“An extremely funny satire of the film industry that has plenty of lightning but doesn't rumble Hollywood to crumbles--not as much as I'd like, anyways”


Ben Stiller has not been funny to me. Not since "There's Something About Mary" and "Meet the Parents" has he made me laugh-the latter failing in it's enormous potential. Shortly thereafter, he was in every other comedy, the bad ("Along Came Polly") and the mediocre ("Starsky & Hutch") and wore m...

“'The Dark Knight' transcends the comic-book movie genre, blending the borders--crime drama, Shakespearean tragedy and film noir--and leaving in it's wake a tragic performance by Heath Ledger that defines not just his career but the essence of film villainy.”


Conversations and debates have gone on and will continue for many years about films and their sequels, boiling down to the question: Is the follow-up better than the original or does it pan in comparison? "The Dark Knight," the latest entry into the Batman franchise, joins some heavyweight films th...

“Carell and Hathaway deliver the goods the smart way: to entertain. Don Adams is probably rolling in his grave--laughing. And he would be proud.”


Similarly to another film adaptation of a hit TV show a few weeks ago, "Sex & the City: The Movie," I am unaccustomed to and have seen only bits a pieces of the 1960s comic series "Get Smart," created by Buck Henry and Mel Brooks. However, unlike the former, the new incarnation of the iconic Do...

“This time, 'Hulk' is as angry as the fanboys were at Ang Lee, but accomplishes little to top the previous underrated gem”


Lean, mean and green is what can describe the latest incarnation of the famed comic book hero, "The Incredible Hulk." Besides the latter two are true for obvious reasons, this time around he's been stripped of story and development, cashing in on fanboys' intense hatred of Ang Lee's brilliant and u...

“The fornicating foursome rape us of almost two-and-a-half hours of our lives... and I don't care.”


I have not spoke about, debated or intelligently discussed "Sex & the City: The Movie" for the better part of five days. This review would've appeared last week, but after certain circumstances, I allowed myself another week to simmer down and relax, providing time to rethink my thoughts and an...

“His whip still cracks as it flies through the air. The punches still sound like a bomb going off aside the bad guy's jaw. The infamous theme music is right on cue. And after 19 years off the screen, the fedora still fits nicely.”


His whip still cracks as it flies through the air. The punches still sound like a bomb going off aside the bad guy's jaw. The infamous theme music is right on cue. And after 19 years off the screen, the fedora still fits nicely. Our favorite archeologist adventurer returns in "Indiana Jones & ...

“Tina Fey should've given contraceptions to this mediocre script and birth one of her own”


Tina Fey is a goddess among writing geeks, influencing the comedy world since her tenure as the first female head writer of "Saturday Night Live" from 1999 to 2006. Her sharp wit and talent for writing relevant material resonates loudly. Unfortunately, she didn't birth "Baby Mama." From the pen of...

“It's clichéd to say, but this is one you won't forget, a culturally and socially significant film soon to join the likes of John Hughes' work of 'Sixteen Candles' and 'The Breakfast Club'”


There is a moment in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," the latest production from comedy guru Judd Apatow, that is filled with genuine sincerity and realism that I could not stop a lone, solitary tear from rolling down my cheek. That one was part of several more bouts of tears streaming down my face. On...
