Film & TV
Easy to forget
There is nothing creepier than watching a movie in which the main character discovers that she is schizophrenic and has imagined every event in her life (you know you were paranoid after A Beautiful Mind). There is nothing more enthralling than watching a cheesy alien movie (you've seen Independence Day. Don't lie). The Forgotten, contrary to what one might think, is neither.
Viva la Revolucion
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow was filmed entirely in front of a blue screen, with all of the backgrounds, environments and effects added in digitally.
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
There isn't a frame in Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow that I wouldn't pay good money to hang on my wall.
Twist and Shout
Before this week's critics screening of The Village, Touchstone Pictures asked that critics refrain from spoiling critical plot points in the film for the reader.
Manchurian On Fire
What do you get when you combine a crazed Army Major, a power-hungry Senator who touches her son a little too lovingly, and an Army Private-turned-politician who has less personality than a rock but is poised to be the next Vice President?
His View's Askew, Too
Zach Braff, star of NBC's Scrubs, makes his directorial debut with Garden State, which he also wrote and stars in.
Quick Flicks
Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle Stoner or not, this is a fun movie. Granted it helps if you are, since pot humor is the foundation of the film.
Phone Home
A Home at the End of the World is the first major motion picture directed by Michael Mayer and the second major motion picture written by Michael Cunningham.
A Meow Mixed Bag
I may be dreaming the impossible dream, but I dreamt of a Catwoman review that somehow avoided not only feline puns, but dominatrix jokes at the same time.
Bourne to be Wild
Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) is back again in the second engagement of the Bourne series in The Bourne Supremacy. And now he's angry and on a mission to unravel a mystery.
$300 An Hour
Some Kind of Monster, a new documentary about iconic heavy-metal group Metallica, will undoubtedly inspire some comparisons to the seminal mockumentary This is Spinal Tap. And to some degree, that's valid.
What Is The Basement?
Based on the novel, Widow for a Year, by John Irving, The Door in the Floor is director Tod Williams' second major motion picture.
The Fresh Prince Sours
Will Smith used to be the King of Summer, launching huge blockbusters like Independence Day and Men in Black. After bombing with Wild Wild West, however, Smith has struggled to reach his previous heights.
Stay Classy, Comedy
With the release of Will Ferrell's new comedy, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, this summer is officially a good one for comedy.
Eye See You
Facing Windows portrays the life of Giovanna (Giovanna Mezzogiorno), a 29 year old Italian woman dissatisfied with her job, frustrated by her marriage, and generally overwhelmed by life.
A Knightley Knight's Tale
King Arthur was a success even before it came out, at least for guys who like guy movies. It's got everything that a great action saga needs: fierce battle sequences, a hot chick and a passable plot.
Lions and Tigers and Bears
Remember way back in the day when you watched movies all about animals running around, getting into trouble and having all sorts of adventures?
Climbing Up The Walls
The original Spider-man was a good film -- in fact, it probably was the best movie to come out of the recent comic book craze in the film industry.
Freedom Fighter
The four-star grade is pretty random. As a film, Fahrenheit 9/11 has its flaws, but as a 2004 event, it's more important than any other movie released in 2004.
