*minor spoiler warning* Let’s get something straight: Superman is, by nature of his super powers, always in danger of being utterly boring. Everyone likes Superman, but few people think he’s terribly interesting. Let’s face it, how much suspense can a Superman story have when the guy can lift mountains and get shot in the eye…

Underworld: Evolution – A Movie Review

Do you like vampires? Do you like werewolves? Have you ever wondered if a vampire and a werewolf/vampire hybrid could have sex? If the answer is “yes” to any of the above, then Underworld Evolution is for you! Okay, so this movie was a little light on story and logic, even less so than the…

Failure to Launch – A Movie Review

There are three things in this world I never wanted to see: Colin Farrell’s vd report, Star Jones’ stool, and Terry Bradshaw’s bare naked butt. Sadly, after seeing his film, one of those things is burned into my mind’s eye forever. You know, I didn’t mind this movie. I actually thought the premise was pretty…

The World’s Fastest Indian

I believe that some movies are bound to be good based upon the actors involved alone. Now, this is not a perfect formula, but it works for me more often than not. That being said, when I saw that Anthony Hopkins starred in The World’s Fastest Indian, and after I learned the movie was a…

As you probably know, the critics have been making this movie walk the plank . . . bad joke, I know, it’s what I do. Anyway, despite the critics’ best efforts, this thing has been a cash-making sea cow. Again, bad. I know. Here’s the thing, this movie was fun. Period. It was fun! The…

After the Sunset – A Movie Review

Hey, this film is what it is. Directed by Brett Ratner and set on an island paradise, you couldn’t help but enjoy it for the fantastic shots alone. We’ve got a charming Pierce Brosnan and Salma Hayek as retired jewel thieves hanging their hats on a lovely island far beyond the FBI’s jurisdiction. That doesn’t…

The Libertine – A Movie Review

—

by

This is a film starring Johnny Depp that deals with the 17th century poet, John Wilmot. A true period piece, the costumes and sets were amazing. The cinematography was stellar as well, as it truly looked as though all interior shots had no more lighting than several very bright candles. In other words, there existed…

Closer – A Movie Review

—

by

Apparently the stage version of this film was a hit, and thus, they decided if it was a hit on the stage it would only be natural for it to be a hit on the silver screen as well. I’m afraid I couldn’t disagree more. This film essentially dealt with four people who couldn’t make…
