“Don’t expect classic sport moments like Victory or Hoosiers here. Leatherheads does look great, but the romantic comedy takes center stage and football is more like a background image where their love story takes place. ”


Is Leatherheads about the difficult times of professional football during the 1920s? The answer: kind of. Instead of focusing about the struggles of the sport or exploring in depth about its reborn, Director George Clooney kicks the ball off the field and makes it more of a soapy-like love story tha...

“The Karate Kid of the 21st Century.”


In recent years, the MMA world (mixed martial arts) has gained popularity due to the UFC’s strong advertising campaign and the power of the internet—it was just a matter of time for someone to make a film about this exciting (and brutal) combat sport. But it’s not just about the fighting in Ne...

㥶,000 B.C. could have worked as a re-creation of the Ice Age world a la Walking with Dinosaurs.”


The trailer seems epic and very promising due to the exotic prehistoric beasts, cavemen fighting and ancient landscapes—it definitely shows some potential—but in the end, there is very little to be excited about. Director Roland Emmerich wants to have it both ways by showing a Discovery Channel-...

“This kind of “underdog” team story has been done before and much better”


Just when we thought Will Ferrell made a big comeback in Blades of Glory (where he played a flamboyant skater), he disappoints us with his new insipid film called Semi-Pro—directed by first timer Kent Alterman. This comedy is based on a fictitious basketball team in the 70s who couldn’t escape t...

“There are moments of charm and clear originality, but some of the forced drama and its “we-can-do-it” cliché story take away some of the fun.”


What would you do if someone accidentally erased every VHS tape from your video store? Well, you can amateurishly re-shoot every film with the help of your friends and pray for the customers not to notice. Does it sound like a crazy idea? Not for the gang of Be Kind Rewind. They had to do it to save...

“Despite its good concept, Jumper fails to deliver a sense of discovery, adventure or action”


Teleportation is one of the coolest powers a superhero can have. This extraordinary ability has been the dream of many scientist and adventurers (it’s like being invisible). In fiction, we find devices that would help the protagonists travel anywhere in the world, and therefore defying the laws of...

“Let the boat sink”


Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson are very attractive people and always look great together onscreen. But despite all that chemistry and those exotic Caribbean locations, (don’t let that fool you, all that beauty wears off pretty fast) Fool’s Gold is just a lame comedy about a dysfunctional co...

“Not only the film lacks any horror moments, but its repetitive nature, incoherent flashbacks and dull performances will bore you rather than scare you.”


J-horror remakes are getting sillier and virtually scare-free—The Ring was actually pretty solid, but the genre went down the hill right after that. Just when I thought that One Missed Call was the worst of the bunch, I get to review yet another “remake” that has reached a new low and automati...
