I kind of had an idea that I wouldn't love this movie. I kinda knew all of the hype surrounding Jamie Foxx (who, by the way, sports the name of what sounds like a porn
Mr. And Mrs. Shit would be more like it. Seriously. Are there any decent scriptwriters out there anywhere? This thing had about as much charm and subtlety as a suicide
I've never been a comic book guy. Sure I had my fun with baseball cards and the Sunday Los Angeles Times funnies, but I've always found dudes who read comics to be kinda
When I first saw the promos for this movie, I nearly burst with joy. Wes Anderson and Bill Murray together again? It was like a deadpan dream come true. Anderson must
New Jersey takes a lot of flak. Sure its citizens drive like shit and portions of it stink of the same, but it certainly has its positive qualities as well. Honestly
Star Wars is a tricky thing. It's so iconic and engrained in my memories of childhood that I am loath to say anything bad about it. Witness my somewhat lenient review of
Looks can kill (the movie's tagline)? This movie can kill! Okay, I've honestly seen worse. Seeing a very in shape chick wielding knives didn't exactly hurt, but there's

For some bizarre reason I thought for the longest time that this was a French film. I'm not really sure why other than the fact it's unusual for an American filmmaker to
I'm a little torn about this movie. I've spent many wasted hours writing reviews railing against technology and fake-ass CGI scenery. I think I may have even praised
Sometimes I'm actually willing to give a movie a break. Sometimes there's that certain something that strikes a nerve in me that makes me ignore plot holes, bad dialogue
We love to see the geeks win. That's why we have Revenge of the Nerds and Weird Science and Loverboy (or whatever). The problem is that this shit never happens in real
I can't even tell you how many movies have been ruined for me by that insidious devil, hype. That and seeing way too many clips and getting around to films way too late
Let's not pretend this is going to be The Godfather. Shit, let's not pretend this thing is gonna be Dude Where's My Car (even though they share the same director). Never
Charlie Kaufman is the most creative screenwriter around. He's like Philip K. Dick without the drug addiction and odd juvenile streak. Granted, Dick was a book author
It seems all you have to do to make money in Hollywood today is hook up with Pixar, hire a few actors and make a cartoon that adults can tolerate. The Incredibles had a
