No, this isn't an adaptation of the Walt Whitman novel for those expecting that when you walk into this film. No, this is a different beast entirely. Now from the trailers I am sure that you think that you ahve this pegged already, that this is yet another stoner comedy that for some odd reason has Edward Norton and Richard Dreyfuss in it for some odd reason. And while you would be right to insist that the film does indeed have comedic elements to it as…

Now as I am writing this I am sure that a lot of people are watching the previews for this film or the trailer that has been shown for quite a while and are starting to think: why should i waste my time with this film? It looks stupid and cheesy. And to them I say, well if that is your opinion then this is not the film for you. I'm not saying that ina condescending way either. Because Hot Tub Time Machine is a stupid cornball cheese fest and it is for…

Now I assure you good readers that I am not here to put my political opinions off on you regarding the current on going war on terrorism. That is not my style and I have nothing but a dark loathing hatred of the type of people who can and will do this. But Green Zone is a film that does take a political stance on the war on terror and if that is going to stop you from wanting to see the film then you should preferably stop reading this review and avoid…

You have just got to love horror films as a genre at times when you get great stuff like Cloverfield or The Ruins. But the love that a film fan can have for the genre can break your heart an equal amount of times as well. Great horror films aren't a common commodity in the mainstream theaters and more often than not when one comes it is an utter disappointment. It's why one has to appreciate a great mainstream horror title when it coems out and yet also…

To tell you the truth about Jean Claude Van Damme as an action star I have never really fully been a fan of him at the beginning He was a bit of a pretty boy back in the day, he could kick good but he never really had a compelling enough persona to really carry a film for me. He was just kind of bland and a bit of a blank, in other words he was the Vin Diesel of the late 80s and early to mid 90s.

His films were just a bit of a chore to sit…

Now I realize that this list is a little bit behind but sometimes it's better late than never and I will include previous films that have been relased earlier this year that I have yet to see as well.

Plot: A typical day on the slopes turns into a chilling nightmare for three snowboarders when they get stranded on the chairlift before their last run. As the ski patrol switches off the night lights, they realize with…

I won't be surprised if this does rather well at the theaters. I really won't. Remakes like this generally were meant to do pretty damn good at the box office but to me as I watched this ina theater I was surprised that as entertaining as it is I an my friends had the same response: "Eh, who cares?"

Basically if you have seen the trailer you ahve seen the film basically and can almost automatically guess how the film is going to go through…

There are quite a few reasons why I watched this film. I will admit that. And number one is that if it has Bruce Willis as the star I will more than likely give it a view. You see Bruce Willis is the kind of movie star that I ahve always enjoyed watching,,.he is one of the last of what used to be en endless array of badass tough guy action stars such as Clint Eastwood, Charles Bronson, Lee Marvin, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone,…

Mel, I don't hold a grudge against you. As a matter of fact I forgive you for your past discretion, a drunken and racist tirade aginst the Jews to police officers who pulled you over fr driving inebriated. Now why do I forgive such behavior? Is it because it is Christian behavior to do so? Hell no, it's just in an age where an infamous and great film director can still be respected even though he knocked up an underage girl and anally raped her and fled…

So have you seen The Good? No? Well, you really didn't miss anything special. Now does this mean that it is among the ranks of the nutty dog turds like the Norbits (any current comedy with Eddie Murphy for that matter), Date Move (and all other films written by those writers), films that star Dane Cook, ect. But then again, it's not really hard to beat those films either.

The Goods wants you to believe that it is worthy to be among the many…

So you want to know why great theaters and theater chains are going the crapper? Why don't people stand up and do something about it? Does it really have to be this way?

To me, it is the true appreciation that comes with watching great movies that has really been the drastic cause for this reaction. You cna argue all you want but really, why would you? Look at your average people that come into these film theaters these days and the people that watch movies…

Ah, The Secret of Kells, one of the oscar nominated films that has recently been taking the oscars by storm and is now a runner up for best animated film alongside the likes of the Up, The Fantastic Mr. Fox, Coraline and The Princess and the Frog. For many, this is a film that has seemed to have came out of nowhere and they are most definitely quite curious about this film, as they should be.

The Secret of Kells is done in a fashion…
