TOY STORY 2
 Release: Nov 99 - Review: 4 Sep 10

Toying with our emotions.
...continues the tale of the toys from Andy's room, adding a few characters, upping the chase ante and breaking our hearts with animated toys that are better actors than people.

ROLE MODELS
Release: Nov 08 - Review: 30 Aug 10

Old rockstars never die - they just become movie references.
It's mildly funny and mostly vacuous, the most fun coming from all the KISS references.
TOP
SAVING PRIVATE RYAN
 Release: Jul 98 - Review: 25 Aug 10

A Spielberg fantasy done horribly right.
After the surety of hand he displayed with disturbing violence in his Holocaust epic SCHINDLER'S LIST (1993), director Steven Spielberg turns his camera on a very American World War II story.

LIAR LIAR
 Release: Mar 97 - Review: 23 Aug 10

Fabrication Retardation.
Awesome Carrey. That's no lie.
TOP
PARANORMAL ENTITY
Release: Dec 09 - Review: 23 Aug 10

Paranormal En-titty.
I watched PARANORMAL ENTITY at night and I was not able to sleep afterwards. I was laughing that hard.
TOP
OBSESSED
Release: Apr 09 - Review: 19 Aug 10

Hell hath no apathy, like a woman scorned.
...writer David Loughery and director Steve Shill have crafted OBSESSED as if they've never known the embrace of a woman, let alone been stalked by one.
TOP
ORPHAN
Release: Jul 09 - Review: 19 Aug 10

The Kid Ain't Kidding.
...when an upscale couple with two children adopt a 9-year-old orphan with scary theme music, familial bliss is not in the flow chart.
TOP
JOE KIDD
Release: Jul 72 - Review: 17 Aug 10

Just Kidding.
...a towering example of Eastwood being himself, doing all those outlandish things only Clint can get away with in a Clint Eastwood movie; the types of things that make schoolboys grow up idolizing the laconic, lanky super cowboy...
TOP
SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE
Release: Dec 03 - Review: 13 Aug 10

Something's gotta give - Jack's heart, Diane's hips, or my patience.
The young audience who usually falls for romantic fluff don't really want to see their grandparents grinding. And the old folk for whom this movie resonates should know better.
TOP
THREE KINGS
 Release: Oct 99 - Review: 12 Aug 10

KELLY'S HEROES without the ragtag.
...a stunning, ferocious black comedy; heavy action, heavy emotion, heavier incongruity, as a troop of American soldiers in Iraq attempts to steal Saddam Hussein's gold.
TOP
DANTE'S PEAK
Release: Feb 97 - Review: 12 Aug 10

Goldeneye meets Thunderball.
If VOLCANO was the fun fun fun volcano movie of 1997, DANTE'S PEAK was its serious big brother. That doesn't stop it being unintentionally funny.

BIG FAN
 Release: Jan 09 - Review: 7 Aug 10

Drama is Easy, Comedy is Hard.
I have no love for Patton Oswalt as a comedian. But what a remarkable dramatic actor!

COMING SOON to Poffy's Movie Mania...
A list to remind me to finish those sketchy reviews gathering angel dust in my drawers...
  Reviews in Progress: You can click on the pics to see the unfinished/rough writings that are surfing their way to their spot on this website even as you ogle them...don't expect them to be readable, or even to make any sense - they're just scribblings. Some are so unfinished they're not even posted here... d'oh! But you can see their pretty posters... ah, promises, promises.... hope was the greatest evil in Pandora's Jar....
