Munich

Munich

Munich is something of a cold cinematic experience. Not the type of film you might expect from Steven Spielberg who, just six short months ago, delivered the summer blockbuster War of the Worlds. Munich is a much different kind of picture and easily the most non Spielbergian film of Spielberg's e... [More]

Cheaper By The Dozen 2

Cheaper By The Dozen 2

This follow up to the 2003 comedy about the expansive nuclear family of a down home minded football coach finds the family this time spending one last summer at a traditional lake haunt before the kids are all married and off upon lives of their own. The inspired pairing of Steve Martin and Bonnie H... [More]

Wolf Creek

Wolf Creek

Wolf Creek is a low budget horror import from Australia and it reminded me of nearly every genre flick I've ever seen, particularly the ones from the 70's (think Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes). This new thriller from writer/director Greg McLean made it's stateside debut at Sundan... [More]

Fun With Dick and Jane

Fun With Dick and Jane

Dick and Jane are in love, they're young, they're very successful - pretty much living the American dream. That is until one morning when they wake up to find they're living the American nightmare. Everything changes overnight when the enormous financial corporation that Dick (Jim Carrey) works for... [More]

Rumor Has It

Rumor Has It

Rumor has it that Rumor Has It had it's share of turbulance on it's way into this year's glut of Christmas fare. Screenwriter Ted Griffin (Matchstick Men) was set to direct his love letter to The Graduate, but was mysteriously replaced by Rob Reiner shortly after production began. Ironic in several... [More]

The Ringer

The Ringer

The Ringer looks like the type of film that might test the bounds of political correctness, and at times, it does. For the most part though, this is a surprisingly sweet film and much of the credit for that should go to those nutty Farrelly Brothers who produced the film. The Farrellys have walked t... [More]

The Brothers Grimm

The Brothers Grimm

The Brother's Grimm will always be tied in my mind with director Terry Gilliams's 2002 documentary Lost In Lamancha. The fascinating documentary chronicled the hundreds of little things that can go from problems to obstacles to insurmountable barriers, during the film making process. While trying to... [More]

Stage Beauty

Stage Beauty

Stage Beauty is a fascinating look at London in the mid 15th Century. A time when female roles in the theater were performed by men and it was unlawful for women to perform on stage. The story centers around a real actor named Ned Kynaston who was celebrated as the finest and most beautiful actor to... [More]

Inside Deep Throat

Inside Deep Throat

Inside Deep Throat, certainly sounds like a sequel to the landmark skin flick, but you'll actually find it shelved among the regular videos and not in that little alcove with the beaded curtain. Documentarians Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato (The Eyes of Tammy Faye, Party Monster) have stitched toge... [More]

The Family Stone

The Family Stone

The Yuletide season has a history of producing an array of family comedies displaying the dysfunctional (Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Home For the Holidays) the magical (Miracle on 34th Street) and the truly insane (Bad Santa, Santa Clause: The Movie). This time around we are given a film trying... [More]

Pride and Prejudice

Pride and Prejudice

Miraculously, for the entirety of my 45 years here on earth, I have somehow managed to avoid seeing so much as a channel-surfing snippet of Jane Austen's beloved Pride and Prejudice. No easy task as it has seen countless filmed incarnations (this one making the third in the past 2 years). Being a fa... [More]

Valiant

Valiant

First of all I cannot number myself among the legions of movie goers ready to offer their unconditional love to the dozens of animated features aimed at the kiddies, but with enough "over the head" bits to keep mom and dad from "just resting their eyes." When they're good (Toy Story, Shrek, Finding... [More]

Millions

Millions

The most fascinating part of Millions came for me after the film was over. You see I had no idea it was directed by the great chameleon of cinema Danny Boyle and once I'd found that out, I decided to watch it again. The second time through I have to confess I was watching it through different eyes.... [More]

King Kong

King Kong

King Kong is a true spectacle of a motion picture. It really has it all; action, drama, romance, humor, and, of course, eye popping special effects. I guess the real question though, is it any damn good? The answer is yes, it is a good movie. However, I wouldn't call it a great movie - I'm afraid it... [More]

Ice Harvest

Ice Harvest

Ice Harvest is one of the true, undiscovered treasures of the holiday season. An edgy, often hilarious film noir piece written by Robert Benton and Richard Russo (Nobody's Fool, Empire Falls), and directed by "of all people" Harold Ramis (Groundhog Day). With the underrated Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang also... [More]
