The Wackness 2009-01-13 13:14:00 Ben Kingsley and the corky once chubby kid from Nickelodeon's Drake & Josh put on quite a show in this film. Both characters come from completely different spectrums of life yet they have one major thing in common, the need to find an identity for themselves. This common ground between the main characters creates a unique humorous duo that by itself makes the price of admission worth it. But a
Towelhead 2009-01-07 18:54:00 If there ever was a film to not watch with your grandmother it’s this one. Towelhead is a very provocative film with some of the most uncomfortable scenes in a movie I have ever seen. Writer and Director Alan Ball creates a basic middle class setting for the film, but inserts issues such as child molestation, racism, reverse racism, abuse, and the list goes on. But don't refrain from seeing the
The Kid Stays in The Picture 2009-01-01 20:38:00 A uniquely presented documentary that examines the interesting and entertaining life of movie mogul Robert Evans. Evans' narration of the film, and how he gives his perspective on things such as the rise of Paramount, The Godfather, and how he came to fame are quite spectacular. The images and editing used for the film creates an engaging story that will certainly not disappoint.The DVD has many Read more:Picture
Traitor 2008-12-28 12:55:00 This movie presents a theoretical view on the strategy someone would use to go undercover and infiltrate a terrorist group. The film does not set the world on fire, but it certainly has quality elements of entertainment. There were times when the story got somewhat predictable and the audience is purposely feed short scenes to reassure that Cheadle is still a good guy and loves America even though Read more:Traitor
Seven Pounds 2008-12-24 00:43:00 This film is presented in a very non linear fashion which makes the audience ask themselves or the person next to them, "Why is he doing that?" Occasionally there would be brief flash backs that make the audience try to figure out why he is doing what he is doing, but in the end the answer to all the questions is weak. The film makes it apparent, even in the beginning, that this man had a past and Read more:Seven

The Bridge 2008-12-10 20:17:00 This documentary has a very simple concept yet it is an extraordinarily powerful film. I had no idea so many people commited suicide jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge every year. This documentary captures these acts by setting up four or five cameras to pan and scan across the bridge all day looking for jumpers.What I found equally as powerful was the interviews with the friends and families of t
Four Christmases 2008-11-29 21:19:00 Vince Vaughn just can't help continuing to be Jeremy Grey. That is the same Jeremy Grey from Wedding Crashers who also appears in Mr. & Mrs. Smith, The Break up, Fred Clause, and now Four Christmases. How can you blame him? The Jeremy Grey character is a hoot, but Jeremy Grey needs a wing man like Owen Wilson to help level out the over the top Jeremy Grey who has loud out bursts and zany comme
Tropic Thunder 2008-11-26 13:59:00 Quite possibly the funniest movie of 2008 solely because of Robert Downey Jr. Without Robert Downey Jr. playing a black solider this film would just be a hybrid Vietnam Zoolander movie. Not much more needs to be said because this film was released awhile ago and it has been extensively reviewed in all forms of positive light. The DVD commentary is hilarious as well with Jack Black, Ben Stiller, an Read more:Tropic

Chinese Coffee 2008-11-20 12:15:00 This film was a passion project for Al Pacino because of his involvement with the play at the Actors Studio. The tagline for the film is: There's a fine line between friendship and betrayal. This describes the film perfectly as you will see when the plot slowly unravels during a heated conversation between two friends in Greenwich Village 1982. It is such a treat when you can watch a film and ensc Read more:Chinese

Under Fire 2008-11-13 20:50:00 If you ever wondered what it's like to be a war photographer I would recommend watching this movie. I would also recommend this movie for its impressive set design and how it really creates an authentic looking war torn Nicaragua.
The Incredible Hulk 2008-11-13 19:47:00 A giant improvement compared to Ang Lee's disaster in 2003. This is simply a fun movie to watch and worth your time, especially if you are a fan of Edward Norton or Tim Roth. When the movie was getting ready to end I was ready to give it a B+, but the last minute brought it up to an A. Read more:Incredible
To Live and Die in L.A. 2008-11-13 18:13:00 This is definitely William Friedkin's third best film next to The French Connection and The Exorcist. If you like action crime dramas with an intense car chase, then this film will not disappoint. An added bonus to the film is an excellent commentary track by William Friedkin on the DVD.
