[Movies]: The Proposal #movie
Sandra looks great for being almost fifty. Reynolds delivers his one and best character again. And I love it every time. I was pleasantly surprised by this one. While predictable as romantic comedies...

It was perfect! Except it had zero plot, zero dialogue and some of the worst excuses for character development I have ever seen. As is the plague with most sequels, this one took what was funny and...

Another film where I am familiar with the source material. I personally loved the book but hate, hate, hated the ending. Seriously pissed me off. The movie in some ways made up for that. It started a...

I actually hate war movies, I completely stay away from them, too damn depressing. I am glad I didn't miss this one. Kathryn did a phenomenal job of really bringing you into the minds and lives of...
View Article[Movies]: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince #movie
As far as Harry Potter movies go, it's one of the best. They finally let the magic take a step back and really let the characters shine. I actually gave a rats ass about Harry in this one. The cheese...
View Article[Movies]: The Ugly Truth #movie
It was funny, it had a restaurant orgasm scene to rival When Harry Met Sally, and it had Gerard Butler, but that's beside the point. It's a romantic comedy so I wasn't exactly looking for anything life...

Apatow usually does a good job of taking inane comedy and making it meaningful. Wrap a death plot around 40 Year Old Virgin, and you get this. It's deep, it's existential, annnnnnnnnd it's long. Really...

Art always seems to follow life, or visa versa. I remember when I was getting married (and most of my friends as well) there was about a hundred wedding themed movies coming out. Of course it can...
View Article[Movies]: The Time Traveler’s Wife #movie
It was a little bit hard for me to rate this one, since I have only seen it once and I spent the whole time comparing it to the book. I'll need to review it again after a second showing. This is a full...
View Article[Movies]: District 9 #movie
The beginning really threw me for a loop, it wasn't the best opening to something so damn clever. Once out of the mock-u-mentary style though it really started to flow and become throughly engrossing....
View Article[Movies]: Inglourious Basterds #movie
Once upon a time... in Nazi-occupied France. Hell yeah, I knew from that moment this movie was going to be legendary. It was. True to Quentin form, there were chapters, chronological deviations (though...
View Article[Movies]: Zombieland #movie
If the opening titles of slo-mo gore and effects don't immediately grab you, there's a good chance you need a brain transplant. This movie delivers on everything it promises to be. Great humor, great...
View Article[Movies]: Knight and Day #movie
I love it when Tom Cruise is being funny. He has great comedic timing and ever since Tropic Thunder I’ve wanted to see more. After a spring of mostly disappointing flicks, this one sprung up...

As the Oscars are right around the corner, I’ve been craving some classic Hollywood, while the feat of reviewing every past Oscar winner is a bit daunting, I am up to the task of reviewing a classic or...
View Article[Movie Reviews]: [The Classics]: My Fair Lady #movies #the-classics
Another entry into the Classics category. My Fair Lady is another Best Picture winner for 1964, starring Audrey Hepburn and based on the musical of the same name. This is one of those few movies that...
View Article[Movie Reviews]: [The Classics]: West Side Story #movies #the-classics
West Side Story is considered the #51 best movie of all time by the American Film Institute. This 1961 best picture winner, however, is one of my most favorite musicals. It won 10 oscars in fact...

As far as "Classics" go, this is one of the young ones. Certainly made in my life time - though I was far too young to see it when it came out - there is still no denying the instant-classic-ness of...
View Article[The Classics]: Gone With the Wind #the-classics
As the Oscar’s are right around the corner, I figured I could sneak in another Best Picture winner or two in celebration. For me, Gone With the Wind takes the proverbial cinematic cake as far as movie...

My Mom and I have been on a Netflix spree lately, watching movies she loved from yesteryear or at least previous to my arrival. A movie buff like me watching stuff with her is like watching movies with...
View Article[Movie Reviews]: [The Classics]: Starman #movies #the-classics
Few movies really capture the time in which they were made like Starman does. This thing could not have been more 80’s. I’m not talking so much about the music, fashions, Karen Allen’s hair or...
