I am now screwed in my movie-watching for the rest of the year because I'll be so hard-pressed to find something that doesn't make me say, "It was good, but it was no X-Men: First Class." I will go to comedies, but doubt I will erupt into applause again at ...

After the war in Iraq, the last thing people want to know about, or even care about is the War in Afghanistan. Still, it’s going on as we speak, and our men and women are dying there. Restrepo provides an interesting prospective not only on the War in Afghanistan, but ...

I find it very hard to like John Wayne. He was like the Justin Bieber of the old Hollywood western. He stands for that all-American goodness so happy and honorable it wouldn't hurt a fly. He called High Noon un-American for its selfish depictions of the townsfolk, I call it ...

Season 1: Starring: Ricky Gervais, Ashley Jensen and Stephen Merchant Rating: Not Rated Length: 6 30-minute episodes IMDB Rating: 8.9/10 Set-Up: Andy Millman, played by Ricky Gervais, is an extra. You know, the people milling around in the background of a movie, never getting any lines, or more than a ...

Called down from his position of being a poor-mans Simon Cowell on various reality TV shows, CNN has enlisted has enlisted the help of one Piers Morgan to save its primetime lineup from a deepening ratings hole. Not only that, but he’d be replacing Mr. CNN himself, Larry King. So, ...

This Pig Puts Up A Better Performance Than Morgan Freeman. It's Also More Memorable.   What's the selling point of RED? Stars you like doing stuff you like, mainly shooting things. At this, the film does very well. And fortunately, the things it doesn't do very well don't detract from ...

The Crazies is kind of a boring movie. It doesn't really satisfy the people looking for a good zombie film, and while there are some good kills and creative kills, it won't exactly satisfy horror fans. The much talked about carwash scene is suprisingly short, and in my mind, kind ...

After the unfunny disaster that was Funny People, Adam Sandler kind of needed to remind audiences why they liked him. And why not bring a few friends with him? You see, this movie is mostly an excuse for 5 friends to hang out in a nice setting, and just have ...

The Expendables is an idea. A supposed embodiment of machismo heralded by great action stars of the past present, and in alternate universes, and a symphony of gunfire and explosions.  This is just an idea. This movie is false advertising. It's movie that when describing it, you use words like ...

This shot-for-shot remake is an experiment. Hollywood dreamt it, and it was coming sooner or later, whether we liked it or not. At least in this way, done by Gus Sant and putting up a decent cast, the idea was able to be put to bed. Because if this film ...

"You're going to be successful, and rich. But you're going to go through life thinking that girls don't like you because you're a geek. And I want you to know, from the bottom of my heart, that that won't be true. It'll be because you're an asshole."  "You’re not an ...

It was the 1999. A young filmmaker has finished writing a submarine horror/thriller film. He is ready to turn the script into a film as his second Directorial effort. Instead, he will direct Requiem for a Dream, which will be held in high regard by many. This young filmmaker was ...

Maybe it's because the show was created by a couple of guys that worked on Family Guy, and wrote a bunch of their better episodes. Because I can assure you that Disney doesn't have the brain power to create this show that actually has some thought and actual humor behind ...

Cool World is vaguely interesting, random, strange, weird, but never is it, for one second, funny or anything close to enjoyable. What exactly were they going for? If it was to please cartoon fetishists, mission failed: the film is PG-13. If it was to create an interesting film around a ...

 I'll admit it, I was watched this film. But only once. And it was when it premiered on Cinemax. As I recall, it was a simply terrible film that wasn't very scary, was frankly boring, had actors that deserve MUCH better than this, but oh, that ending. I still remember ...
