Enemy at The Gates

Enemy at The Gates

Saving Private Ryan certainly has raised the standard for war films. Truth be told, going into Enemy at the Gates, I figured I was in for a barrage of Saving Private Ryan rehash, especially after reading reviews about this new "WWII thriller." Aside from the opening battle sequence (in which young s... [More]

Exit Wounds

Exit Wounds

It seems like just yesterday, I had the honor of attending a test screening of a flick called Above the Law starring a then unknown Steven Seagal. At the time, no one knew who the hell this guy was. He was like an overnight action star. Of course, Seagal has never been elevated to Schwarzenegger or... [More]

Things You Can Tell Just By Looking at Her

Things You Can Tell Just By Looking at Her

Along with the brilliant Panic, this new ensemble drama is probably the best film you've never heard of. It made it's debut at Sundance the same year as Panic, and like that picture, it never got distribution, and instead made it's premiere on Showtime. What a shame. If this movie had been released...

Someone Like You

Someone Like You

Typically, romantic comedies end up as easy targets for the critics and beloved classics for women. Way too often they offer up a slightly different version of the same old story. You know the drill--a man and woman who are obviously in love with each other, but for some crazy reason remain blind to... [More]

Spy Kids

Spy Kids

It is rather surprising that one of the most engaging films of the year thus far, comes in the form of the wonderfully innovative family film Spy Kids. What's more surprising is that the film comes courtesy of Robert Rodriguez, a director known for more adult fare such as From Dusk Till Dawn, Desper... [More]

Joe Dirt

Joe Dirt

Every now and then a film comes along that redefines the comedy. A movie that has you laughing so hard that your sides ache. Joe Dirt is such a film. This movie is hilarious from start to finish and features a truly inspired turn by funny man David Spade. Without doubt, Joe Dirt is the best picture... [More]

Freddy Got Fingered

Freddy Got Fingered

What could possibly be worse then a film starring Tom Green? How about a film directed by Tom Green. I've never been a huge fan of the guy. His show on MTV was always more annoying then anything else. He certainly wont make any new fans with the disgusting and amazingly unfunny Freddy Got Fingered (... [More]

Memento

Memento

Nolan is a major talent and one to look for in the near future. His Memento is a compelling mystery, and one well worth trying to solve. Nolan has fashioned a fantastic film noir in a way we've never seen. He forces the audience to stay on their toes, guessing until the end (or beginning if you... [More]

Driven

Driven

It's been a while since we've seen a movie dealing with auto racing. I think the last high profile flick on the sport was the Tom Cruise vehicle Days of Thunder. Driven comes courtesy of star Sylvester Stallone (who also wrote the screenplay) and director Renny Harlin (who collaborated with Stallone... [More]

One Night at Mccool's

One Night at Mccool's

When watching One Night at McCool's, it's really hard to not compare it to Pulp Fiction. I guess when you have a film as groundbreaking as Pulp, many films are going to be stacked up against it. That is the case with this latest dark comedy starring Matt Dillon, Liv Tyler, Paul Reiser, John Goodman... [More]

Brigham City

Brigham City

A couple of years back, film-maker Richard Dutcher made a fairly sizable splash with his independent movie God's Army, a story about Mormon missionaries. The film wasn't exactly a blockbuster, but it did get released outside of Utah where it went on to make a profit. With his new film, Dutcher has n... [More]

The Forsaken

The Forsaken

First of all, I'd like to say that I went into this picture with zero expectations and came out with a slight fondness for it. It certainly isn't a the top of the list of great horror films, but in a year that has seen schlocky, uninspired trash like Valentine, The Forsaken has some moments worth no... [More]

Shrek

Shrek

It seems that every year, a new animated feature comes out that pushes the bounds of the medium. I can remember being completely exhilirated by Toy Story when it was released. Since, we've seen Toy Story 2, Antz, Dinosaur and A Bug's Life. All were terrific in their own way. Enter Shrek, a spectacul... [More]

Pearl Harbor

Pearl Harbor

So Memorial Day weekend is usually the spot when a studio releases their so called "big event" film. Such classics as Godzilla, Mission Impossible 2, and Star Wars Episode One have all made their debuts on the well known weekend. So why should this year be any different. Enter Pearl Harbor, a film t... [More]

The Animal

The Animal

Boy oh boy did I go into the theater dreading this one. Most of these comedies featuring ex-Saturday Night Live players (see Joe Dirt or Little Nicky) or even taking their cues from Saturday Night Live skits themselves (see The Lady's Man, A Night at the Roxbury, or Superstar) have been absolutely a...
