Now that a solid handful of Harry Potter adaptations have made it to the big screen, I’m going to offer a theory. Any Trekkie knows that until, say movie number seven, that it inarguably held true that as far as feature Star Trek films were concerned, the good movies...
So I was surprised that I found Rise of the Silver Surfer to be entertaining, in an entirely popcorn-and-Red-Vines kind of way. The film reminded me of Saturday matinee movies of childhood, or action-packed mindless after-school cartoons. Sure there are still the strained attempts at hipster jokes and clever...
Angelina Jolie is (or can be) a very good actress. Angelina Jolie does a lot of great things with her celebrity. Alas, Angelina Jolie is also extremely overexposed in the media, to the point that, whether she likes it or not, it is difficult for the audience to separate...
The two main characters of Once are never named. The “guy” (played by Glen Hansard) is a street busker in Dublin. He is kind of down on his luck, and is licking his wounds from a broken heart. But the guy is passionate about singing (his guitar even had...
Sylvia Scarlett is one of those bafflingly erratic movies that is as frustrating as it is fascinating. A good movie, it is not. It is not a good George Cukor film. It is certainly not a good Cary Grant film. The plot skips from one setting to another, making...
The three featured films of the John Cleese Comedy Collection (well, two films and one television special, rather) clock in at 65 minutes, 40 minutes, and 55 minutes, respectively, with no extras to speak of. Seems that they could have been “collected” onto one or two DVDs to save space...
The last few years have produced some stellar nature documentaries that have, incredibly (and impressively), made a big splash in the mainstream. Anything from penguins (March of the Penguins) to birds (Winged Migration) to the planet itself (Planet Earth) have been the subject of acclaimed and popular productions. Now...

I became a fan of the PBR (Professional Bull Riders) on a rainy Sunday a few years ago when I happened to catch it on TV while parked on the couch for an afternoon. My remote control got lazy as I first watched it a bit ironically, then slowly...
Complete the following comparison: Eddie Murphy’s Norbit is to Dreamgirls As Mark Wahlberg’s ________ is to The Departed Yes, Shooter is right up there with Norbit as a shockingly bad film that almost single-handedly sends its star right back to square one. The only difference is that Mark Wahlberg...
Despite all of its earnestness and good educational intentions, Amazing Grace reminds me of one of those historical movies about an important figure that you were forced to watch in school. It tells you all the information you need to know about the person or famous event in question,...
