The Matador – A Movie Review
I have to tell you, this movie was a breath of fresh air. I’ve always been a Pierce Brosnan fan, but even I had to admit he tended to play the same type of character. Cool under pressure. Suave. Debonair. Always straddling the line between hero and anti-hero. And while I’ve never considered Brosnan an…

Proof – A Movie Review
This particular movie sent me through myriad emotions. For instance, I love Anthony Hopkins and have been a Jake Gyllenhaal fan since Donnie Darko, so their specific performances I very much enjoyed. Gwyneth Paltrow has always been kind of hit and miss for me, and, as par for the course, she was hit and miss for…

Rumor Has It – A Movie Review
Terrible. Absolutely terrible. Until Jennifer Aniston turns down the big checks and takes on some edgy, meaty roles, she will forever be typecast as Rachel from her old sitcom. This movie was bad on so many levels, I can’t even go into it. Avoid like the plague.

The Break-Up – A Movie Review
I’ve argued in the past that I believe Jennifer Aniston could be a very good actress if only she’d start taking meatier roles like she once did with The Good Girl. I really feel like the last several movies I’ve seen with her have been the same character over and over. She’s become like the…

A Prairie Home Companion – A Movie Review
Movies like this one make me question my artistic integrity. I mean, I comprehend the man who directed this film, Robert Altman, is a living legend. I understand some of the biggest and most respected names in the entertainment business such as Streep, Jones, Kline, Keillor, Tomlin, and Reilly were more than willing to take…

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,…
