At first glance it sounds like a wacky teen comedy. “A teen attempts to win money on the Indian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire in order to gain the attention of a beautiful girl.” Funny, right? Well…perhaps in theory and certainly not in Danny Boyle’s latest ardent drama from Fox Searchlight. Intense, [...]

I’m pretending that I don’t know who Jenna Haze is. Whomever she is, she’s in this clip of Crank 2 that was quickly pulled by Lionsgate.
Crank was one the most fun times I had in 2006 and from what I’ve seen from this clip…2009 will be just as zany.
Crank 2: High Voltage comes out [...]

Part fairy tale, part whimsy, all marvelous. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a moving, heartwarming story that both strengthens ideas of love and breaks hearts while stirring emotions to the point of applause.
Director David Fincher, who is known for crafting mind-blowing violent features such as Se7en, Fight Club and Zodiac, presents a soul-centric [...]

Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson are not what you would call “sex symbols.” Sure, they’re good looking people, well-polished and presumably clean but let us be honest for a moment. It’s not Mila Kunis and Zac Efron. Which is a good thing because Last Chance Harvey is everything that romance should be and everything that [...]

Hulk is one of those iconic heroes that your average person probably knows little about. “Oh, the green guy that sells frozen vegetables?” or “The wrestler, right? Slammed Andre the Giant in Wrestlemania III?” but probably “The angry guy…don’t get him angry or he’ll turn into some green freak. Yeah, I was never into that [...]

To me, The Crow was all about the dark imagery, music (my all time favorite movie soundtrack), and the tragic death of Brandon Lee. I don’t think one can think of a better time to bring The Crow back than right now. As it turns out, Stephen Norrington must be thinking the same thing. It’s [...]

4 stars out of 5
Allow me to indulge myself a bit. As a child of the ’80s, I grew up watching wrestling. It was a lot different then. No over-sexed vixens having their tops “accidentally” ripped off, no crude language and many wrestlers were actually role models.  Guys like The Junkyard Dog, George “The [...]

On the surface, the premise for Lars and the Real Girl would seem like a perfect fit for a Farrelly brothers comedy. Man falls in love with sex doll, man takes doll to public places, people see them, gasp, hilarity ensues. But beneath the initial chuckle is an endearing, warm, at times utterly depressing drama, [...]

In 1951, the original The Day the Earth Stood Still stirred audiences with its then controversial take on the country’s growing militarism in the post-World War II era; which includes a little thing called the Cold War. In it, the humanoid visitor Klaatu warned the human race, with its new atomic capabilities, that it can [...]

Nothing Like the Holidays is what you’d expect from your typical dramedy Christmas movie. A family in turmoil (check), love’s lost and regained (check, check), along with a whole host of problems and subplots to get lost in (crumble checklist –toss). At times endearing while mostly faux-authentic, the movie is marred with a blizzard of [...]
