Film & TV
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.
Quick Flick: De-lovely
De-Lovely depicts the life of legendary songsman Cole Porter. Director Irwin Winkler manages to incorporate into the film nearly every significant piece of music that Porter composed.
Don't Pick On Me
Like many Ben Stiller movies, Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story features a great comic premise that never fires on all cylinders.
Over The Hump
The Story of the Weeping Camel is a German quasi-documentary filmed in Mongolia's Gobi Desert.
This Flight Is Grounded
Steven Spielberg's is on a roll. Wait, scratch that, he was on a roll. In 1998, Spielberg released Saving Private Ryan, and then followed that acclaimed project with A.I., Minority Report, and Catch Me if You Can over the following four years.
Walk Away from the Light
Hard-core Christians are going to hate this movie. Then again, the whole point of it is to make fun of them. Saved! has balls.
A Case of the Mondays
Garfield is a cartoon that many kids watched as a child. Looking back, the cartoon wasn't very funny.
The Chronicles of Ridiculous
Vin Diesel has the mental capacity of a Lego Block. That becomes clear as Diesel, once an up-and-coming action hero, reprises one of his most Neanderthal-like roles.
