick

Brick is an experiment in cinematic style that's success or failure will depend entirely on the a film-goers willingness to give themselves over to director Rian Johnson's vision. The film scores big points in the areas of originality, faith in the intelligence of film lovers, and one giant juxtapos... [More]

The Da Vinci Code

The Da Vinci Code

The night before The Da Vinci Code opened, I was lucky enough to take in a 25th anniversary screening of Raiders of the Lost Ark at a local theater. Who am I kidding. I sat through Spielberg's masterpiece three times in less than a week. I can't get enough of that movie. What does "Raiders" have to... [More]

Poseidon

Poseidon

Poseidon is a loose remake of the 1972 Irwin Allen, all-star disaster epic. I say loose, because, aside from the basic premise and the name of the ship (damn! No Shelly Winters), everything else has changed to keep pace with the times, both in terms of social commentary and technology. The set u... [More]
