Director Rupert Sanders is quite skilled in his feature film debut. He succeeds in creating a fantasy world with a striking dichotomy of darkness and light.Snow White and the Huntsman is a darker, gothic twist on the fairy tale popularized by the Disney cartoon. It is much more in vein of the stories told by the Brothers Grimm, which were macabre and sin...more

One of the best action films in years.People give Tom Cruise a lot of crap for the weird things he does, like jumping on Oprah's couch and getting in a fight with Matt Lauer over Scientology and Psychiatry, but when it comes to mindless t...more

Somewhat enjoyable. Men in Black 3 is a good step-up from the second film but this one better be a conlusion. A fourth installment would never have this film's luck, which is being fairly decent.To think that it has been ten years since the release of "Men in Black 2" is such a crazy, crazy thought. I can remember the day my father and I went to see the film. I can also remember my reaction o...more

Tommy Lee Jones deadpan stoicism and Will Smith's quasi-hip parlance doesn't add up to much in this film.Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones return in another tepid Men in Black sequel. I will say it's better than the second film, but not by much. Maybe we know what to expect in this series, so the characters...more

If you have anything to say, now would be a perfect time to keep it to yourself.And here we reach the final stepping stone on the way to "The Avengers." "Captain America: The First Avenger" was many's most anticipated installment in the series. However, I know there was quite an ...more

That's more like it!Ahhhh Thor. Much like "Iron Man," many expected his movie debut to be a complete and total failure. Right from the get go there was skepticism and rebuttal. Then the trailers aired and everyone was sa...more

I lost both the kids in the divorce.I was a huge fan of 2008's "Iron Man." I know many were very skeptical of that one from the start, but I was interested in it. In the end everyone went and saw it, despite how much they were not looki...more

HULK... SMASH!Well having watched 2003's "Hulk," which is widely viewed as one of the biggest comic movie flops ever, it was nice to sit down and watched a nicely put together Hulk movie. Louis Leterrier outdoes hi...more

Sinks twenty tousand leagues under the sea..Before "Call of Duty" and other military-based video-games took over the at-home entertainment field, there were board-games. Yes, that's right; they are not an old legend or myth, just out-of-style c...more

I almost had a seizure from laughing in this film.Sacha Baron Cohen returns to theaters with the hilarious political satire, The Dictator. Cohen stars as Admiral General Aladeen, the goofball dictator of the fictional African state of Wadiya. You kno...more

You may strategically place your wonderful lips upon my posterior and kiss it repeatedly!Well, another vampire film under my belt, and not one that left me feeling neglected. So many vampire movies have been coming out lately due to the mass hysteria caused by Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight"...more

... This is far less an action film and far more a dramatic meditation on life and death...Well, I'll be damned. . . A film that defied my expectations for nearly all of the wrong reasons, and had me appreciating it all the more because of it. Honestly, I'm still baffled as to how this film...more

This is a stolid piece far from the good film that it could have been.This isn't exactly a wedding you'll still care about once it finally reaches its desperate for attention conclusion. The Five-Year Engagement is exactly the film I didn't want it to be. It's long, bor...more

My heart is not cold, it is broken.Where do I even begin? The "Underworld" franchise has long been one of my favorite vampire series, if not THE favorite. Vampires and werewolves have been together in movie-dom for a while, but I feel ...more

And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor....Shall be lifted - nevermore!"Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling, By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore. "Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou," I said, "a...more

Zac Efron and Taylor Schilling may not be a Jack and Rose pair, but they were certainly a lot better than past screen-couples we've watched over the last couple of years.It's not a romantic epic but "The Lucky One" will surely make a rainy or boring afternoon. I've always had a soft-side for flicks like this so I'm not ashamed to sit here and mention how much I enjoye...more

I'm a huge fan of the way you lose control and turn into an enormous green rage monster.Well, where to begin? This movie was... nothing short of everything I was hoping it would be. Back in May of 2008, me and my friends went to theater to see "Iron Man." We left the theater in awe of ho...more

You've kept him alive so that he can die at the proper moment. You've been raising him like a pig for slaughter!Forgive me if my writing is a little bit shaky, it's literal been a year or two since I've written a review. Anyhow, I have been immersed in the Harry Potter series since I was in 4th grade. I remembe...more
