Director Edgar Wright isn’t very well-known in Hollywood. Although he’s had comedic success with Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, he hasn’t done any other mainstream projects.

Movie Review: INCEPTION
You know the feeling after you wake up from a dream and your uncertainty of weather what you just experienced was real or all in your head? That is the concept that director Christopher Nolan’s latest masterpiece Inception is built upon. When you suddenly wake up from a dream, or even a nightmare, you typically [...]
Movie Review: THE SORCERER’S APPRENTICE
The ultimate failure a movie can succumb to is the inability to entertain. That is why we go to watch movies, right? We want to be taken away to another world, one where we actually believe sorcerers and magic and epic battles really exist. This problem is the downfall for Disney’s The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. It [...]
Movie Review: TWILIGHT: ECLIPSE
When it comes to reviewing a movie like Twilight: Eclipse, it is difficult to separate the film from the cannon upon which it is based. Basically, to objectively critique the film, I have to put aside my stance on the series and look at the movie individually. In the third installment of the Twilight series, [...]
Movie Review: KNIGHT AND DAY
After a decade of Spy-on-the-run flicks ranging from the entertaining ( The BOURNE Series) to the mundane (KILLERS). Let’s stop kidding ourselves, they didn’t do whatever the government suits claim they did. If they did though, it wasn’t for the reasons given. In KNIGHT AND DAY, Tom Cruise plays a super spy hunted by the [...]

Movie Review: THE A-TEAM
Summer is a good time to go to the movies and unwind. Beat the heat and the sun by sitting in a nice air conditioned theater and watch a flick for two hours. That is why popcorn flicks, or movies that are meant to be entertaining and fun, are best marketed for summer. When Joe [...]
Movie Review: KILLERS
While on vacation in France, Jen (Katherine Heigl) meets the man of her dreams and falls head over heels. Though her new beau is not all that he seems to be.

Death at a Funeral features an ensemble cast which includes the talent of Regina Hall, Keith David, Danny Glover, Tracy Morgan, Luke Wilson, and James Marsden. The plot centers on its two main characters, Chris Rock and Martin Lawrence, who play brothers in the film. They both try and manage the chaos that ensues during [...]
Movie Review: CLASH OF THE TITANS
I feel bad for Sam Worthington. First, he saved humanity from Skynet’s Terminators. Then, he saved the Smurfs from humanity. Now, in the remake of the classic CLASH OF THE TITANS, he attempts to save humanity and the gods from each other. I wonder if he’ll ever be in a romantic comedy. But until then, [...]

Youthful energy gave them the endurance to party hard, hook up with women, and make some lasting memories.

Movie Review: Repo Men
In the future, disease and hard living will lead to a society in demand of artificial organs. The technology is expensive though, so you shouldn’t be surprised if you have to fork over $600,000 for a new liver or kidney. The Union guarantees total customer satisfaction with your new organ, but there’s a slight catch: [...]
Movie Review: Alice in Wonderland
I am not a fan of either Tim Burton or Johnny Depp, but I went into Alice in Wonderland trying to be as objective as possible. However, reviewing film necessarily eliminates the idea of objectivity, but I will only look at this one specific movie. Alice in Wonderland is a pseudo-sequel to the well known [...]
Movie Review: The Crazies
Any movie that markets itself with Gary Jule’s Mad World song in its trailer already gets my interest. The movie is named after people who become infected with a toxin that causes a complete break down of rationality and restraint, and makes people insane with murderous rage. Starring Timothy Olyphant and Radha Mitchell, the small [...]
Movie Review: Cop Out
Cop Out was directed by Kevin Smith, which stars Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan as its main characters. It is a comedy about two New York City police partners who are desperately trying to reclaim a rare, mint condition, baseball card while having to deal with their own police suspension and a drug lord trying [...]

Shutter Island isn’t the typical story that Scorsese has handled, but many directors [...]
Movie Review: The Wolfman
Universal Studios is home of some of the most iconic monsters the silver screen has ever seen. One cannot think about the classic movies like The Mummy, Dracula, Frankenstein and Creature from the Black Lagoon without also thinking of their werewolf films, notably The Wolf Man. As Universal has slowly turned the gears in rebooting [...]
