Csa: Confederate States of America

Csa: Confederate States of America

Have you ever watched those interesting and informative documentaries on the History Channel? CSA is one of those. The catch here is that The Confederate States of America is an audacious mockumentary that shows what could have been had the South won the Civil War. Firstly, I must admit that I'm... [More]

Ellie Parker

Ellie Parker

Ellie Parker generated substantial buzz during the earlier part of the Sundance this year, so I was quite curious to see what actor turned director Scott Coffey had up his sleeve. As it turns out, not a whole hell of a lot. Don't get me wrong. Ellie Parker isn't worthless, but there have been countl... [More]

Walk The Line

Walk The Line

Walk the Line is an effective bio pic on the late musician Johnny Cash, and while it is certainly structured like Taylor Hackford's Ray from last year, it remains an insightful take on a truly gifted artist. Fueling the film are two outstanding leads - Joaquin Phoenix, who magically conjures up the... [More]

Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire

Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is the fourth chapter in the series based on J.K. Rowling's uber-popular books and in addition to a darker edge (one on par with last year's Prisoner of Azkaban), this Potter adventure arrives with a PG-13 rating (a surprising MPAA decision--a similar one the boar...

New York Doll

New York Doll

New York Doll is the best film of the year. I can't think of a better way to start this review. It's touching, it's funny, it's heartbreaking, and it's inspirational, but most of all, it's truthful. I actually had an opportunity to see this movie back in January at the Sundance Film Festival and was... [More]

Dominion: The Prequel To The Exorcist

Dominion: The Prequel To The Exorcist

First there was Godzilla Vs Rodan, then Beethoven vs Chopin, now we have the Satanic Verses Hollywoodland style. It's true that Satan never put so many quivering asses in so many red velvet seats than he did with the Exorcist. And in Hollywood's never ending quest to cash in where cash has once upon... [More]

Derailed

Derailed

Derailed marks the American debut for Swedish filmmaker Mikael Hafstrom, whose film will undoubtedly profit from a bit of fortunate timing, as it features Jennifer Aniston in her first post-Pitt appearance. Derailed revolves around a successful advertising executive, played by an uncharacteristicall... [More]

Zathura

Zathura

Zathura is a new family adventure from Jon Favreau, the director responsible for Swingers and Made. This hip film maker has since delved into more family oriented terrain with Elf and this new effort based on the novel by Chris Van Allsburg (who also penned the similarly themed Jumanji as well as Po...

Good Night, and Good Luck

Good Night, and Good Luck

Good Night, and Good Luck is a provocative glimpse into the news business during the 50's, and marks the second directing effort from actor George Clooney. What is most impressive about the subject matter is how timeless it is. And in fact, the issues dealt with in this picture couldn't be any more... [More]

Two for The Money

Two for The Money

Brandon Lang is a former college football star whose uncanny ability to predict the outcome of sporting events introduces him to an unexpected new career. When his gridiron prospects are sidelined by a crushing injury, Brandon's talent makes him a prime candidate for recruitment by Walter Abraham,... [More]

Weather Man

Weather Man

Weather Man comes to us courtesy of Gore Verbinsky, director of Pirates of the Carribean and you wouldn't ever suspect it given the tone of this film. That is good given this film is not for children but a brooding and dreary meditation on both the attitudes of present day culture and the confusion... [More]

Jarhead

Jarhead

Jarhead (based on the 2003 best selling book by real life marine Anthony Swofford) is a haunting war film, but with a twist. When I say twist, I don't mean in a Sixth Sense sort of way. This is entirely different, and for those who followed Desert Storm as it was happening, it probably won't come as... [More]

Dreamer

Dreamer

Dreamer is the sort of unabashed charmer that only some sort of serial creep could come away from without a little wisp of cotton candy trailing from their cardiovascular vicinity. Dreamer plays it to the grandstands more so than any film in recent memory, but thanks to solid acting by a reliable ca... [More]

Chicken Little

Chicken Little

Chicken Little is ironically a bit of a "sky is falling" panic test for our old friends at Disney. Having fallen upon rocky times with Pixar, Chicken Little is Disney's way of playing chicken with the geniuses behind The Incredibles and the Toy Stories - to see if they can make successful computer a... [More]

The Legend of Zorro

The Legend of Zorro

The Legend of Zorro is set a decade after the conclusion of the previous adventure. Alejandro (Antonio Banderas) and Elena (Catherine Zeta-Jones) are married and have a 10-year-old son, Joaquin (Adrian Alonso). Though Alejandro continues to don the mask of Zorro to protect the poor and oppressed res... [More]
