It's a spoof to be certain, but of what? War films? The ails of the movie industry? Or both?
Hard action meets stoner comedy. That is how my friend described “Pineapple Express” as we were walking out of the theater, and he could not have put it more perfectly. Seth Rogen plays Dale Denton, a process server on the run from a drug lord and the police after witnessing a murder. James Franco plays Saul Silver, Dale’s weed dealer, who also has to run because he is the only one who sells the t...[Read More]
Ann Brashares’ book series returns to the big screen in a romantic comedy about four girls carving their individual paths through their college years. Carmen, Bridget, Tibby, and Lena have been friends since childhood, and ever since finding a curious pair of jeans that just happened to fit all of them, they’ve been kept united by their pact—to wear them through their everyday activities, and then...[Read More]
First off, I have to say that this is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen! I literally laughed from beginning to end of this film! Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly star as Brennan Huff and Dale Doback, two 40-year-old men brought together by the marriage of Brennan’s mom and Dale’s dad. Since both still live at home (and act like 10-year-olds), they do not adapt well to their new living arr...[Read More]
Joker to Rachel Dawes, “Well, hello beautiful… you’ve got some fight in you, I like that.” That sentence pretty much explains The Dark Knight. It is the Empire Strikes Back of the Batman films. It compliments and extends Batman Begins beautifully. It also begins to build on less about Batman as person, which what the first film focused on, and starts with Batman’s pur...[Read More]
It's my mom's fault, really. There was little to no reason for a kid growing up in the 80's to be entertained by a show broadcast in the 60's. But, you see, I was a huge fan of Inspector Gadget, and when my mother pointed out the similarity between the voice of Inspector Gadget and the drone of Maxwell Smart, I was hooked. Hell, the show often featured a man talking into his shoe, which, even f...[Read More]

Acting helps keep a story strong, of course it can't work if the story isn't completely there.
There's a moment in The Love Guru where Mike Myers stares into Jessica Alba's eyes and asks, "Do you trust me?" "Yes, I do," she responds, "but I'm not really sure why." Thus is the lingering issue with Mike Myers. Myers' writing/acting career blossomed with Wayne’s World, found mainstream success with Austin Powers, and then was finally put out of its misery after two more rounds of Austin P...[Read More]
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last month, you know the plot of the Sex and the City movie is that Carrie and Big get engaged. The big debate, however, is whether or not they actually go through with the wedding. To find that out, you will have to see the movie, and if you’re a Sex and the City fan, I can assure you that you will enjoy every minute!
With Iron Man setting the trend for summer films, you would hope that movies like Speed Racer and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull could follow the success. Well, it is already been proven that Speed Racer couldn't handle it, so that leaves us Dr. Jones and his newest adventure.Could it live up to the previous films?
Simplicity! Simplicity! Simplicity! That is the key to a good comic book movie. That's not a knock on Iron Man either, it is the truth proven through the movie. Jon Favreau has redeemed himself from the Daredevil debacle.
