Reviews

Latest Review Additions:
  
Severance(in Film)
A comical cautionary tale which ought to trigger a little paranoia in the souls of any advocates of the Military-Industrial Complex.


Spark DVD (in Film)
Terrence Howard and Nicole Ari Parker made this pathetic psychological thriller back in 1998 before they became household names.


Day Night Day Night (in Film)
The movie is more interested in examining the mindset of a maniacal Muslim with her finger on the trigger than with the plight of her potential victims.


Georgia Rule (in Film)
The chemistry between the three leads is flat and unconvincing, yet Lohan does provide a spark in this mishap of a film.

Delta Farce (in Film)
Delta Farce is easily one of the worst films released this year.


The Salon (in Film)
One can see the worn-out script a mile away with its clichéd characters and many subplots that make the film unfocused and unemotional


The Hip Hop Project (in Film)
With 100% of the profits going to non-profit charities devoted to youth, The Hip Hop Project might be the first totally tax deductible movie.


28 Weeks Later (in Film)
In “28 Weeks Later”, what you get are new victims, and a new story that with its flaws and all, still has enough entertainment and frights to shake you afterwards and have the franchise continued.



Provoked(in Film)
None of these slight alterations is likely to diminish your ability to appreciate or
applaud the significance of a landmark decision which established Battered Women’s Syndrome as a defense.



Music & Lyrics DVD review (in Film)
Between the pithy dialogue and the retro humor which comes at the expense of big hair bands, be prepared to laugh throughout the duration of this delightful date flick.


Because I Said So DVD review (in Film)
This familiar formula might have worked were it not for Ms. Keaton’s infuriating dumbing herself down and mugging for the camera.


Spider-Man 3 (in Film)
There’s no entertainment value being lost. It lays the drama on thick, but more than makes up for it with stupefyingly awesome fight scenes.


Paris Je T'Aime (in Film)
In 18 short vignettes, there is a pleasantly seamless quality about the production which almost imperceptibly flows from one tale to the next.


Tribeca Film Festival: Chops (in Film)
Director Broder catches the rising excitement - think “Fame” meets “Rocky” by way of the Duke of Ellington – as well as some great footage of the late Ed Bradley, a longtime supporter of Essentially Ellington


Tribeca Film Festival: Day Zero (in Film)
Day Zero is an very inspiring film that gives a different perspective on war, showing the motivation of characters and the mental and physical preparations they go through before war.



Tribeca Film Festival: Bomb It (in Film)
Though many view it as a prelude to larger crimes the artists have a very different opinion, director/writer Jon Reiss gives them another medium in which they can express themselves.
