When your husband says to you, “I’ve been watching you sleep at night”, run… girl run! Run oh dang too late! Anthony Hopkins had a major ‘fracture’ in his head and let me tell you I am scared and his piercing blue eyes are as cold as his wife’s dead body.

From Dusk Til Dawn has a special place in my heart. Not for its brilliance, but rather the comedy that was never meant to be.
Two bank robbers played by George Clooney (Seth) and Quentin Tarantino (Richie) kidnap a priest named Jacob played by Harvey Keitel on their way to Mexico.

Changing Lanes: One wrong turn deserves another. That’s what the tagline reads to this so-called thriller starring Ben Affleck and Samuel L. Jackson. I personally believe ‘One irrational and ridiculously exaggerated response to a disappointing series of events deserves another’ is a more appropriate hook for this painful waste of good film.

By David GrantIf you are looking for a mind bending movie this is not what you want to see. Two women (Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet) switch houses (one in L.A., the other outside of London) and hilarity ensues. That is if your definition of hilarity is an improbable story line and Jude [...]

Did you know that License to Wed is an anagram for “this movie wet the bed”, OK maybe not but it should be. The main characters in this cinematic epic drama of two star-crossed young lovers, desperate to marry, (I’m not sure why, she’s not knocked up) and seemingly foiled by Reverend [...]

I’ve performed a series of complex calculations and have determined that Nicolas Cage can only make one good movie per decade. The 80s gave us Raising Arizona and a bunch of other dreck. The 90s gave us an Oscar winning performance in Leaving Los Vegas and then an amazing amount of [...]

“Ghost Rider” serves as a perfect example of why we should not fear the devil. I, of course, already do not fear the devil, but then again I might be alone in this regard considering that not everyone has benefited from an early childhood exorcism program offered out of their local [...]

I no longer fear the icy grip of death, for I have endured and lived to review, the magnum opus known as “Illegal Aliens” a.k.a “How to Draw Blood from Anna Nicole’s Corpse.”
If you thought that there was no way the weight battling train-wreck of a fringe celebrity known as Anna Nicole Smith [...]

Cloverfield is a testament to the human will to survive, the determination of mind of matter, and the realization that with the right amount of motivation man can do anything.
I’m not talking about the plot; I’m talking about my ability to make it through the entire thing without vomiting.

When Good Luck Chuck was released in theaters, I shrugged it off as I would an episode of ABC’s Cavemen. When the Unrated version of Good Luck Chuck came out on DVD, I gave it as much thought as a runny nosed third grader would give to a Kleenex. But when the movie [...]

OK, maybe this movie should have been called the (F…IT list) - rhymes with bucket. Well, read on then you decide. Now, you figure two Oscar winners, Jack Nicholson (the nut villain in Batman - the Joker, the scary nut in The Shining and the lobotomized nut in One Flew Over [...]
