2.06.08 Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Review

The last time our hero filled movie houses, I was still wearing khaki shorts to school. Now that Harrison Ford, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg have collaborated once more for another adventure epic with our favorite archaeologist, I feel like I am a child once more.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is […]

9.04.08 Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story
Filed: comedy, Musical
Comments: Be the first to comment

In a perfect world, all parodies or spoofs would be almost like this film. Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story is so different from most of the films that the Judd Apatow House of Comedy has churned out lately but it could lay claim as being one of its finest.
The music is perfect, the dialogue […]

You may think that this being the third time I am talking about my impression of George Clooney that I hate the guy. No, in fact I actually admire the dude. he is involved in his craft, he is into all those socio-activism and political stuff that he is quite the influential person that I […]

Last year, everybody were in shock after reports came out that Owen Wilso nwas rushed to the hospital. What was more surprising was the news that it was due to an apparent suicide attempt. How could someone as successful as he is even think of taking his own life? Here was a guy who was […]

While I love many film trailers, a lot of the upcoming releases have been coming up short lately in terms of anticipation factor. We are throwing certain films that are not even worth mentioning. What we are going to discuss are two films that  thought would have great trailers but end up being nothing more […]

Sometime last year, I wrote a post regarding the trailers I really liked, thus piquing my interest on those particular films. This year, I planned on making this year’s answer to that article. After all, another installment of great trailers would not hurt anyone, particularly me. However, when I thought about the trailers I have […]

If there is one comedy film that I will be anticipating in the next few months, hands-down that has to be Tropic Thunder. Of course, you would then ask what film is that. It is not the comedy film that has been a huge hit lately. It does not have the Judd Apatow name attached […]

After the disappointing box office returns of Semi-Pro, the question now stands: is Will Ferrell still the box office force we thought he was? The string of hits he has had over the years is now part of Hollywood history. In this business, however, you are paid by the way your last film performed.
Ferrell still […]

28.02.08 Juno Review
Filed: comedy
Comments: 1 Comment

As comedies go, this one is as witty as it is heartfelt. Juno is one of the most talked-about films lately and now, I can see why. It is beautifully made, excellently written and astoundingly acted. This is a crowd pleaser that really pleases and does not try at all.
Teenage pregnancy is a controversial subject and […]

Vince Vaughn is no Tom Cruise or Jim Carrey but he is a better bet to carry a film in the box office than, say, Robin Williams nowadays. Vaughn is not just yesterday’s tabloid fodder. People pay money to see him act liek a fool lately. I must admit, I like him doing those dramatic […]
