It sure is almost certain that last week’s box office “queen”, the Disney flick Enchanted, will reign supreme once more at the U.S. box office. The weekend after the Thanksgiving holiday weekend is not as packed as other weeks so expect the Amy Adams-starrer to pull in the most audiences once more.
However, the drop could […]

What was a film I was anticipating to experience turned out to be one of the bigger disappointments I have had this year. Beowulf is indeed a visual treat. It is hard to imagine how Robert Zemeckis was able to conceive an old English poem to be a treat for the senses. In short, for […]

Once considered another sprawling epic from another English poem, the story that is Beowulf has been given a new lease on life. In fact, it is quite a life-altering change that no one could have imagined it would ever be. Unless, of course, you are visionary director Robert Zemeckis. Just a few years removed from […]

As Mister Burns would say, “Excellent!”
The Simpsons Movie truly dished out a film worthy of our wait. After all, it is hard to give something new to people who have grown accustomed to seeing the characters from Springfield almost every week, not including the re-runs and DVDs. Well, they just made a film that would […]
