Poor dialog.
Hands down the worst dialog out of all four Indiana Jones movies. Instead of existing to propel the plot of this film, a large portion of the dialog was used to fill in the gaps between the four films. In perilous situation, while surrounding by the enemy in an encampment, Indy and company [...]

Alternative Film Guide has posted a question and answer interview with Celine Sciamma, the writer/director of Water Lilies (Naissance des pieuvres). I usually would not do a post of this nature but since I thought Water Lilies was well executed, I decided to go ahead. An excerpt from the Q & A session:
What was [...]

The Pick
Street Kings
Why I picked it
Street Kings is the only film coming out this weekend that interests me in the slightest. It’s a Rated R cop/bad guy action film that has an all star cast and seems fairly intense. I also like the fact that Keanu plays an anti-hero and that House is in the [...]

I have a confession to make. I contributed to the downfall and cancellation of this TV Program. I, like many people, didn’t watch Firefly when it originally aired on the Fox Broadcasting Company a few years ago. It wasn’t my fault though. Fox dumped Firefly (a new show) on a Friday night time slot, so [...]

I thought I would celebrate one milestone with the milestone of a group I am affiliated with. Today I have written my fiftieth “official” film review. I have actually written and published fifty-one film reviews, the first one being The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) but I can not locate that review either on my hard [...]

The Pick
The Ruins
Why I picked it
The Ruins was written by Scott Smith, writer of A Perfect Plan. That is a pretty good inducement to see this film. Plus it will be nice seeing a horror movie involving a college age cast handled seriously and rated R. And if you did not notice, Donnie Darko’s girlfriend [...]

The Picks
21, Stop-Loss
Why I picked them
21 has an interesting premise and is based on a novel, Bringing Down the House. It has a good cast, including Morpheus, Keyser Söze and Louis Lane. I’m intrigued to find out what happens in the film and I hear it’s based on an actual event. Stop-Loss is [...]

The Pick
Tyler Perry’s Meet The Browns
Why I picked it.
This film is virtually generated a top spot at the theater this weekend. Horton Hear a Who will again be Number One of course but this film will crack the top five. There are no noteworthy films coming out this weekend. Most it not all of [...]

The Pick.
Doomsday
Why I picked it.
A Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, Escape from New York clone with a hot chick and a virus thrown in. It looks empty and fun like AvP:R, Transformers, et cetera. It also has the virtue of being the only cool action flick coming out this weekend. Plus Neil Marshall of [...]
