Sky High

Sky High

If John Hughes had directed a live action version of The Incredibles and had it take place at Hogwarts, it might have turned out a little like Disney's Sky High, a surprisingly entertaining superhero romp that, despite some clunky direction, delighted me in ways that the recent Fantastic Floor (I re...

Comic Con Report 2

Comic Con Report 2

After a good night's sleep in San Ysidro, it was time for Day 2. We actually got to the Convention Center at about 10:15 A.M., approximately forty five minutes before the Warner Brothers presentation was to start. This particular presentation would take place in the enormous Hall H, a massive ballro... [More]

Stealth

Stealth

Stealth is a silly, half-baked actioneer that dares to fuse the obvious, but entertaining mechanics of Top Gun with the intellectual characteristics of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, and it pretty much fails on both levels. Oddly enough, I got to see the first half of this picture at ShoWe... [More]

Bad News Bears

Bad News Bears

The Bad News Bears was originally a terrific Walter Matthau vehicle from way back in our nation's bi-centennial. Some of you, I'm sure, remember the original - not quite a classic, but a hell of a fun underdog story featuring a washed-up old dog of an alcoholic (Matthau) who is coerced into helming... [More]

Dark Water

Dark Water

If a creepy tone and a soggy tenement building were all it took to make a good spook-fest, then Dark Water would be the best flick of it's kind since The Sixth Sense. The film comes to America by way of a circuitous set of foreign circumstances. Dark Water is the latest Americanized revamp of belove... [More]

Murderball

Murderball

Murderball is an affecting and endlessly fascinating documentary that revolves around the lives of a rare breed of wheelchair-bound quadriplegics who find meaning in life thanks to rough and tumble sport called Murderball. The sport is kind of a cross between Rugby and Basketball, officially recogni... [More]

The Island

The Island

The Island is a film I went to check out without much expectation. Strangely, there hasn't been a surfeit of buzz surrounding this movie. Generally, when a Bay flick hits theaters, it's after months of an enormous marketing blitz. Not the case here. Ultimately though, that's a good thing. The lower... [More]

Wedding Crashers

Wedding Crashers

I've heard that people are starting to call this the sleeper hit of the year. Firstly, I don't think a film that cost tens of millions of dollars and stars the likes of Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn and Christopher Walken, would really qualify in that category. Regardless, people are maybe expecting thi... [More]

Comic Con 2005

Comic Con 2005

So Comic Con 2005 has come to an end, and as usual, it boasted an impressive four day line up of top notch events for comic book fans of all ages. Of course being the movie geek I am, I hit the festivities for the film related items which have become a mainstay at the legendary convention. This y... [More]

Red-Eye

Red-Eye

Red Eye is the latest thriller from horror veteran Wes Craven. It could be best described as Cellular meets Panic Room meets Collateral meets - AIRPLANE! Of course the Airplane-like lunacy is purely unintentional. Having said that, I didn't flat out hate this silly, but well paced movie. It had it's... [More]

Charlie and The Chocolate Factory - Imax

Charlie and The Chocolate Factory - Imax

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a visual stunner that, from what I recall, does attempt to be a little more faithful to the book than the 1971 film that starred the wonderful Gene Wilder, but somehow, it doesn't quite maintain the same sort of magic. Not for me anyway. That's not to say that I... [More]

Herbie: Fully Loaded

Herbie: Fully Loaded

Start your engines! Herbie, the most beloved car star of them all, is back. Maggie Peyton (Lindsay Lohan, the new owner of Number 53 -- the free-wheelin' Volkswagen bug with a mind of its own -- puts the car through its paces on the road to becoming a NASCAR competitor. As a third-generation member... [More]

Fantastic Four

Fantastic Four

Fantastic Four is the first bonafide high profile stinker of the summer movie season. This is all the more disconcerting taking into consideration that I had low expectations going in to begin with. Even my most meager expectations failed to be reached Based on the comic book of the same name, Fa... [More]

Hustle and Flow

Hustle and Flow

Hustle and Flow is a terrifically entertaining film and even though the trailers suggest it might be similar to a movie like 8 Mile, it actually has more in common with underdog pictures such as Rocky and The Karate Kid. The amazing Terrence Howard (who delivered a beautifully nuanced performance... [More]
