Get Smart (DVD)

I have never been a huge fan of comedy films, but I must admit that I genuinely enjoyed Get Smart. The casting was perfect for this film, and although it had a weak storyline and predictable plot, the stars of the film made up for it with some solid performances. Hardly a fan of the original series,...

Four Christmases (Theaters)

Four Christmases was such a huge disappointment for me I’m not even sure where to begin. I had actually expected a decent film based on its strong cast and the trailers released over the course of the year but unfortunately for me, this film did not live up to my expectations. Now the film wasn’t...

Tropic Thunder (DVD)

Personally, I wasn’t overly impressed with Tropic Thunder. It had it moments and a few scenes were laugh out loud hilarious, but it was hardly the comedic scorcher I thought it would be. I guess it had to do with the fact that I’m not huge Ben Stiller or Jack Black fan. In this film I...

What Happens in Vegas (DVD)

What Happens in Vegas was an enjoyable film. Although it wasn’t anywhere close to being the next huge “romantic Hollywood comedy”, the film provided enough entertainment for quite a number of good laughs and smiles. Both co-stars of the film, Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz were definitely...

The Strangers (DVD)

First of all, I would like to mention that the horror genre has been quite stagnant for some time. Of course, some of that blame falls on the shoulders of movie makers who have not found new water to tread. Most of the blame falls on our overexposure to everything. We’re exposed to so many explicit...

Deception (DVD)

Deception was a film that caught me off guard. I couldn’t quite make up my mind if I loved it or hated it. I enjoy good suspense driven thrillers and found the storyline to be quite interesting and thought the casting and acting was superb. However, I was very disappointed with the execution...

Eagle Eye (Theaters)

Now here’s a movie that had so much promise. It had a nice cast in Shia LaBeouf, Michelle Monaghan, Billy Bob Thornton, Rosario Dawson, and Michael Chiklis. The trailers had the right mixture of mystery surrounding the plot and action to hold your interest. After watching it though, I couldn’t...

Legend of the Black Scorpion “The Banquet” (DVD)

Inspired by the Shakespearean tragedy Hamlet, Legend of the Black Scorpion (USA) aka The Banquet (International) definitely lived up to reputation as being one of the most aesthetically pleasing films to come out of China/Hong Kong in quite some time. The cinematography and musical score for this film...
