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…

The Libertine – A Movie Review
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
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…

Based upon a smart novella by Steve Martin (yes, that Steve Martin) this film is about a young woman played by Claire Danes who has moved to LA in the hopes of furthering her art career. She takes a job at Saks nestled away behind a glove counter. Bored out of her mind, she eventually…
