Brendan Fraser needs an intervention. Seriously. I like the guy. If I knew him personally I would get a few good actors together and when he came through the door and said “What’s going on?” we would lock the door and tell him he’s not allowed to be in shitty movies for at least 24…
Stealthily making its way into stores and video rental houses is the “Animatrix” inspired take on Batman. Not too much hype, as Batman’s bigger cousin, “The Dark Knight” is getting all the attention. But hey, don’t forget this interesting though imperfect stepchild. It’s worth your time. Supposedly bridging the gap between Christopher Nolan’s two Batman…
The question on everyone’s mind is: Is this movie better than the “The Nude Bomb”? Okay, maybe that’s the question on no one’s mind. But yes, it is, in case you were wondering. It’s also even better than that horrible Andy Dick/”New Get Smart” show that lasted about two episodes. “Get Smart” basically takes the…
I have to say I was a bit surprised by this movie. It was better than I thought it would be, but I don’t know if that was because I had rather low expectations, or because I saw the trailer for Jim Carrey’s “Yes Man” play before it which made me think even if the…
Okay, so we’ve been waiting for this. When were we going to get something as cool as ”The Nightmare Before Christmas” again? “Corpse Bride” was OK but not great. Maybe it was a onetime thing. I was starting to think it just wouldn’t happen again. I am extremely happy to report that “Coraline” is absolutely…
“Choke” is a movie that wants so badly to be great but settles for being good. I was still entertained and enjoyed myself but there wasn’t really anything ground breaking or new here, movie-wise. Based on the Chuck Palahniuk novel “Choke” is about a Sex addict and colonial theme park worker who scams people in…
Prince Caspian is a surprising movie for a number of reasons. For one, it’s much darker and more violent than “The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe”. Secondly, the Christian symbolism is even more apparent. Thirdly, I’ve never seen a mouse with a sword kill so many people. But is it a good movie? The…
What do you do when one of your favorite filmmakers makes a mediocre movie? Sorry to say, “Burn after Reading” is not going to be on any “Best of” Coen Brothers movie lists. The story about a disk containing the memoirs of a CIA agent ending up in the hands of two bumbling gym employees…
I saw two movies this weekend. “Drag Me to Hell” and “Away We Go”. Not a whole lot of overlap on those two movies except for the fact that both titles imply some type of movement, willing or unwilling. So, two completely different movies. But after seeing both and thinking about it, there was one…
I’m writing this just a few hours before I dive into the madness that is “Watchmen”. I’m lucky to be hitting the midnight show tonight; I had completely forgotten to get tickets on the day they were released, then signed on to the website of my favorite theater two days later to find nine…
