- Here’s my problem with Adventureland – this is not a comedy. This is nowhere in the vicinity of being a comedy. Yet, it was promoted and marketed as one. I guess the makers of this film didn’t know how to sell it, so they lie about it. Adventureland tr... full review

- Once a while an indie passes by quietly, without any fanfare or advertising, but turns out to be something worthy of your time. I love discovering those types of films. “Management” is just that. Romantic comedies are all about chemistry. If the leadin... full review

- If you’re looking for more shocking blasphemous tall-tales about Jesus Christ, you may be disappointed. But if you’re looking for a good debate on science versus religion, “Angels & Demons” makes the grade. Supposedly written prior to “The DaVinci... full review

- Here’s the problem… You’ve got a script that basically contains insights and dialogue from people in their late 30’s and even 40’s, but you want to play it like a hip, 20’s episode of “Friends”. Who in their 20’s is going to know the lines from John H... full review

- W. on W. The final scene of the film has W. Bush standing in an empty baseball field. W. told us throughout the film, this is where he felt most comfortable. All his life, whenever he is pressured, he goes there, waiting for the fly ball to come to him... full review

- For those of you living in a Third World Country, this story isn’t so special – because you see it every day. But for those of us oblivious to how lucky we are not living in a Third World Country, this is one special, special film. “Slumdog Millionair... full review

- “The Last Kiss” is a small gem, but I gotta tell ya, this is one depressing movie. The film centers around each relationships that of four pre-school best friends, now all at 29. The main focus is on Michael and Jenna, played by Zach Braff and Jacinda ... full review

- This was suppose to be the best film of 2008 - a curious tale by Fitzgerald with a larger-than-life production, starring the world's biggest actor. I basically sat there in awe of disappointment as the story unfolds. The story is fascinating - a ba... full review

- Remember a few years a go a film called "Crash" won all the awards and attention as it tried to justify racial tensions around the world? Well that film was a farce because no way in hell will any of those fictitious events take place in Los Ang... full review
