PANDORUM? More like Pan-SNORE-um. Dennis Quaid has virtually nothing to do, and poor Ben Foster has to shoulder the weight of this turgid-looking, incomprehensible "thriller" without a thrill in it, shot almost entirely in the dark with editing so frantic (when it isn't sloppy) you never get to see much of anything. Boring? Let's just … Continue reading PANDORUM

The Wayans managed to offend me with their latest movie...because it's NOT FUNNY! Dance Flick runs out of moves in the first five minutes. I laughed at their Previous comedies...this one made me wish for the simple fun of Little Man. That was stupid but not insulting. This Dance comes up lame. -- Stormy CurrySent … Continue reading DANCE FLICK

Coraline is creepy good... Think alice in wonderland nightmare b4 xmas and jacob's ladder... I know i'm a wuss but some images were vividly haunting. -- Jessica CurrySent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

Making corporate greed & corruption funny seems like a daunting task, but THE INFORMANT! pulls it off. Matt Damon is great as the dishonest VP who decides to Rat on his company. But you eventually realize his scheming has an element of tragedy to it. Even through his fall, the film keeps you laughing. Hamlisch's … Continue reading THE INFORMANT!

Was it DUPLICITY on the part of Universal's marketing people that kept this clever caper from gaining a wider audience? Julia Roberts (nicely brittle and in certain shots quite unglamorous) and Clive Owen bang heads and bodies well. But it's Paul Giamatti and Tom Wilkinson who have you shuttling back to watch their all-too-few but … Continue reading DUPLICITY

The Ugly Truth is a big fat lie. When on screen chemistry works it feels good like The Proposal. When it doesn't, you get this mess of a movie. What could have been a fun, raunchy battle of the sexes becomes a limp, toothless bore. My requirements for a movie like this are simple: be … Continue reading THE UGLY TRUTH

The force is strong in FANBOYS. If you lived and breathed Star Wars as a kid, this comedy is for you. If you thought George Lucas was a genius up until Phantom Menace, this comedy's for you. If seeing the guy who played Darth Maul play a security guard at Skywalker Ranch makes you laugh, … Continue reading FANBOYS

As thrilling as QUARANTINE was, the Spanish version that preceded it called [*REC] is equally brilliant. Can't think of any other example where an almost shot-for-shot remake (and by a different director, to boot) matches the original in excitement and stands on its own even though it's a mirror image. It's so visually perfect, you … Continue reading [REC]

There's a show on AMC that centers around a man trying to hide a secret while providing for his family. He has to pretend to be someone he is not and is trapped in the world he has created. He doesn't trust the people he works with and won't confide in his wife. No not … Continue reading BREAKING BAD

ADVENTURELAND is a movie you've seen before, but it goes in an unexpected direction: straight toward maturity, with a gracious screenplay that allows even the 'bad guys' three full dimensions. Jesse Eisenberg channels Michael Cera, then adds his own brand of brainy puppydog. Kristen Stewart is now in the dawn, not the Twilight, of her … Continue reading ADVENTURELAND
