As a fan of the TV series, all I can say is that the film is bitter sweet. I was seriously disappointed in the first half of the film and actually stopped watching it to go to sleep, it didn’t feel worth staying up beyond late for. The movie picks up during the high drama [...]

Wanted is about an anxiety-ridden failure of an accountant, the every man Wesley Gibson played by James McAvoy, with his life completely out of control stuck in a dead end job and an unfulfilling relationship. McAvoy does a great job portraying a highly wound up flunky. His life suddenly takes a turn for the dramatic [...]
Tropic Thunder is Ben Stiller comedy written and directed by the man about a bunch of hot shot Hollywood stars shooting a Vietnam War. Everything that can go wrong does and the demanding financier of the movie (played by Tom Cruise) forces the actors to shoot the film in the live with handheld cameras and [...]
Hancock is one of the more unconventional super hero movies among the slew of “unconventional” super hero movies of the year and we certainly had many. One thing that distinguishes it from others is the focus on individual psychology and the unique cinematography. It’s also a rare movie in that it’s not based on a [...]
I simply can’t get enough of Adam Sandler regardless of the film’s quality.

I just happened to watch two great super hero movies not too far apart. Rather than review them separately, I’m going to mix and match. Unlike my other reviews, I’ll be talking about the plot more in depth. SPOILER ALERT Dark Knight was being constantly hyped, first with catchy viral campaigns and then tragically through [...]
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was like a bad trip. You really don’t get much in terms of a coherent plot it’s just the progression of a drug trip set on a timeline. The first thing that strikes me is Benicio del Toro’s beer belly in the opening scene, rubbing his tummy lovingly as [...]
The Game is a rapper that most people would easily want to write off. He was supposed to be a one hit wonder after Dr. Dre gave him the remaining best beats of his “In Da Club” era and an alliance with 50 “fiddy” Cent got the half-dollar marketing machine in full effect (50 makes [...]
The only ghost in the Ghost Rider film is the ghost of the comic it was based upon. I actually like the story leading in from Matt Long playing the young Johnny Blaze and Brett Cullen as the father. Raquel Alessi made it work since she actually did look like a younger version of Eva [...]
Fight Club is a story that resonates to the working stiff trapped in corporate America. Edward Norton is a nameless dweeb working for a big car manufacturer settling car malfunction claims, plugging in the numbers to decide whether it warrants recall or individual settlements. On his travels he meets the mysterious Tyler Durton played by [...]
