Mission: Impossible III – A Movie Review
You know, I have to tell you, I didn’t hate this movie. I know Tom Cruise somehow went from being America’s favorite son to its most popular antichrist, but J.J. Abrams, the director of the film and creator of hit shows like Lost and Alias, managed to put together a pretty good little action movie.…

Cars – A Movie Review
I have to admit that when I saw the trailer for this film, I had absolutely no confidence in it whatsoever. I simply didn’t think they could possibly come up with a compelling storyline based upon a world inhabited solely by living cars. However, being the animation junkie I am, I still had to give…

Strangers With Candy – A Movie Review
Delightfully demented and hedonistically hilarious, if you were a fan of the eccentric Comedy Central television series, you will absolutely love this prequel. Stephen Colbert, of course, shines.

You, Me and Dupree – A Movie Review
Those of you who have been with me for a while know that I’m a big Owen Wilson fan. I really like more of his eccentric Zoolander, Royal Tenenbaums, and Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou stuff, but I also enjoy his good-buddy stuff like Wedding Crashers, I Spy, and Starsky and Hutch. You, Me and…

Little Miss Sunshine – A Movie Review
If you haven’t watched this movie, you have no idea what you are missing. The plot is rather simple: a father who is a failure at motivational speaking discovers that his daughter believes she has a great shot at winning the Little Miss Sunshine pageant. Because of circumstances you’ll discover in the movie, the father,…

The Illusionist – A Movie Review
Everything about this movie worked, and I am not exaggerating when I say that you should make it a priority to see it as soon as possible. Ed Norton stars as an illusionist, a man who makes the seemingly impossible possible. Jessica Biel is a duchess and childhood love interest who currently finds herself locked…

Hollywoodland – A Movie Review
I’d heard this was a very good movie and, as it turns out, I heard right. If you’re not familiar with the story of George Reeves, he is the man who played Superman in the old television series. I mean, the OLD television series from the fifties. Well, anyway, Reeves supposedly died from a self-inflicted…

The Departed – A Movie Review
My wife and I finally watched The Departed last night and all I can say is that it was an electrifying and outstanding movie. I initially was hesitant to watch it because I heard it was very violent, but the violence actually was neither terribly gratuitous nor gory. Still disturbing, mind you, but not in…

Surprisingly, I Don’t Give Rave Reviews To Every Movie I See, and Here’s the Proof!
I know it typically seems as though I write glowing reviews for a lot of movies. The fact of the matter is that, like all of us, my time is limited so I typically write only reviews for those movies I actually enjoyed. My wife and I watch many, many movies on DVD, so it’s…
