This is, in all seriousness, one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time. I watch so many films they tend to blend together, and normally I’m not a fan of these types of flicks, but this is just one of those movies that caught me completely by surprise.

Whip It is another great launching vehicle for Ellen Page who just has success written all over her. While the rest of the cast is pretty lackluster, you’re really watching the film for Bliss and her story.
Dare is described as a Cruel Intentions flick, but with less nudity, less hot chicks, and more male-on-male scenes. It’s just not my week for reviewing flicks. I’m starting to think I’m being punished for something.
I will warn you right now: this movie has an inane amount of both male nudity and chicks that should not be getting naked for any reason what so ever. There isn’t any real way of putting the previous statement any more bluntly, so sorry if I seem harsh. I have an incredible stomach and I’ve only gotten sick maybe once in twenty-plus years of seeing movies, but Cabin Fever 2 made me violently ill.
I have some friends who whenever I bring up even the slightest notion of “The Simpsons” they say the same thing “Man, that show jumped the shark years ago, haven’t they done everything already?” To answer the question, yes they pretty much [...]
Once more, the series gets a little bit staler. While some of the traps are creative (even making use of some classic ones), it’s all too obvious how the film will end. Granted, there are some surprises in who is related to who but for the most part as the viewer you can see several minutes ahead to the outcome and become bored with the same formula over and over.
The Brothers Bloom is writer-director Rian Johnson’s follow-up his surprisingly fantastic 2005 film, Brick starring Joseph Gordon Levitt. But often sophomore efforts after promising starts tend to greatly disappoint but Johnson’s latest once again surprised me as it wasn’t your typical con genre flick.
[...] from the very beginning I felt there was something ‘off’ about The Time Traveler’s Wife. It wasn’t the performances because the main three (McAdams, Bana, Livingston) all do respectable work, yet the story never gelled well enough to make the journey.
I was absolutely enthralled with 2006’s Paris, I Love You as it beautifully showcased the City of Love, Lights, Dreams, Art, et cetera while also giving us stories that made use of each precious minute allotted; and I had high hopes for the follow-up, New York, I Love You where we get to see the City That Never Sleeps. Unfortunately even though the directors try their best to showcase New York, the stories never quite hit the emotional levels (be it for comedy or drama) that I felt with Paris.
The movie wasn’t all bad though, as maybe I’m just being a little too critical. I had fun watching the movie, as usual, since Seagal just runs around for 90 minutes basically killing everyone he meets.
Spinning off a movie into a TV show is not an easy task. Sometimes it works (“MASH”, “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”), but many times they fail (“Fast Times at Ridgemont High”, “Ferris Bueller” among many others). But here’s the thing – when you opt to try and make a successful movie and turn it into a TV Series it’s best to do so at the height of its fame – and this case it would be 1999/2000.
