Cinderella Man – A Movie Review
When this film initially came out I thought it looked good, but it didn’t look good enough to spend my hard earned cash on. I think this may have been the underlying problem when it came to this film’s promotion. I now wish I’d trusted my instincts and gone to see this film on the…

Borat – A Movie Review
I would have really enjoyed Borat had I not seen seventy-five percent of it already in the promotions. Even the majority of the extra footage had been aired, despite their claims. Hey, I know, I know … I should have gone and seen it in the theater as soon as it came out. It’s my…

300 – A Movie Review
When I first saw the preview for 300 several months ago, I knew that this would be a film that would have the same impact upon the industry as did The Matrix and the original Star Wars. It looked so unlike anything else out there! Guess what, folks? It finally came out last week, and…

Casino Royale – A Movie Review
Okay, so as much as I enjoyed the previous James Bond movies, at no point did I actually think any of them (yes, ANY of them) had the sort of hand-to-hand combat abilities the characterization would lead you to believe. James Bond was supposedly a human weapon along with being a lady charmer, and while…

The Fountain – A Movie Review
A beautiful film-absolutely beautiful. Please, if you watch this, you must approach it with an open mind and look at it as a work of art, for like any other work of art, it leaves you with plenty of opportunity to interpret it in a variety of ways and requires more than a little mental…

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer – A Movie Review
There are some fanatical Fantastic Four comic book fans out there, and you’ll have to take into consideration that I’m not one of them. I always found them a little lame, and yes, I have been browbeaten on a regular basis by people trying to convince me of the errors of my ways. That said,…

The Dark Knight – A Movie Review
(No Spoilers Ahead) Simply “wow.” This movie surpassed even my lofty expectations as a Batman fan. Epic in nature with nonstop action and a tight, logical storyline that organically meshed with the characterization of its players, The Dark Knight deserves every bit of the accolades it’s amassing. Christian Bale’s Batman is truly a force of…

Lars and the Real Girl – A Movie Review
I’m proud to admit that the main reason I wanted to see Lars and the Real Girl is because I’m a Ryan Gosling fan. I loved his work in The Notebook, Stay, and Fracture, so I figured as strange as Lars and the Real Girl sounded, I’d give it a shot. If you ask anyone,…

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull – A Movie Review
The fourth installment of the Indiana Jones mythos was adequate and entertaining, but failed to capture the charisma of earlier films. I thought something that worked particularly really well was the pairing of Harrison Ford and Shia LaBeouf. LaBeouf takes a lot of flak from the internet community, and I’m not sure why. He’s got…
