After the not-so-receptive response to their last offering, Pixar will be releasing their newest animated crowd-pleaser this season. Entitled Ratatouille, which you will master the pronunciation in a few days, this is the return of Brad Bird as director. He last helmed the ultra-successful The Incredibles a few years back.
After last year’s mildly disappointing Cars, [...]
I never liked Michael Bay. In fact, I loathe the guy like the plague. I just do not see why he is still here. He is making films that seem to be great ideas then turn them to nothing more than an excuse to blow things up and put his preferred rock songs in full [...]
After the debacle that was the opening weekend numbers of Evan Almighty, let us shift our attention to another film with less-than-stellar numbers: the Angelina Jolie starrer A Mighty Heart. This story revolves around the widow of the late journalist Daniel Pearl and has received some critics’ recognition especially for Jolie’s performance.
Sadly, they released it [...]
Just as I thought: Evan Almighty went straight to number one but with the force of a low tide. Steve Carrell’s big budgeted comedy took in an unspectacular $32 million in the box office over the weekend. That would have been good numbers for just about any comedy film but not enough to be optimistic [...]

First off, Carrell’s charm comes from him being involved in crass situations and risque people. Also, [...]

Yes, after the lackluster performance at the [...]

After ranting about profesional basketball films that would make you long for the NBA during the Seventies, I think we should laud basketball films that stayed real to the realities of the sport. Believe me, basketball is far from the nostalgia of baseball or boxing and the grittiness of football. However, there are still [...]

With the ratings of the recently-concluded NBA Finals simply tanking so much fans wished for the sight of Manute Bol, it made me look back at the classic films related to basketball. You know, films that made an average sports fan love a film. However, none of them are related to the National Basketball [...]
With its sequel simply ruling in its first weekend, it is safe to acknowledge that the Fantastic Four is officially a franchise. Unless of course, they start to fall in the coming weeks. If that is the case, you can now disregard this article.
The problem I have with this, is that the producers would think [...]
The dilemma of reviewing this film is that no matter how much I was still disappointed with how it turned out, the mere fact that it was not the worst film of teh year and it was more entertaining by a mile to its predecessor warrants it a positive rating to me.
See, Fantastic Four: Rise [...]
