It's like looking in a mirror. Only... not.Well I have to say that I've been meaning to watch this movie for a VERY long time, despite all the fights I put up with my Mom because she wanted me to see it. When I finally saw it last night, I was...more

If you were going to take over the world, would you blow up the White House 'Independence Day' style, or sneak in through the back door?We've all seen those old flicks about young kid's teachers being from outer space, and this time, it's not much new. But instead this transcends the young age group for a more preferred teenage crowd ...more

Having warmed up with ‘Bowling for Columbine’, Michael Moore pushes the envelope even further with evidence that, while naturally presented to support his opinion, is powerful enough to make us think; no matter what may think of Moore personally.Ok, let’s get the basics out of the way. Is this a doc*mentary? Yes. And no. A doc*mentary is defined as “ dealing with real events and people in a factual way.” Does Michael Moore deal with rea...more

As a doc*mentary, Fahrenheit 9/11 is a meandering, unfocused and largely unbalanced piece of non-fiction filmmaking. However, as one patriot’s passionate, wide-ranging soliloquy to America, the film is a brutally effective prayer for uncensored truth and change.(NOTE: Generally, as a rule, I try to make a pointed effort not to insert myself directly into the reviews that I write here on the site. I’m fortunate enough to publish a column, Cynam...more

Michael Moore takes a cue from Two Live Crew and THROWS THAT DICK! Frankly, I found a lot of his flash frontin' to be a bore. Snore. Of course, that's just me. This is, put simply, a film you'll have to see for yourself. It's about politics. It's personal. I can't judge how you're going to react or feel about it afterwards. It's truly critic-proof like an old-fashioned rain slicker.Hell Mission Statement #40791: Fahrenheit 9/11 I walked into the lobby, yawning. Bah. The whole thing left me quite disinterested. I'm not into Politics. I'm a pessimist. Every day, I wake...more

Doug Liman's best movie since "The Bourne Identity," is a wonderful marriage of real-life political drama and personal character development. Naomi Watts is outstanding and Sean Penn gives another powerhouse performance in a role that he was born to play.You would have to have been living under a rock for the last decade or so to not know who Joe and Valerie Plame Wilson are. Joe Wilson is a former Ambassador for the Clinton administration who's wife,...more

An energetic hodgepodge of loose-end storytelling and scattershot characterization; Fame may not be remembered as just the worst film of the year, but also one of the worst remakes of this decade.Dang, this is a bad movie! It sh*ts the bed in so many obvious ways. Which is sad, because it’s effortlessly watchable. And still entertaining to some degree. First time director and long time chore...more

"Fame" Sparkles but Does not ShineThis movie is basically mediocre. The story is mediocre. The acting is mediocre - both students and adult teachers. The premise is mediocre. The music is mediocre. However, the stunning si...more
