Sin City Review

Related A gritty, violent, and overall impressive film that may not go over big with the general public. Wow … where to start with this review ? To be honest I ’m still not sure exactly how I feel about it . It ’s one of those films that takes multiple viewings to really take it all in . First off , folk , can youpleaseleave the kids at home for this one ?...

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Review

Related Who knew Charlie Kaufman could write a compelling love story? Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet are perfectly cast in this movie, and Winslet’s Oscar nomination was well-deserved. The writing, direction and acting are all top-notch. How well-chosen is the blameless vestal ’s peck ! The world forgetting , by the world forgot . unending fair weather of the immaculate mind ! Each pray’r accepted , and each wish resign’d ....

The Punisher Review

Related Except for bad acting, a bad soundtrack, and a bad script, it’s not that bad a movie. The word onThe Punisherwas not good before the picture show come out , and after it ’s exit it only got big . Forewarned is forearmed , so I pass on see it on the big screen . However … being a fan of comic record and the motion-picture show they animate , combine with the fact that I had study a routine of " Hey , it wasn’tthatbad ....

Dawn of the Dead (2004) Review

Related Short version: Not so much a remake, as a different take on the original that is actually more horror movie and less social commentary than George Romero’s film. This is really a review of the unrated music director ’s gash of 2004’sDawn of the Dead , and not having seen the theatrical release I have no base for comparison to that version . So let ’s move on , shall we ?...

Constantine Review

Related Very forgettable, but fun while it lasts. Unfortunately, a hole-riddled story squanders a thought provoking theme. I approximate there is something to be pronounce for instincts . When I first saw the dawdler forConstantineI thought the concept of a character devoted to destroying wickedness , but who was too corrupt for heaven was an intriguing idea … however , the cartoon - like CGI demons set off my alarm system bells ....

The Polar Express Review

The Polar Express An instant classic that illustrates what the true spirit of Christmas is all about (from a secular perspective anyway). The graphics and the script are top-notch. See it on an IMAX screen if you can, but just go see it. For nearly 20 years , one of my Christmas traditions has been to watchA Christmas Story . That movie is on my short list of Christmas classic , right alongside the 1966 liven up variation ofHow the Grinch Stole Christmas ....

Super Size Me Review

Super Size Me You REALLY need to watch this movie before you go through another fast food drive-thru: It’ll cure you of “Mac Attacks”, guaranteed. Super Size Meis the inspiration ofMorgan Spurlockand it ’s a heck of a concept : Eat nothing but McDonald ’s food for 30 24-hour interval square … breakfast , lunch , and dinner . If it ai n’t on the card , he wo n’t corrode it ....

The Incredibles Review

The Incredibles The Incredibles is a great, fun family film, but not quite as endearing as previous Pixar movies. The Incrediblesis the long anticipated cinema from the geniuses over at Pixar Animation . I ’d been depend ahead to this for a tenacious meter , and perhaps I ’d seen one too many commercial because it did n’t quite measure up to the likes ofFinding NemoandToy Story . The humankind is populated by many superheroes , saving the day whenever required ....

House of Sand and Fog Review

House of Sand and Fog House of Sand and Fog is mostly overlooked by audiences, but this movie is very well done, and worth seeing. As I ’m indisputable most of you have already figured out , House of Sand and Fogis not for everyone . This is not a felicitous moving-picture show that the whole family will enjoy watching . It has some points to make , and it makes them in a gritty , unapologetic way ....

Timeline Review

Timeline Don’t waste your time on this pitiful excuse for a time travel movie that is terrible in every way: acting, dialogue, music, and plot. If at some point over the last few days you ’ve done something that you might be feel guilty about … something especially mean and nasty …. bad enough that you sense you merit to be punished in some way … Then I highly recommend you rentTimelineand force yourself to sit through the entire matter ....

Fahrenheit 9/11 Review

Related Fahrenheit 9/11 has a few valid points to make, but the rest of it either falls flat or comes across as disingenuous. It should not be considered a documentary, given Michael Moore’s strong anti-Bush leaning. Well , after being so critical of the trailer forFahrenheit 9/11 , I finally went and see the movie . I have to say , I ’ve never feel so out of situation in a picture theater of operations since I sawAnniein 1982 ....

Spider-Man 2 Review

Spider-Man 2 Spider-Man 2 is better than the original on most every level. So I ’m a little tardy to the Spidey 2 party , what can I say ? Life mother in the path , and being out of my teens and twenties , I ’m over the " stand in line the night before the liberal smash hit movie premiere " syndrome . Ok , so I even did that in my thirties , butThe Phantom Menacecured me of thatforever ....
