Latest Review Additions: |
-
I, Robot (in Film)
- I, Robot is more of a popcorn film than hardcore science fiction.
The result is a slick action film with a decent story. I, Robot
could have probably been better, but is enjoyable enough to warrant
another viewing.
|
-
The Door in the Floor (in Film)
- The Door in the Floor is a deep, personal character drama laced
with sex and nudity. It's not exactly titillating, but definitely
worth seeing.
|
-
Anchorman (in Film)
- The problem with Anchorman is that it's totally brainless.
It has a wire thin plot that loosely holds together the film's
zany gags.
|
-
Spider-Man 2 (in Film)
- If there was ever a sequel that captured the hearts and imaginations
of its fans as well as lived up to its massive expectations, it's
Spider-Man 2. It ranks right up there with Superman 2 and X-Men
2 as one of the best sequels to a comic book franchise.
|
-
The Clearing (in Film)
- Besides the fact the film is well acted, there's not enough
compelling moments for it to be suspenseful or satisfying.
|
-
Before Sunset (in Film)
- Before Sunset is a deeply romantic, sublimely beautiful film.
It is cinematic poetry, a love story like nothing we've ever seen.
Ethan Hawke, Julie Delpy, and Richard Linklater have made a romance
to rival the classics. It is a lovely film.
|
-
White Chicks (in Film)
- Marlon and Shawn may be the leads of the film, but Terry Crews
and the rest of the cast are truly funny in what may be the most
underrated comedy film of the year.
|
-
Fahrenheit 9/11 (in Film)
- Fahrenheit 9/11 will sweep like a hurricane across America
when it is released. It's a brilliant documentary in every possible
way. It runs the entire gamut of human emotion. It is funny, harrowing,
despicable, grotesque, heartbreaking, shameless, and informative
all at once.
|
-
The Terminal (in Film)
- The Terminal is the worst Spielberg film I've ever seen. He
has had an incredible run of success in Hollywood, but was bound
to hit a low point sooner or later. The film will make money because
of the marquis names, but will leave audiences totally unsatisfied.
|
-
The Chronicles of Riddick (in Film)
- With the exception of the visual effects, ìThe Chronicle of
Riddickî is an adequate sci-fi action flick filled with many Shakespeare
references that make no sense. In terms of action, it should boost
Diesel's career because he is commanding in this role, but there's
no substance to his character.
|
-
Spartan DVD Review (in Film)
- Currently out on DVD, David Mamet's Spartan is a crisp, taut
thriller, laden with surprises and frenetic in its pace. It succeeds
as a first-rate thriller and that's hard to find these days in
Hollywood.
|
-
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (in Film)
- "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" is the best of three
Harry Potter films presented on the big screen thus far. Fans
will embrace the maturity of the characters, ponder the mystery
that is set for them and enjoy the adventure that will bring them
back for more.
|
-
I'll Sing For You (in Film)
- A legendary musician is reborn again through his music in this
fascinating documentary
|
-
The Day After Tomorrow (in Film)
- The dialogue is absolutely terrible and the constant environmental
propaganda becomes unbearable, but the film is fantastic eye-candy
and delivers an awesome cinematic spectacle.
|
-
Baadasssss! (in Film)
- Mario Van Peebles has decided to make a film in homage to his
father by recreating that the process that led to that film, "Sweet
Sweetback's BaadAsssss Song", being made. "Baadasssss!" captures
the essence of independent filmmaking. It's entertaining and inspirational
|
-
Soul Plane (in Film)
- The film makes no effort whatsoever to have any semblance of
a plot or character development. There are a few chuckles,
but there needed to be some gutbusters for Soul Plane to succeed.
. A ride on a real plane would be more entertaining.
|
-
Raising Helen (in Film)
- Raising Helen is the same, dismal formula film that Hollywood
cranks out year after year. It has no surprises, no character
development, and worst of all, tries to manipulate your feelings
with crappy melodrama.
|
-
Saved (in Film)
- Saved is one of those films where everybody learns a lesson
and grows in the end. This is annoying because it makes
the film utterly predictable. So the film's approach is kind of
wasted if all the characters learn something and the audience
does not.
|
-
Shrek 2 (in Film)
- Dreamworks has done an amazing job of not only bring back the
stellar cast but coming up with a plot that all will enjoy. Shrek
2 is the one of the best animated sequels to come out in theaters
in a long time. It's just as good as the original.
|
-
Troy (in Film)
- The CGI and wooden dialogue come dangerously close to diminishing
the film, but the positive aspects far outweigh the negative.
Troy will surely be a hit with audiences and march to box office
glory this weekend.
|
-
Coffee & Cigarettes (in Film)
- Over the years Jarmusch compiled more segments, completing the
series in 2003. It's hit or miss as far as the segments
go. Some are boring and nonsensical while others are hilarious
and brilliantly performed.
|
-
Laws of Attraction (in Film)
- Pierce Brosnan and Julianne Moore are attractive actors that
have great screen chemistry together. Unfortunately, that doesn't
save Laws of Attraction from being an average at best romantic
comedy. They deserve a better plot for their romantic escapades.
|
-
Mean Girls (in Film)
- Just when you thought you've seen all the teen movies possible.this
one surprises you. This undiscovered comedy is a definite early
"summer" bird contender. It has all the makings of a box office
hit.
|
-
Man on Fire (in Film)
- Man on Fire is a film that will own you utterly as you watch
it. Denzel Washington delivers a revenge film of raw feeling and
ferocity. He goes to the darkest, most nuanced place of his career
and it is more hardcore than this reviewer could have ever imagined.
