The other night I was browsing the DVD selection at my usual video store when I noticed Immigrants (L.A. Dolce Vita). At first I just looked over the film, as it looked like a children's flick at first glance. Upon closer inspection though, I caught a line front and center, right above the title that stated; A zany cartoon feature for EVERYONE who loves The Simpsons. As soon as I read this, I... more.

Here's one I missed in theaters so I'll give you the rundown of the DVD. Pandorum is a sci-fi/horor/thriller set in the distant future. Earth is exponentialy overpopulated and humans have looked to the stars for a new start. Light years away the planet Tanis is discovered and is found to be similar to Earth. An enormous ship is built to transport thousands of people in hypersleep to inhabit the p... more.

A belated review of James Cameron's Avatar.  Which is probably for the best, as the dust has now settled on all the hype and hyperbole, even as it is breaking more box office records as I type.  There goes another one!  Avatar has now officially made $700 gazillion, give or take a trillion. So, first things first, does this "game-changer" really merit all the plaudits?  The answer is a reso... more.

Sherlock Holmes, released Christmas Day 2009, is an action-packed portrayal of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous private detective. Robert Downey Jr. plays the daring detective with sidekick Dr. Watson played by Jude Law. Rachel McAdams also makes her appearance as Holmes bad-girl love interest. Fans of the original works of Holmes may find themselves slightly disappointed in the liberties that th... more.

Soccer films have rarely fared well on the big screen.  Be they tales of rags-to-riches (Sean Bean vehicle When Saturday Comes) or given a WWII setting (Escape to Victory), something seems to be lost in translation when trying to show the beautiful game on film.  Even the faux-Hollywood gloss and carpet-bomb marketing campaign of the Goal! series couldn't prevent it's fate of straight-to-DVD... more.

8/10 Told in chapters/sub-genres, Quentin Tarantino's latest love letter to the movies, his long awaited World War II flick, Inglourious Basterds, delivers the greatest war story ever told in the form of his first true epic. Whereas Kill Bill was a personal story stretched across an epic canvas, Inglourious Basterds is the first Tarantino epic, squeezed into a World War II tale. While s... more.

Year One is one of the very few films that I actually recognized the name of the director, Harold Ramis. In my mind Ramis is the Michael Bay of the comedy world. Ramis has worked on many classic films such as Animal House, Caddyshack, Groundhog Day, Vacation, and of course Ghostbusters. I normally pass over speaking of the directors and writers of the films that I review, but in this case, I fe... more.
