The misadventures of an inept stuntman tasked with raising cash the only way he knows how, by crashing into stuff, sounds like it should be a veritable comedy treasure trove. Super Dave Osborn did it to such miraculous heights of hilarity back in 2000 with “The Extreme Adventures of Super Dave”. Hm? What? You say […]

Oh, Mr. Chris Tucker….to live your life! To latch on to a successful franchise almost ten years ago and to emerge every three years to play the same character in a similar movie and have a screen legend do all the work. This of course is  Rush Hour 3 starring Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan. This […]

Every once in a while I’ll run across a movie that’s a real eye-opener in terms of subject material and acting.  Usually it’s a movie I’ve heard or read about but rarely shown on television or available on DVD or VHS.  A FACE IN THE CROWD is a movie I’ve never heard about and when […]

The world of 28 DAYS LATER will be very familiar to those of us who have watched End Of The World classics such as the George Romero DEAD TRILOGY, ON THE BEACH, THE WORLD, THE FLESH AND THE DEVIL and THE OMEGA MAN.  People are fascinated by the idea of the World As We Know […]

Well, what can I say?? This movie is almost un-reviewable. It is exactly what you would expect from a huge summer blockbuster movie. Pretty people put in unbelievable (read: unrealistic and moronic) circumstances that allow for a lot of explosions and collateral damage flying at the screen, all pumped up to the […]

An extremely intense, brilliantly performed two-person character study centering on an adolescent girl (Ellen Page) and a pedophile (Patrick Wilson) who connect with each other over the internet. One of the reasons that I think this movie is so effective and disturbing is that it deals with a scary subject matter so timely and […]

World renowned film director Werner Herzog is one of the most unique voices in the history of film.  His work mainly focuses on obsessed characters with a bit of madness inside of them (some claim that is very similar to the director himself).  Rescue Dawn is Herzog’s second film on a German-American fighter pilot named […]

  
I’ve been looking forward to seeing Superbad since I saw the trailer back in April. This flick could be the first genuinely ”funny” teen comedy without the word pie in the title. Well it’s funnier than any of the American Pies and a has a little more heart thrown in for good measure. It stars Jonah Hill […]

I went in to this movie knowing that it would be my kind of comedy but had no idea that it would become one of my all time favorites.  This was the kind of movie that the entire theater was laughing out loud at almost every scene.
40 Year Old Virgin director, Judd Apatow, shows real comic […]

OF MONEY AND BENEVOLENCE…  
Seldom does a movie so beautifully capture innocence and naivety, without bordering on saccharine. “Millions”, a whimsically fantastic tale of a boy who simply wants to make the world a better place, is director Danny Boyle’s perceptive exploration of the human psyche and screenwriter Frank Cottrell Boyce’s masterful look into the unending […]
