Bottom Line: American horror film from Spanish director is like The Sixth Sense in reverse. Grace: “Where’s my daughter?  What have you done with my daughter?” Anne: “Are you mad?  I am your daughter!” Featuring Nicole Kidman as the lead character, THE OTHERS is an read more

Father Moore: “There are forces surrounding this trial…dark, powerful forces.”Starring Jennifer Carpenter as the title character, THE EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE is 25% courtroom drama, 25% psychological horror, 25% supernatural mystery, and 25% rip-off of THE SIXTH SENSE. It isn’ read more

Robin: “I want a car!  Chicks dig the car!” Batman: “This is why Superman works alone.” Now starring George Clooney as the first title “hero” (as Chris O’Donnell reprises his role as the second), BATMAN & ROBIN is flawed on so many levels: For starters, read more

Bobby: “It’s clean…it’s cold…now that’s what I call high-quality H2O.” THE WATERBOY is a dumb football farce and just another predictable Adam Sandler comedy. It was possible to laugh in some scenes, but this, overall, was not very funny. It stars Adam Sand read more

Bottom Line: Perplexing, overrated, and reminding of Groundhog Day. Thrilling and complex, SOURCE CODE is a smooth combination of INCEPTION, FLIGHTPLAN, and GROUNDHOG DAY, with a slight romantic twist to it, as well. It could have been a lot longer, but that’s not to say it was too short̵ read more

Paul Edgecomb: “Your name is John Coffey?”John Coffey: “Yes sir boss. Like the drink, only not spelled the same.”Based on one of Stephen King’s few non-horror novels, THE GREEN MILE is a long, moving, poignant prison drama with an interesting fantasy twist. Starring T read more

For a romantic comedy, SWEET HOME ALABAMA was quite an enjoyable–but predictable–film. Starring Reese Witherspoon, Josh Lucas, and Patrick Dempsey, it tells the tale of a northerner who meets a man and immediately falls in love. The problem is she’s married to a “redneckR read more

Lady Sarah Ashley: “Just because it is, doesn’t mean it should be.” Set in World War II, AUSTRALIA is a long but intriguing epic. It stars Nicole Kidman as Lady Sarah Ashley, a widowed English aristocrat who inherits an enormous cattle station, and Hugh Jackman as Drover, her husb read more

Rob Hawkins: “It’s 6:42 AM.  Beth’s dad’s place.  He’s out of town.  And it’s already a good day.” From the creator of the recently-ended TV series LOST (who is now known as the director of later films STAR TREK and SUPER 8, as well), CLOVERFIELD is the thr read more

If someone sang the lyrics, “I’ve had the time of my life, and I’ve never felt this way before”, and the first thing that came to mind was something completely unrelated to this film, namely the fairly recent Black Eyed Peas song “The Time (Dirty Bit)”, then firs read more

The Penguin: “Touring the riot scene.  Gravely assessing the devastation.  Upstanding mayor stuff.” Batman: “You’re not the mayor.” The Penguin: “Things change.” Michael Keaton reprises his titular role in this dark, mysterious sequel to Tim Burton’s read more

Alfred Pennyworth: “Can I persuade you to take a sandwich with you, sir?”Batman: “I’ll get drive-thru.”Suffering the “threequel effect” from beginning to end, BATMAN FOREVER is a tedious superhero movie. It now stars Val Kilmer as the titular character, a l read more

If you aren’t familiar with the franchise started by Stan Lee’s comic book series “The Incredible Hulk”, think of this as an intense, fun mashup between DR. JEKYLL & MR. HYDE and SHREK. I know that sounds a bit disturbing, but really, that’s what THE HULK is: a reg read more

I didn’t expect all that much of ALONG CAME POLLY–it’s a rom-com, and those just aren’t my thing. There were quite a few solid parts to it, but overall, it was an unrealistic, often-disgusting, ever-so-slightly original love story. Although Jennifer Aniston, who delivers som read more

Deceivingly titled, DODGEBALL: A TRUE UNDERDOG STORY (yeah, right) is silly and as quirky as quirky can be, but if you look at Ben Stiller’s other films, this is probably one of his best. It seems a bit overrated, as its Rotten Tomatoes average is 70%, and if you actually watch the movie, you read more

There’s a fine line between dumb enough to make a hilarious movie, and so ridiculously dumb that it’s hard to even let out a nervous laugh here and there. Though the original DUMB AND DUMBER was a good example of a former, this prequel is the perfect example of the latter. DUMB AND DUMB read more

STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT is great, yes, and certainly fun, even as the eighth entry in the overall film series (and the second based on STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION), but especially for a Star Trek flick, Jonathan Frakes (who played Commander Riker in this one), turned what could have been a stra read more

A lot of Adam Sandler’s comedies seem to be given bad reviews, and I can see that for some of his newer stuff, especially his two newest films, JUST GO WITH IT and GROWN UPS. On the other hand, there is no reason to give such poor feedback to BILLY MADISON. I’m not saying that because i read more

When we think of a buddy comedy, we rarely ever think of two old men. Somehow, THE BUCKET LIST makes that hysterical. This tells the story of Carter Chambers (Morgan Freeman) and Edward Cole (Jack Nicholson), two men who are fighting cancer. They know they will soon die, so they decide to jot down read more

Based on true Civil War events, this picture was very poignant, brutal, and fantastic. Starring Matthew Broderick as Robert Gould Shaw, a colonel who narrates much of the film with the letters he writes to his parents, GLORY is a well-acted saga about the permission for blacks to fight in war. The read more
