Reign of Fire

Reign of Fire

What do you get when you cross Mad Max, Dragonslayer and Aliens? You get the futuristic, macho male actioneer Reign of Fire. This picture takes place on Earth in the not so distant future, and finds mankind nearly obliterated by fire breathing dragons. These are not the rare and mystical creatur... [More]

K-19 The Widowmaker

K-19 The Widowmaker

Going into K-19, I wasn't terribly excited. Harrison Ford's track record hasn't been too impressive as of late and the trailer didn't suggest that this picture had anything new to offer to the submarine thriller. After all, Das Boot, Hunt For Red October, Crimson Tide and U571 have taken this genre... [More]

2 Fast 2 Furious

2 Fast 2 Furious

Of all the sequels being released this summer, it seemed that this follow-up to Rob Cohen's moderately enjoyable Fast and the Furious would be the most pointless. Surprisingly, I not only enjoyed this silly little slice of commercial entertainment, I also found it much more lively than the original.... [More]

Seabiscuit

Seabiscuit

In a summer of things that go boom, and big budget visual feasts, the new drama Seabiscuit is, above all, a refreshing change of pace. It also happens to be a beautifully fashioned film with plenty of heart. Taking place during the depression era, this heartwarming movie tells the story of three... [More]

Legally Blonde 2: Red White and Blonde

Legally Blonde 2: Red White and Blonde

Oh boy, where to start? I guess I should start by confessing that I really enjoyed the first Legally Blonde. I found it light, simple and sweet, and felt that the delightful Witherspoon really exuded the charm and likability that needed to come across to make the movie work. Given that the first fil...

Pirates of The Carribean: The Curse of The Black Pearl

Pirates of The Carribean: The Curse of The Black Pearl

For me, the idea of a movie based on the famed Disneyland ride had danger written all over it. I've been to Disneyland hundreds of times and the Pirates of the Carribean attraction has always been one of my favorites. With the recent release of the bizarre Country Bears, I feared the worst. This is... [More]

Bad Boys 2

Bad Boys 2

Way back in 1995, Michael Bay burst onto the scene with Bad Boys, a hyper kinetic thriller that breezed along with a buddy cop film sensibility. At the time, Bay was a veteran in the world of television with several music videos and commercials under his belt, but this was his first foray into movie... [More]

Inspector Gadget

Inspector Gadget

Unfortunately, The Haunting isn't the only lousy film based on previous material in this issue. Inspector Gadget is the latest in a long line of TV inspired messes that should have stayed in development hell. Matthew Broderick plays the mechanical, crime-fighting sleuth and Rupert Everett is Cla... [More]

South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut

South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut

A few years ago, virtual unknowns Matt Stone and Trey Parker unveiled a short cartoon called The Spirit of Christmas at the Sundance Film Festival. It instantly became a festival favorite and caused bidding wars between television networks wanting the rights for a weekly series. Ultimately, Comedy... [More]

Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels

Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels

This debut film from director Guy Ritchie was a huge hit at the Sundance Film Festival. It's a loud, in-your-face crime thriller that borrows heavily from Tarantino's Pulp Fiction and Danny Boyle's Trainspotting. The story takes place in London, where different groups of thugs try to outwit and... [More]

Sex: The Anabel Chong Story

Sex: The Anabel Chong Story

Before you skip over this review, it should be noted that there is more to this film than meets the eye. Yes it's true, Chong is anything but wholesome. In fact, her claim to fame, aside from starring in numerous adult films, was by having sex with over 250 men in ten hours. Why do you ask? Film... [More]

American Movie

American Movie

This immensely entertaining documentary from Chris Smith won the award for Best Documentary at the festival. It follows the life of Mark Borchardt, a young, exuberant man hell-bent on making a forty minute film entitled Coven so he can finance his dream project, Northwestern. Borchardt makes for a...

Varsity Blues

Varsity Blues

Varsity Blues has the distinct pleasure of being one of the worst sports films I've ever seen--even surpassing Major League 3. James Van Der Beek (Dawson's Creek) plays a high school football player who is loved by everyone. The only problem is that he wants an academic career instead of a gridiro... [More]

Lost and Found

Lost and Found

You have got to be joking--David Spade in a romantic lead? He co-wrote and starred in this would-be comedy that started off promising, but then the plot set in. Spade plays a good-hearted restaurant owner who falls in love with a French cellist, played by the beautiful Sophie Marceau (Bravehear... [More]

Entrapment

Entrapment

James Bond is back, only this time he isn't 007 but Robert Mac MacDougal--art thief extraordinaire. Sean Connery plays Mac, a thief who has been in the business for a very long time. He teams up with the fiery Catherine Zeta-Jones (Mask of Zorro) for the ultimate heist. This film is full of th... [More]
