Hey kids! Look what’s out just in time for Halloween—it’s the new Amityville Horror! What the world really needs is an Amityville movie at least every five years, and I just don’t know what we’ll do if Hollywood ever fails to deliver. Don’t look at them as cheap, recycled...
According to screenwriting guru Syd Field, Chinatown may well be the most brilliant screenplay ever written. I’m inclined to think he’s right. Despite having watched the film about five times, I’m still hard-pressed to offer up a cohesive plot summary. With so many twists, turns, and details, it’s hard...
As famous as The Day the Earth Stood Still is, I expected a hair-raising, action-packed shocker of a movie. Instead we get a carefully paced sci-fi thriller whose tension builds slowly. Fifty-odd years after its original release, it plays something like an extended episode of The Twilight Zone, but...
The story resumes with teaching assistant Mr. Poppy (Mark Wootton) somewhat inexplicably in charge of Mr. Madden’s class. (You’ll remember that Mr. Madden married his sweetie and moved to the States at the end of the first film.) Lacking any teaching credentials and possessing only a bare minimum of...
Every single Christmas, schools and churches throughout the Western world put on a Nativity play. You can expect sloppily-costumed tots singing sincerely, flubbing lines, and generally bungling their way through this obligatory holiday performance, but you probably wouldn’t go too far out of your way to take in one...
Isn’t it weird how some films reflect the times in which they were made, and others just become dated? And Justice For All suffers from the latter. I had a feeling I needed to watch this movie by myself, and I’m glad I did. The tone is strangely off-key,...
As Disney movies go, The Jungle Book will never be my favorite. Like Peter Pan, it lacks a linear storyline, and consequently feels messy and neverending. It’s the kind of movie that leaves me thinking I don’t understand the story, only to find out there never was one to...
Delivery Man is one of those movies that pushes all of the right buttons when you’re watching in a dark theater with a bucket of popcorn in your lap. It works on a surface level and gives you the impression of an entertaining experience. I even teared up a...
Jason Sudeikis stars as David Clark, a petty drug dealer who finds himself in hot water with a major drug trafficker. He owes roughly $83,000 and without a penny to his name, has little choice but to agree to an ultimatum: bring a “smidge” of marijuana up from Mexico...
Imagine proposing to your girlfriend at a sporting event and having her stare at you in shock, then shake her head and walk away. This unfolds on the Jumbotron for all to see and quickly becomes a novelty news story and goes viral on YouTube. Now imagine that your...
Remember those Fridays before the start of Christmas break where your teacher would basically plan a whole day of fun stuff to do, usually including festive art projects, baked goods, games, and possibly a movie? Well, for some insane reason, not one but two of my elementary school teachers...
I’m never sure whether I should admit that I totally didn’t get a children’s movie. It either means I’m simple and have no attention span, or it’s a red flag that the movie is kind of a convoluted stinker. I wouldn’t call Saving Santa a stinker, but I watched...
