Congrats, Mr. Raimi. You Dragged Me To Hell.
Drag Me To Hell
starring Alison Lohman, Justin Long, Dileep Rao
directed by Sam Raimi
I think I can readily speak for everyone when I say that Spider-Man 3 was a dissappointment. Sure, as a film, it is head and shoulders above industry standards, but it paled in comparision to the first two. I think all parties involved [...]

Night at The Museum: Battle For a Decent Sequel
Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian
starring Ben Stiller, Amy Adams, Owen Wilson, Robin Williams, Ricky Gervais, and Bill Hader
directed by Shawn Levy
I hate Ben Stiller. I don’t know why that shocks so many people when I say that, but I really do. He’s not funny. At all. Ever. But, having said that, I [...]

Terminator Salvation: Hollywood’s Adaptation
Terminator Salvation
starring Christian Bale, Sam Worthington, Helena Bonham Carter, Anton Yelchin, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Common

Angels & Demons and Tom Hanks, Oh My!
Angels & Demons
starring Tom Hanks, Ewan McGregor, Stellan Skarsgard
directed by Ron Howard
I had read the Davinci Code prior to watching the 2006 film, but I didn’t have the time to read Angels & Demons before heading out to the Alamo Friday night. So, disappointingly, I won’t be able to may any comments about how the [...]

I Love You, Man
I Love You, Man
Starring Paul Rudd, Jaime Pressly, Jon Favreau, Jason Segel, Lou Ferrigno
Directed by John Hamburg
This is the quintessential ‘bromance’ film. If you don’t know what bromance is and you’re a woman, you’ll never understand so quit trying. If you’re a man and you don’t know what bromance is, I pity you and you [...]

Duplicity
Duplicity
starring Clive Owen, Julia Roberts, Paul Giamatti, Tom Wilkinson
directed by Tom Gilroy
So, do you remember the trailer to this movie? It was all full of spy-esque mystery and intrigue, and hinted at a fair amount of comedy and spoof to the genre. It looked, well, fun. I didn’t know what exactly to expect going in, [...]
