I just saw I Am Legend and I seriously want my money back. The only two things it shared with the novella were the title and the main character’s name. My friend Tim suggested they should have included a disclaimer … Continue reading →

I got The Departed from NetFlix over the weekend. We started watching it Saturday afternoon, but turned it off after about 30 minutes of incredibly foul language and boring setup. After reading several glowing reviews yesterday, I decided to finish … Continue reading →

Thomas and I just got back from seeing Cars. What a great movie. I haven’t laughed so hard since… well.. since I saw Over the Hedge but that’s not important right now. Cars is great. There are times when you … Continue reading →

The amazing has happened. It really has. I mean it. What am I talking about? I’ve seen a film, a remake, that I actually thought was better than the original. What movie am I talking about?? Charlie and the Chocolate … Continue reading →

We went to see Robots last night. What an excellent film. Robin Williams, who I haven’t really liked since Mrs. Doubtfire and Good Morning, Vietnam was absolutely brilliant! I really enjoyed his voicing of the robot called Fender. The movie … Continue reading →

Is every single screenwriter in Hollywood completely out of ideas for new films? It would appear so. After the absurd remake of the classic Flight of the Phoenix, I now hear that Wolfgang Petersen is remaking the absolute classic The … Continue reading →

I just saw the preview for a new foreign film called Schultze Gets the Blues, and it looks great. It’s about a German salt mine worker who is out of work when the mine closes. With nothing better to do, … Continue reading →

MickeyNews is reporting that Disney Pictures plans to produce Toy Story 3 without Pixar. That should be interesting since Disney has, to my knowledge, never done 3d computer animation on the scale of what Pixar has done. I hate to … Continue reading →

Thomas and I went to see Fat Albert (or “Fat Albret” as Thomas says it) Monday night. Believe it or not, it was great! I was prepared for a mind-numbing movie resurrecting the cartoon that would be painful to watch. … Continue reading →

I haven’t had much time to update the site recently because I’m spending most of my time working on the new company… but, in response to a plea from my mother (Hi, mom!) I decided to give you a brief … Continue reading →

Two words: Watch It. I missed it when it first ran on HBO but caught it a few weeks ago on the History Channel. Absolutely amazing mini-series. I didn’t want it to end. So much so that I promptly went … Continue reading →

I watched the last 20 minutes of The Oscars last night and was utterly disappointed to see that the wretched Return of the King walked away with 11 awards. What a joke. If you’ve been reading for a while, you … Continue reading →

I forgot to mention that last week I also watched Under the Tuscan Sun, which was a terrible adaptation of the wonderful book of the same name. I loved the book, which I read late last year. It reminded me … Continue reading →

I’ve watched a few things lately and here are my mini-reviews. 50 First Dates It’s about a man who meets the girl of his dreams only to discover that she has no short term memory and forgets everything from the … Continue reading →

I went to see RotK today and it was so much worse than I ever could have imagined. Not only should Peter Jackson, et al, not win any awards for this travesty, but they should be strung up for destroying … Continue reading →

I just got back from seeing The Matrix Revolutions and may I say that it totally ROCKS! I went into this film with some trepidation due to the large number of negative reviews I’d read, but I was not disappointed. … Continue reading →

We just got back from seeing The Cat in the Hat and I can say without equivocation, that this is one of the absolute worst films I have ever seen. I sat there constantly looking at my watch to see … Continue reading →

I won free passes to see Bubba Ho-Tep at my new favorite art house cinema last night. Three words: funny as hell. It’s the heart-warming story of an elderly Elvis Presley who not only didn’t die, but is living still … Continue reading →

I finally got a chance to see And Now… Ladies and Gentlemen Saturday night. I’ve been waiting over a year for this movie to make it to the States and it finally has. It stars Jeremy Irons who is wonderful … Continue reading →
